Improved statistics in preparation for Eurofurence

This was quite a lot of programming work today.
This is one of the many tasks that don’t come to mind when you hear „operating a webshop“.

Last year

We can not bring all toys to Eurofurence. There’s just too many of them.
So we have to choose.
In storage, our toys are organised on boxes of up to 6 different models.
Only models of the same manufacturer end up in a box.
In preparation for Last year’s Dealers Den we wrote 2 new statistics:

  • How popular are the products in all boxes of a manufacturer.
    • So we can make boxes with only popular and only unpopular toys
  • What are the N best boxes in terms of the popularity of their toys
    • So we can pack the most popular ones
  • Export this list of boxes in a format our custom „price list“ printing program understand
    • So the printed catalogues in the Dealers Den queue only contain products we actually have at Eurofurence.

We already made a switch to ignore products that are currently out of stock, so they won’t skew the popularity of a box.

This year

What we still had to do manually is to make sure all products that are new
(where not in the shop at the last Eurofurence) are in boxes we bring to the Dealers Den.
Especially since they may be so new, that there was no chance of them becoming popular yet.
So we added the ability to import this information into the statistics database,
store it, display it as additional details next to products and boxes, took care of all the special cases, debugged everything and finally added a second switch to ignore or use this information when sorting the popularity of products and boxes.

Bad Wolf partially restocked and some mistakes


The small delivery by Bad Wolf (English / German) has arrived.
All but 5 toys and most lubes are in stock again.

Mistakes where made

We made a mistake and ordered a few too many toys for the next delivery (not thinking about this one already being in the pipeline).
We also mistakenly ordered 2 colours of the same size for a new model instead of different sizes.

(Yes, postings in the category „Disturbing Dildo Deliveries“ are basically copy&pasted.
There is just nothing original to write about such a thing but many people are waiting
for toys of a specific manufacturer to come in, so it’s important we post these.)

Delivery of Bad Wolf toys on it’s way


A new delivery of Dildos by Bad Wolf (English / German) is on it’s way .

We expect it to arrive in a few business days.

Custom toys:
For just a few days after this delivery arrived and before we place our next order right away, it will be possible to order custom variation again. Just contact us via email, stating all the details like colour and firmnes. Then we’ll provide you with a custom product that can be ordered exactly 1 time via the regular ordering process. The only  difference is that it obviously takes longer to ship and we require it to be fully payed right away. Also for custom made products there is no 14 day return period.

Eurofurence – printed table cloth for Dealers Den arrived

Since the Eurofurence Dealers Den rules require „all table cloth used for covering or decoration purposes“ to be certified B1 flame retardand,
we had to get a custom table cloth printed.
(Just impregnating is specifically named as not compliant, even though that’s exactly what the printing companies do).

We still need new cloth to cover our shelves, since the current one is not flame retardand either. We already have the tools to attach them with sturdy studs instead of self-adhesive velcro this time.

PS:

If you want to inspect a certain toy in person during Eurofurence or already know what toy you want to buy after seeing it, please place an order with shipping „pickup at convention“ or write an email.
This way we can make sure to actually bring the toy to EF (we can only bring a selection of models) or reserve one for your order.

New delivery by Exotic Erotics on it’s way

You know the drill…
A new delivery of Dildos by Exotic Erotics (English / German) is on it’s way.

We expect it to arrive in 10 business days (including customs).
Then we just have to count, label and sort it for the new stock to be available in our shop (English Shop / German Shop).
When that happens, we’ll report here again.
If you want to track this delivery, you can do so here, if you are eagerly awaiting some toy to be in stock again.

Custom Dildos:
For a few days now, it will be possible to order custom variation again. Just contact us via email, stating all the details like colour and firmness. Then we’ll provide you with a custom product that can be ordered exactly 1 time via the regular ordering process. The only  difference is that it obviously takes longer to ship and we require it to be fully paid right away. Also for custom made products there is no 14 day return period.

3 new large toys!

For 3 popular toys,
we have now added LARGE versions:

Atlas the Unicorn (Large)

We already have a Medium and a Small Atlas.
Now we have also added an Atlas the Unicorn (Large) to the shop.
It comes with 32cm of total and 25cm of usable length while
the smaller „Medum“ only has 23cm of usable length.

Jake the Stout Werewolf (L)

We shortened the name to remove the „knotplug“ as it became too long for our labels.
The Large Knotplug now features 16cm of usable length and a 6.7cm knot while the small one has 13cm.

Alto the Chameleon (L)

Alto the large Chameleon now features 21.5cm of usable length instead of 16cm in the small Chameleon
