In a post on the flurry boards I just read they are taking the ability out to sell packs with items in them. I just set up two vendors too, one female and one male, with sets. I actually thought this was gonna go well since in the last 24 hours they have been up I have sold 5 sets. Guess not

from the test center update notes:

I'm notparticularly likingthis at all. I can see where it can be abused but with return customers you have mutual trust with this is gonna hurt. I have alot of merchant customers who buybulk quantities of clothing and i use this method on my vendor or theirs. I can only play 3-4 hours a day if that and tracking down people,travelling and/or waiting on them can be time consuming. There's got to be an alternative. Just my take on this.

Yep, this is gonna hurt. I understand why they are doing it, I do, but dang. They shouldn't take it away until they can give us another way to deal in bulk and directed sales. As packs, full or not, are counted as a single item, too many people are getting away with using their vendors just for storage. I do not do this, but many, many do. I understand the need to stop that practice as well as the impending vendor limits that are coming soon too. I just think they shouldn't bring this to live until they also give us the directed sales feature.

In the meantime, I could be arranging to set up a Customer Order Pickup house, with a customer only admin list. Depending on the number of items per bag, this will create a waiting list for when a customer may retrieve their order, and require me to run there and back all the time to update the list. I will also not know when they have picked it up and will be forced to deal in bank tips in advance, or after pickup, depending on the trust relationship and... bah. Too much hassle.

Intrepid has a delivery service guild: UPS (Underground Parcel Service) that can be put on retainer. But this requires an added expense for me (which will get passed on to the customer) and arranging pickup and delivery with the courier. But still, better than doing all that racing about and scheduling myself. /sigh

CM's are like nukes. You have them just incase you need them, but as soon as you start using yours the other guys start using theirs and everything goes to hell
