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

[Sara_H]

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

[PenguinPower]

LED signs are OOS in all configurations 

[MOM]

I have noticed that too. I truly hope they will come back. 🤞🏽

[ColsCreations]

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.

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.   

[ColsCreations]

I can find NO trace of pacifiers on Zazzle. I know it used to be a big problem in the back-end with seeing if something was actually discontinued or just OOS but if it's been two years I'd guess they've been discontinued. Would you be willing to share a link to one of yours? I'd like to see what I can see from your link and add it to my list.

[LauraLee]

Sure Col.  These 5 are the ones without the "Discontinued Product Option" on them.  And between four other stores, I have 10 others that have the discontinued product option label on them.  I cannot find any reason for the differences at this point.  But, I would like to mention that when looking at these 5, notice how many more are actually under the products, "Frequently Viewed Together"...there's a lot more in the MP.  TY

FYI, just looking at the 1-3 star reviews, it's either the printing was coming off or the printing was too small.  I think we just need to know what to do, because there's no other product like it to transfer to.

[ColsCreations]

Thank you. Since they [pacifiers] are non-existent in the MP (not on the Site Map, no sub-cat for them in the drop-down, can't bring any up by searching even by exact title) if I haven't published the product type myself I can't even look at the CYO blank unless someone shares a link to one they have published.  The five you shared all show to me as a customer as "this Color is temporarily sold out" but every color & size choice is, same as if looking at the CYO blank. Showing more pacifiers in the scrolls underneath the product is just a loop-hole in seeing a product that is otherwise invisible in the MP (unless you have a direct link to one.)
I am going to add them to the OOS list I am keeping - https://colscreations.com/OOS/
I would like to add all the items people are reporting in the other thread that are probably Discontinued but still showing as just OOS but I need links. So please, if you can help me maintain a current list by dropping a link here to one of these product types, please do & thank you. 😉

Col,  I can give you a direct only link for one of my Mason Jar Glasses.  These say "Discontinued Product Option", so I have the 6 that I had set to DO.  Here's that link:

Here's one not on a list, but seems like I remember them saying it was Discontinued, however, mine says the Discontinued Product Option.  It was the Knit Visor:

[ColsCreations]

Thanks for the links. Now I can check those product lines out tonight when I get home and add them to my list.

[ColsCreations]

I just looked up "booginhead" which was the pacifier brand/maker. booginhead .com leads to "infantino" .com wherein no pacifiers are offered. There is still an Amazon storefront for BooginHead but again, NO pacifiers. So obvioulsy need a mod's confirmation on them (and everything else) but sure seems like the supplier stopped making them and Z just never got the system updated to reflect that they are discontinue/gone and not just temp OOS.

[ColsCreations]

Infantino Acquires Award-Winning Woman-Owned Baby Accessory Brand BooginHead

I looked at Infantino's full product catalog and they are not selling pacifiers. I'd guess that Z was not able to find another supplier for them and if it's been two years, they are not coming back

[ZAZ-TD]

Thanks everyone for this info. It really helps.

[Connie]

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!

[Mark]

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.

[Sara_H]

thanks @Mark and they're still available on .com 👍

[Mark]

Hey @Sara_H,

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

[Martin]

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.

[Sara_H]

Ties  - OOS

ID badges - OOS

[Marcia]

Erasers – OOS

[ColsCreations]

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.

@Scott 

Would it be possible for you to remove my two posts here with the long table lists in them? I did that before creating my own off-site list and those two posts are creating a very long bit for people checking this thread to scroll through. Thank you.

UPDATED:

Kids/Small size Bandanas back in stock.

I also updated my list to show what I could confirm by searching the forums as being actually Discontinued per a Mod. Other things recently mentioned, I noted what I could find about them and marked what is long-term OOS and presumed Discontinued as such, but not going to mark anything as definitely Discontinued without confirmation by Z.
