Walmart BF doorbuster hours

[servrich]

Thought I'd share. Just got confirmation that WM bf deals will start at 6pm and 8pm this year. Earlier and earlier every year!

This is not good. We usually have our Thanksgiving dinner at 4:30-5:00 and don't finish until about 6:00. We will have to do a little replanning if we need something from the 6:00 sale. I wish they would go back to the 5:00 a.m. sales!!!

Do you have a source? Or are you an employee? I thought we had already heard 10 pm for doorbusters, but I could be wrong.

It is getting to the point where Thanksgiving will be about sales and not the true meaning of the holiday. This has been done with July 4th, Memorial Day, Labor Day. Thanks for posting!!

[servrich]

I have a source and he's a pretty solid one too. Seems WM had success last year so they're opening earlier.

they'll be doing the first round at 6pm then the second at 8pm. Was upset at first since it'll force us to do Thanksgiving dinner earlier, but at least we can get WM out of the way and focus on the other stores later that night and morning.

What coast are you on? East Coast sales are 8 and 10pm

[theboyzmom]

I won't support this...Thanksgiving is about family time

 

I really miss the early morning sales

Our Walmart said 10 pm again this year. ??

[servrich]

I'm in Mountain time and was told 6 and 8 Mountain time. Would think it's the same in all time zones. 8 and 10 are pretty early too. I'll double check tho and post if it changes. Also hoping to find out some of the items on the list.

It's really terrible. People who work retail get limited time off for holiday's as it is.

[nikkilugi]

It is 8 pm and 10 pm here in KC area - per employee email

[tyreejames]

I am not oblivious to corporate greed but 6pm?? If this turns out to be true than Wal-Mart will be crossed off my list this year. I just don't see this happening...

[jakesmommy403]

My BF partner and I won't start any earlier than 10, so we're curious to see which things go at the 8 pm time. We might wait and head to WM for 10:30. Last year we stopped back at 12:30 (after the 10 and 12 sales) and it was empty in there. We picked up quite a few things that were on the 10:00 sale that people had abandoned all over the store.

wow, this is HORRIBLE. I dont think Ill do it. If this is indeed correct WM is killing the BF spirit

[vonnyb]

6pm or even 8pm is just to darn early. Walmart will see me between 10pm and 12 AM depending on the sale.

[faceofboe]

No way I'm rushing through thanksgiving to make a 6pm sale time.

[maguszxz]

I will take this with a grain of salt. I will wait till Walmart posts the times on the ad. If this does happen, I will be sad but I will roll with it like always. Just make sure I have dinner done before Thanksgiving day. I am a fighter and roll with the punches, BOOM!!

[tsjbenny]

I will wait to see also. I just can't see Wal-Mart starting that early.

[berry1014]

If they open that early then I May miss out some things as I will NOT go shopping that early since we will still have company at our house.

[pogiporkchop]

Such an early opening might be of benefit to me - not for shopping but for work as I have three WMs that I service.

[servrich]

I just asked again and they're sticking to the 6pm and 8pm start times. I'll share any updates I get tho. 8pm and 10pm sound a bit more reasonable so I hope my source is wrong, but they're in charge of the bf event at their store so they should know.

[ytmomof4]

I just talked to my local Walmart they told me sale times are gonna be 8pm 10pm and 5am

[ccmrlend]

My mom works for Walmart and she also said they were just told the sales are at 8pm. 10pm, and 5am.

[hpowers]

I can make family time any time if I want to. I don't just stick to it on Holidays. I don't have a problem with them having the doorbusters as early as they want to. If there is something I want to buy, I'll go, if not, I'll wait. I do feel sorry for the people that have to work during those time and their family acts like it's the only time they would have gotten to see them. Think about it....

[wire5150]

Those times are incorrect...................8 & 10

I don't mind because Thanksgiving isn't a big all day deal in my home, but man. The earlier it is the more random people come out instead of the hardcore Black Friday crowd and I hate that. I guess I better get ready for every teenager, toddler and baby within a 50 mile radius to be in the store with their inconsiderate and Black Friday uneducated parents. Blah =/

I agree 100%, it'll drag in the curious...goobers, for lack of a better word, that'll just get IN THE EXPERIENCED shopper's way, *sigh, but it is America, so...

[tdanette]

It is indeed 8 and 10 this year.
