melis108 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I went down to Sears yesterday to look at the tree that will be on Sale on Friday. I really liked it so I asked one of the employees if I bought it now would I be able to get a price adjustment. He told me that I had to be there on Friday to get that price. He also said that people will probably camp out the night before to get one. I just happened to walk out of the store with one of the tickets you use to buy the tree. I only had it because I was going to buy it if I could get the price adjusted later. So, what is my best bet? I've never shopped on Black Friday and now I'm all stressed out about getting this tree. Any suggestions to ensure I get the tree? (And, I mean without shoving people out of my way!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kselzer Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 know exactly where they will be on the sales floor - so you know exactly where to go when they open the doors. Sometimes sale items will be displayed in the aisles and endcaps and not in the area they normally are in. Also get there early. The sears around me you are safe showing up 1 to 1.5 hours before opening, but of course that will vary by location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I just go ask the associates or send a spy in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, will my husband divorce me if I send HIM running through the store for the tree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL i hope he doesnt divorce you for running through the store for the tree. thats the way the guy at our store explained it to us. that it would be just that ticket you pull off the tree and it would scan right at the register, so i have my ticket and he better of been right.

dd50 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Mine doesn't have tickets and I only saw three trees on the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexcat Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I heard they may open the doors earlier than 5 since they are not giving away gift cards.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afancyfeline4u Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I would be there very early and take the ticket to the first cashier I saw and get it paid for...then they will pull one from the back... Then just to be safe....while you are waiting go fight for a boxed one from the floor so you have a back up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmmiller Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 You can also go to a door where there are not a lot of people waiting to go in, and then Run like crazy to that tree, or a register. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexcat Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 The stores can also order them in for you to come in on the next truck, order it off Sears.com and have it sent to you.....so don't panic....I'd be there at 4:00.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdecker5 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I got mine this morning, after the employee I asked was more than happy to tell me they'd do a PA on Friday morning...needless to say, I will be finding him that morning, just to make sure! I'm so thrilled I got this, they only had three of them, and if I get nothing else, I'll be happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saiynee Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I bought my tree last week (it was actually on sale then too for $250 or something) and went in today to have it price adjusted. The cashier did it, no questions asked, no hesitiation. It's a really nice tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
