Lobo said plans for 24-hour deliveries were scuttled after retailers objected — but maintained expanded delivery windows will help clear backlogs. “We did out best to make sure that we were communicating to those stores with Saturday deliveries,” he said, as well as other retailers expecting stock deliveries throughout the weekend into early this week.Article contentOther options, like allowing retailers to pick up orders from OCS’s distribution centre, weren’t feasible.
