Is every club over run with more books than they have space for.. same with clothing ! What is with these buyers . Our clothing looks like a flea market I’ve shopped in Florida lol. Books are so jammed backed with so many stupid books no one buys.. and have 2 pallets still not stocked . Do our buyers think having the clubs look junky is competition with costco ? Costco clothing is always neat and not over run with extra cr-p.. they barely have books except seasonal books. Sam’s has become a bigger dirtier junkier Walmart

Nike is cutting off thousands of third-party online sellers in China starting in January. The reason given: they sell Nike products at heavy discounts, which hurts the brand.

But stores don't discount products that are selling well. They discount because shoppers aren't buying at full price. The discounting is a symptom, not the cause.

Removing the sellers doesn't create new demand. The same unsold shoes still have to go somewhere, now into Nike's own app and website and its partners' physical stores. If shoppers still aren't buying, those channels face the same choice: cut prices, order less, or sit on extra inventory.

The latest earnings already hint at this. In the most recent quarter, Nike's China sales fell 26%, and even Nike's own stores and online channels there were down 18%. Those are the channels shoppers are being sent to, and they're already struggling before the change takes effect.

Bottom line: Cutting off discount sellers may make the brand look more premium in the short term. But if people simply want less Nike right now, the problem doesn't disappear. Nike ends up with fewer places to sell, slower sales, and more of the discount burden on its own shoulders.

When scanning out Non-con, the packing screen shows hundreds of items we've already scanned out. Units in store show zero. How can I get rid of those and actually see what I'm scanning out?
They really need to make a report that shows the sticker # and items. I've got a box with the wrong sticker and now there's not much I can do. TYVM

We have been seeing an influx of “vendor resources” added to our teams to “help” with inventory.
Something’s rotten in the state of Denmark

This is random... but... Honestly, feels pretty bad. So much brand decay, not good.

Does anyone know when the June inventory is for cosmetics? It’s been late June for many years but sometimes it’s in July. Just curious if anyone had the date so I can plan my vacation accordingly.
Thanks

How do we keep carrying ugly inventory? Stuff that nobody wants and is straight dollar store quality. Who is sourcing all these cr-p items? Search Nike shoes and it’s 80% ugly tjmaxx stuff. Can we fire the team who keeps buying ugly sh-t nobody wants? How are we relevant if we keep selling stuff nobody wants???

Literally in the Deep South after a major hit of an Ice Storm, AT&T not sending any equipment or accessories! Shelves are bare and nothing to sell, but no quota relief!

Is it common to receive an asset inventory request? Do they do that occasionally as part of a normal audit?

My store didn't get any women's slippers, no men's or women's base layer, not enough cashmere, no turtlenecks for women and not enough for men. Slippers are a no-brainer for Pete's sake! What was this company thinking?!?!

I'm curious about how many stores are facing challenges due to a lack of hours while trying to prepare for inventory.

Operations doesn't won't confirm if we are expected to perform an inventory count for December, and our last day before indirect takes over is mid month.

Has anyone been through this?
Are we asked to ship our inventory out?
—or does indirect aquire the house "furnished" ?

What is considered standard inventory levels at Nike Stores?
Such as 20 pairs of specific Nike shirts, shorts, Nike shoes etc?

With the amount of Nike appeal most of you Nike employees have swiped over the years and either sold it on your own or stockpiled it. If you were smart to stockpiled it, did you swipe enough Nike Appeal to open up your own Nike Store Knockoff?

Sounds like that mandatory meeting has paid off in huge profits.
