86. I suspect King Arthur's website is just not fulfilling orders

Wed Mar 25, 2020, 07:26 PM

Mar 2020

Because everything is marked as not available on their own site and on Amazon.

It's a reasonable way to send their workers home for their own safety. And an easy way to shut down their order system.

One of the needlework websites I follow sent out a notice. Apparently a lot of stitchers saved links from the past and are trying to order from those old links. The manager of the website does not want to take the entire site down, though she has changed the current pages to indicate she is not taking orders. But the orders from the old links keep coming in so she is pleading for her customers to stop.
