A Note from Greenlight about Curbside Pickup and Phase 2
While NYC may be entering Phase 2 and allowing customers in stores,
Greenlight is remaining cautious and taking a 'wait and see' approach. We would prefer to prioritize everyone's safety - customers and staff alike - and watch what happens with the virus infection rates in the weeks to come. We care about everyone's health too much! So until further notice,
Greenlight will continue to offer curbside pickup and direct-to-home shipping. But in the meantime, we will work on expanding what we can offer to our online and curbside customers - stay tuned for updates about increased offerings as we add back in services.
In the meantime, thank you for supporting us and our neighboring small businesses as we work through this shutdown/reopening process together. We are a small business made up of tiny but mighty (and fairly tired) humans. We've got limited staff at the moment, with only a few staff on site at a time, and everything takes longer with safe distancing. This means that what we're offering is limited and might be slower than you'd like for now, though things will change as we move forward through recovery/rebuilding.
Here is what we are offering now:
- We are offering curbside pickup appointments during daytime hours Monday through Friday (though we hope to expand hours soon as we re-hire more staff and train everyone on our new procedures).
- You can call the store between 12 noon and 5ish PM and pay by phone, OR order anytime on our website for curbside pickup.
- Note that online orders are processed in the order they're received, and after placing an order you'll wait to hear from us about next steps. As mentioned, we are working with limited staff; please be patient if you don't hear from us immediately!
- We are NOT currently doing special orders for curbside pickup; we are only selling what is on hand in each store at the time of the order. You can tell what's in stock by looking at the "on hand" numbers on the book page.
- If we don't have the book you're looking for on hand for curbside pickup, we'll remove it from your online order (more on title availability below.)
- After we process your order, you'll receive instructions on how to schedule a pickup appointment for a specific time.
- We are NOT currently offering sales at the door.
- If you really need a particular title we don't have at the store, or if your order is over $100, you might want to consider shopping on our website and choosing UPS Shipping; shipping orders come directly from our supplier warehouse (which has more titles than we do), and shipping is free over $100.
- All of this is subject to change, as we rehire, expand our hours, and refine our process.
A note about what we do/don't have in stock:
There are some things we don't have on our shelves that you may think we should. We're working on it! We are actively ordering hot titles and new releases, but our stock is limited by two things:
1
) As a small business who has been mostly shut down for three months, the money we have to spend on bringing in new books is limited and we have to spend carefully. We're prioritizing payroll and staff -- because humans are important!
2) All of the publishers and the supply chain (printing, shipping, distribution) have been hit hard by the virus' effects too. It takes longer for them to process orders in their warehouse using safe distancing. It takes longer for the printers to print the books with safe distancing. Everything is slower. Remember the toilet paper craze? Same concept applies. So, we are out of a number of hot titles (for now) but we're working on that too.
Again, thank you for your support and understanding. We look forward to seeing you!
