I haven't done one, but basically downstocking is taking inventory from the back to replace what has been picked from the shelves. So you'd be moving product and needing to be very specific on what you take, how it's positioned, and your record keeping.
Best Buy is one client I frequently see these jobs for. And a web search indicated to me that downstocking is a core part of their employee training. So I'm left wondering why this is run as an ad-hoc for a shopper. Quality control? Or just outsourcing an unwanted task?

Is this at a dollar store like Family Dollar or Dollar General?
If so, they keep their own staffing low, say 2 employees per shift, and then certain brands will have merchandisers go in to handle stocking. I used to see Purina Cat/Dog food from one of the merchandiser apps at those stores, and pay was like a whole $8 or something to haul around heavy boxes of wet food or large bags of dry food. Hard pass.
Both of your time estimates are right on. First time will probably be closer to 6 hours than to 5 hours.@Skipurplepaint wrote:
@AZwolfman About how time-consuming would you say? The guidelines say 2-4 hours, which makes me think the first time has to take more like 5-6.
