There isn't anyone on MUD who would volunteer a couple of hours in the evenings to help you out with the administrative stuff? I would, but I'm in the processing of packing/selling a house and driving contents to Eugene shortly.I'm sorry but no, I did lists on the KISS system and can't imagine doing at this volume. (and if you don't know me or KISS know that this is a side gig, not my full time job) I'd have to hire someone and bump drawer price maybe $50/each in order to cover administering the list, contacting people as their slot comes up, answering emails about how much longer others have to wait, following up with changes to an order mid-stream, cutting individual purchase orders, tracking who has paid to know when they can then ship, following up with people that have not paid to let them know their slot will expire in X days, notifying them it expired only to have them come back with "the email was in spam you have to put me back on the list" - all for very seriously several hundred people (based on traffic I am seeing in the notify app).
I do agree with you this current system of stocking every week to have them sell out in minutes to a chorus of disappointment sucks for me too, I'm doing this to make folks happy and have some fun. Not disappoint folks.
SO someone code me a waiting list app in liquid I can drop into Shopify and I will pay you in gear. No joke, email me land shark outfitters at the gmail.
