Holiday deliveries

I just received notice that the McKesson DC that services our account will not be delivering orders on Friday Dec 24 and Friday Dec 31st. Has anyone else received a notice from their wholesaler that no deliveries will be made on those days?

I havent received any notices on what Amerisource is doing for holiday delivery schedule. I am going to be pretty miffed if it the same as McKesson.

Amerisource had originally told us the same, we recieved a call last week that they would be making deliveries on these two days, and would staff customer service part of the day.

Re: Holiday deliveries

We normally get Saturday delivery along with Monday through Friday. McKesson actually called and said that since we get Saturday delivery we will get delivery on 12/24 and 12/31 but the cutoff will be 5:00pm on the previous day.

Re: Holiday deliveries

Thank you all for the information. I am having a conference call with McKesson today to address this. Not getting an order on the eve of Christmas and New Years is not acceptable to me. We are a very large hospital and the only Trauma Center - we normally get a delivery 6 days a week.

Happy Holidays to everyone
