Take away!!

Please take away sold items rather than showing them. When it looks like the items are back, no longer available 😮

I agree! It took forever for them to realize that some colors of the gourds were sold out.

I get it. But on the other hand, I hate when they take away stuff that isn’t really sold out, so I never really get to see it.

I can only imagine the fulfillment software has some overload when the feeding frenzy for Valerie's products is on .

Now I'm getting wait list and when I order it it's not available 😡 What's going on over there at the Q?

I do like being able to see what colors were originally available before the sold out.

Might be nice to be able to show colors available and colors sold out. Sometimes a color sells out so quickly you never see it posted again and are unaware it was ever there.

I have a different opinion of that. I wish they would STOP taking away items from the set. Sometimes when one looks down to order a certain clothing item (or whatever), it's nice to be able to come back to the screen and see what you just ordered. If it sells out and someone tries to order it, it will reflect that it's sold out. No big deal. I laugh when I see them rushing to quickly make a color vanish from the set.

@santorini
I totally agree! And as I said above, sometimes people cancel orders or whatever and then those sold out items become available, but you can’t see a video of it. They frantically rush to remove an item.
If it’s a decor item, still show us how it’s displayed, even if that color is sold out.

Yes, I do like to see how different colors are coordinated or how they are used with other colors in displays.

So, I do like to have the colors on the set, even though they might have sold out. I might be able to find that color in a different item and coodinate that way.

For example, the VPH TSV Starry Night Pumpkin colors may also be the same as in the Starry Night Hurricanes. Even if I can't order a sold-out pumpkin, I can get the Hurricanes, instead.

David will have a conniption if sold out items aren't removed immediately.

The take away is a tactic used to push you into that purchase.

As IF you don't hurry up you will miss out.

It is annoying and misleading That's like saying CARTERS won't have anymore underwear

because they ALL sold out. 😂
