Day 3
Black Week is in full swing, and QLS is doing everything possible to support our customers in the best way. For comparison: last year we processed 96,035 orders on Tuesday and 93,605 on Wednesday. This year the volume is even higher: 116,148 orders on Tuesday, and on Wednesday 27,070 are already being processed. Our teams are working with maximum focus to ensure every order reaches the customer quickly, efficiently, and flawlessly.
For QLS, Black Week is not just about high volumes, but about service. Thanks to well-trained teams, streamlined processes, and close collaboration with our customers, we can handle the peak loads and secure fast, reliable delivery. We are fully prepared for the remaining days of the busiest week of the year.
Day 4
Black Week continues at full speed, and Wednesday’s results speak volumes. With 110,288 webshop orders, it was another day where our teams gave everything they had. Fast coordination, high focus, and seamless collaboration, exactly what is needed to get through this peak week smoothly.
Thursday morning also started strong. Another 12,534 new shipments have already been created, and the warehouse is running at full capacity. Even office staff was asked to assist today, and they joined the warehouse teams to help manage the peak workload.
Thanks to the collective effort and close cooperation with our customers, we continue to stay in control of the pressure. Black Week remains the ultimate test of strength, and we’ll keep you updated with the latest insights.
Day 5
Black Week is nearing its end, but the energy at QLS remains high. On Thursday we processed 113,297 orders, and on Friday the counter has already reached 11,903 new shipments. Our teams remain focused and efficient to get every order delivered quickly and reliably.
Today, all colleagues were treated to a delicious oliebol, a tasty break during this intense week. From warehouse to office, everyone is contributing to the success of the busiest week of the year.
Black Week at QLS shows what’s possible when teams work together with focus, precision, and perseverance. As we head toward the final days of this intense week, our attention remains on speed, quality, and customer satisfaction.
Day 6
The Saturday of Black Week immediately showed that the pace at QLS is far from slowing down. With 50,758 orders, the volume remained high and our teams kept the energy strong. Even though the weekend has officially started, the warehouse continues to run like a well-oiled machine.
With one day to go, QLS continues to show that peak pressure is not an obstacle—but an opportunity to demonstrate our strength.
Day 7
The final day of Black Week has arrived, and even on Sunday the pace remains strong. Today the counter reached 79,403 orders, that’s 50% more than last year. With this, we officially close this intensive week.
Over the past days, we processed enormous volumes and once again demonstrated what QLS stands for: flexibility, scalability, and a team that always delivers. From early mornings to late evenings, every colleague contributed to the success of Black Week 2025.
Although Black Week officially ends today, we remain in peak mode for a little longer. On Monday we expect another busy day thanks to Cyber Monday, a day that traditionally brings an extra wave of webshop orders. Our teams are already in the starting blocks to tackle this final peak with the same energy, precision, and collaboration.
Day 8
Cyber Monday delivered the expected additional surge. With 164,999 orders, we were literally one order short of reaching 165,000, a milestone that was just within reach. But despite that symbolic difference, the result is nothing short of impressive: a day that proves our teams can continue to scale at maximum capacity even after Black Week.
The warehouse processes continued to run smoothly. Thanks to the combined effort of all departments, the workflow remained stable, fast, and error-free. As orders kept coming in at high speed, our teams maintained full oversight and processed every shipment on time.
Cyber Monday marks the perfect conclusion to a week full of peak pressure, teamwork, and outstanding performance. And with these results, we look back with pride on one of the most successful Black Weeks ever.
