Can any store employee explain BOPIS a bit to me?
I was at AE a couple days ago. I rarely shop in store always online. So we found a few things we liked and I picked them all out on my app and they came out significantly cheaper!! The cashier said they could price match the actual item price but NOT the sale discount. It was over $35 difference.
So I just said what if I did a BOPIS order? She became annoyed and said it all depends on how long it takes to ship it sometimes it says it’ll take 48 hour and others it’ll be ready in just a couple hours. I pointed to the stack of clothing (3 !! Items) and said it’s already done, how long does it take on your end with the “paperwork” part of it all. Again, she went on about how it can totally vary so much….
Anyways I went back a bit later to get 2 of 3 items and waiting for the 3rd one to come into the store except it was already literally in the store.
I feel like the cashier was just trying to be difficult towards me but maybe one of you guys can shed some light on the situation like how bopis order work once placed by customer.
Thanks for your time!
