What's up with Pacifiers?

[PacifierCity]

I went to the booginhead site a week or two ago now to check to see if they were still in business.  They are.  They are a small Mom run business with a staff of 7, or so their site claims.  It looks they are doing just fine and are not about to close shop.

I sent them an email through their contact option on the website asking them what was happening between them and Zazzle.  I explained that over the last 4 or so months that pacifiers have become completely unavailable to Zazzle customers.  I also told them that I love designing them and selling them too.  Through their agreement with Zazzle, they are one of 2 places that allow someone to design and then buy a pacifier.  At least a quick search of the net did not reveal any others.  The other place does not seem to allow designers to post products/designs for sale.  So Zazzle is the only place that I've found that allows designers to create custom pacifiers for customers to personalize.  I asked them to look into their agreement with Zazzle as something must be amiss.  They have a page on their website that totes the ability to design your own and the link takes one to their Zazzle store.  With so few staff I worry that something has fallen through the cracks and that the agreement will be discontinued...  Not only would we loose another product meant for the littlest members of the world, but I would probably have to change my forum name...lol.

Even though pacifiers have been unavailable for purchase for quite some time, I still get daily views,  There is interest and an active customer base that is looking to purchase them.   There has been a working agreement between Z and booginhead for at least 5 years and there is hardly any competition for custom pacifiers.

Obviously Zazzle can't disclose anything about their relationship/contracts etc with me/us.  Nor can booginhead.  I understand that.  But I will ask of you as I asked of booginhead.  Please reach out to them and find a solution so that we can keep designing pacifiers and so that customers can keep buying them.  They really are a great product and with booginhead being so small a company, maybe something has slipped through the cracks that could be rectified with a little proactive communication. 

I get that a lot has been happening at Zazzle, so much of which I appreciate and applaud.  I understand that you are all really busy keeping this great platform going and growing.  But it makes me sad that such a long standing product is disappearing. 

If you would reach out to them it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for listening to my plea.

I just did a search in main section--blank products,
using the search term pacifier ,not found,
so they are not available to create? it seems.
Maybe the @Mods will be able to answer as to whether they have been discontinued, or can still be created?
Then I tried:

Create your own>

Baby & Kids>

Nursing, Feeding & Health>

• Bibs (1)
• Burp Cloths (1)
  ---no pacifiers listed

@idraw 

If I go to one of my product pages there is still a create your own link under the blank product image.  So you can still create them.  You can't search for them or find them in the product tree because all mouth guard options are discontinued.  On the product page it tells you that this option is not available, please choose a different option or email when back in stock (or something similar)  So they are not officially gone yet, at least according to the product page...  Hence why I am hopeful that a little communication could save the product... or perhaps this post will put an end to them... we shall see...

this is one of these products that is showing as 'sold out' in marketplace but 'discontinued' in the back end and products are hidden. Never got an answer as to why

This question about pacifiers was asked in January.  Seven months later it still hasn't been answered. Will we ever get some kind of an answer? It's very frustrating!! 😖😬

It's been well over a year since the original post.

Is there any update on the pacificers? Thank you.
