Hey guys, back to talk a bit more about Amazon Merch and the shutdown and throttling going on right now. I've been noticing some really wierd things regarding availability of shirt colors as well. So it's no secret Amazon has been throttling a lot of our shirts. Many of us have seen BSR scores disappear from our best selling shirts, some of our best sellers are not showing up in searches even searching the exact titles, many shirt colors aren't available. I've been noticing some wierd things regarding that. So I have 2 identical designs on Merch, both on Anvil shirts. They have some different colors but some crossover colors between the two ie I have heather blue as a choice for both shirts. Last night I went to order one for my girlfriends cousin and on one listing heather blue was unavailable, I checked the other listing, again an Anvil shirt with the identifical design in the same size and it was available in heather blue. Another thing I noticed is I was really psyched to have the number one ranking shirt for a niche I'm in, sales have been great like 8-12 per day. Last night I check on the listing and it's available in 5 colors. I check back this morning and it's only available in one color. I'm having a record month and really can't complain on that front but I also wonder how many more sales I may have if all my shirts and inventory was available. I also touch on the Merch Minds Podcast, Glen and Yong were discussing this same issue, it's affecting them both as well. Yong reports he's doing pretty well on Etsy as well, that's another thing I recently got involved with and while sales are far from exploding, I am getting some consistant sales even my first couple weeks on the platform so that's cool as well. One thing I wonder about is if Amazon is going to start throttling Merch shirts even harder. I believe they will and here's the reason why. As of today any Merch shirts ordered won't be arriving until December 27, after Christmas. I'm sure a lot of Amazon orders at this time of year are Christmas gifts so I think anything Amazon shows heavily at this point through Christmas is going to be items that can arrive before Christmas. For most items you can still order and get items for Christmas, however because Amazon Merch shirts are print on demand and that adds a couple days to print them on top of even the shipping time they can't meet the Christmas deadline and IMHO therefore will prefer to show items which can arrive before Christmas and I think our shirts are going to get throttled even harder. Have you noticed anything else about Merch lately? Have you heard any good news or rumors? How's your December numbers going so far?
