Indexed/available products

Greetings everyone!
I'm new to Zazzle, I looked around for some of the options and ended up by starting my trying from here, being one of the reasons the fact that you can create more than one store under same account.

I added some new products a few days ago, and as I don't seem them showing up on home page of store, I started checking and reading about it, and I'm getting quite concerned with the amount of people having a lot of products for huge amounts of time still not indexed...

Is this a regular issue?
Can this be a strong enough reason to start looking for another option before adding dozens of products?

Thanks ahead, cheers all!

No matter where you go, no matter the POD, or any sort of business for that matter, there will be problems, but there will also be good things. Right now, indexing is slow, but that doesn't mean it will get even slower. Tomorrow, or next week, it could speed up again. And no, it's not a regular issue. I suspect that Zazzle has "suffered" quite an increase in both new designers and people simply finding the time to create more, which probably clogs the system. Also, they've added a few things that have likely slowed down indexing.

The best thing: Zazzle's design tool is unequaled. I also have a store on another POD, and their design tool is positively rudimentary. You can design great products directly online here. Right along with the design tool is the ability to create templates for text and images, which are aspects of the attraction to the customer.

So no, it's nowhere near enough reason to look elsewhere. Good things come to those who wait, right? 😊

It additionally depends on what your settings are. At the moment your profile shows something under your store tab. While your store shows products and collections. Further I noticed that viewing on a desktop shows the products very fast and viewing the same items within your store or category take a bit longer.
