Which one of you killed the Shirt.Woot Catalog?

Nov 27, 2012 5:21 AM

Seriously - looks like they got so overwhelmed that they've had to stop taking orders.
"Whoa there! The print-on-demand catalog is closed for now

Thanks for checking out our full catalog of print-on-demand shirts. It's been a smashing success – literally, in that the demand has smashed our production and shipping plans. We're not taking any new print-on-demand orders so we can focus on getting existing orders out in plenty of time for Christmas.

If you already ordered, fear not: your shirt's on the way. If you want to place a new order for a print-on-demand design, we'll start taking orders again soon. Check back every so often or watch the Shirt.Woot Facebook page or Twitter feed for updates. And you can still get your Shirt.Woot fix from today's featured design or our Top 20 best-sellers. It's business as usual over there."

Don't look at me! - I haven't ordered any shirts since buying the last Fresh Cake from Purplepalooza.

I'm not surprised, though ... they were up to 24-26 business days delivery last week already - even operating two shifts for 16 hours a day, at a rate of 60/shirts an hour for the fastest DTG printer, that's roughly 24,000 shirts.

Seems like there have been a number of broken sites over the Slightly Better Deals Long Weekend. Maybe this is a new tactic. Get customers to the website, then don't let them buy anything. :)

@narfcake: Sounds like job creation to me. Whether those jobs are for the machines or humans remains to be seen.

Who took the last shirts from the wootie jar. Was it you? Nope, not me. Then who?

I know there are ones that I wanted to order (after the internal argument as to if I like the Anvil shirts or not), but this makes it easy!

I'm not good with making decision... so this makes my life a lot easier... until the catalog come back.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
