Heads Up Message - OOS/Discontinued/Temp Sold Out Thread

Sara_H — Tue, 27 Aug 2024 22:12:11 GMT

If you come across a product that used to sell and now doesn't - check whether the product is still in stock and not showing the 'Heads Up' Message.

Small bath mats - change to medium.

Medium Stadium Seat Cushions - change to large.

Small Bandanas - change to large.

Flip Flops: OOS (all types) - not sure when these will come back in stock 😞

Scented Candles : OOS

Uncommon Phone Cases showing as discontinued on co.uk but not discontinued on .com so who knows what's happening with those

Poker Chips (black edge) - change to different color - thanks to @ColsCreations

Medium Teddy Bears - change to small or large

If you know of any others - feel free to add

I took @Sara_H 's info and added to it, including the lighted signs as mentioned.
Included links to the CYO blanks for easily checking the status at later dates.

I found some (maybe 100, just guessing there) UGO luggage in the MP even though all colors in both styles are Sold Out. And they were mostly all from the same couple of Designers. I can't explain that. Likewise, I found some illuminated signs still in the MP (including my own) even though both shapes & sizes are sold out. Also found some poker chips with the black edge as default. It's been my experience that products merchandised with a default choice that is sold out won't appear in the MP, but if you change the option to a not-sold-out style, it'll show. And that's exactly what happened with my poker chips I had published with a black edge. I learned that back when we had the Zipz shoes with all the different sizes that were going in and out of stock. So I don't know what's happening now with some things that are Sold Out still appearing in the MP but I'd still play it safe and change to a not-sold-out option if you can.

*** I made this "list" using the Table feature in the post options menu. Then I copied & saved the HTML code for what makes up the table part of this post. That text file is here. So I (or anyone else really) can edit/update it and re-post since we can't edit/update actual posts.

Scented candles are OOS?! I sure hope them come back in stock soon, with the holidays coming up! I have a few Christmas designs that I posted too late last year, and I was really hoping they'd sell this year!

Flip flops have been out all summer I think. 😞

TISSUE PAPER????? Why is it always out of stock when the holiday season comes around? I got so many messages last year asking when it would be back in stock!

Hey @Sara_H,

Just wanted to let you know that the team have confirmed that the Uncommon Phone Cases are expected to show discontinued on the UK domain.

Thanks.

Hey @Sara_H,

No worries. Yes they should be available on the US and CA domains.

What is going on with flip flops? They have not been available for a long time. Blanks are still available from China so have Zazzle decided to drop them and not told us????

@MarkM Any updates?

Cheers, Martin.

OK so I just went ahead and made a little web page listing of things currently OOS. Everything is dated and contains links to the CYO blanks for easily checking the status of each item. Everything that's been mentioned in individual comments here is on it and I will try to keep watch on this thread to add/remove things from my "master list" as people report them. If you want to tag me in your comments that'll help me keep the list as current as I can. 😉

* This list is based purely on what the public CYO product page blanks say; if it says differently in the "back-end" that's another issue and I'll try to note such but the list now is just what the public would see as OOS.

The baby pacifiers have been OOS for about 2 years maybe, and nothing has been said by Zazzle about it which is why I'm here adding it to the list. I think it's been asked a couple of times now, and no word yet.

@zazzle moderators -It would certainly be so nice to have these OOS products as a drop down product visibility menu in the backend of our stores. That way we could all keep up in real time instead of wasting time collecting lists or researching the forums for them. We could probably clean up our stores must faster for the holidays coming up. Also, right now I have some pacifiers that show the "Discontinued Product Option" and some with no notifications at all.
