If you run 11.11, you inherited BFCM physics in November. Same freeze, same QA.

Fashion calendars end. Receiving does not. Publish refund timing when the pile is a week deep.

Notify lists lie. People will say they never got the email. The agent should not argue SMTP.

Freeze inventory buffers. Pre-write the sold-out warning. Do not let the agent promise a restock you do not have.

Drops create payment failures, oversells, and bot accusations. Script those three before you post the time.

Sale SKUs plus heat-delayed freight. Do not run a new return window during the sale unless you staff it.

Size runs and deadline dates. Exchanges must be faster than the first day of class.

You are not Amazon. Customers still act like you are. Write the non-Prime shipping truth.

Same gift physics as Valentine’s, different SKU mix. Cutoffs and gift receipts still win.

Gift-delay tickets are nuclear. Offer a digital note and a dated ship, not a joke.

Gifts, sizes, and 'I waited until after the holidays'. Staff receiving, not just the inbox.

Publish the cutoff per service. After it, the agent sells the truth, not hope.
