| I'm not running a high traffic shop, but the last few weeks the amount of
orders is significantly less as other weeks. Usually, I get a few orders a day.
Last two weeks only 2 orders per week.
Do other sellers notice decreased (relative) sales volume as well, or should
I investigate something wrong with my shop?
Of course the economic/energy/inflation problems might explain it; still I wonder
if it's a trend others notice as well.
Thank you so much for your feedback.

| We've definitelty noticed a decrease. We are based in the UK and the press
are constantly going on about gas and electric price increases. I think people
are just getting scared and being careful what they spend money on....

| Yeah sales are quite off right now some days recently I have 0 sales but other
days I get 5 sales in 15 minutes so it's defiantly very inconsistent at the
moment

Not for us, but we have nearly 300,000 parts in stock. We are up 30% year over
year on orders.
I hope your orders pick up soon for you, it is stressful. I know I feel dread
when we don't get any orders for a day or two, but then it generally picks
right back up. So, I believe patience is the key.

| There is always a slump in the spring. With the warmer weather people go outside
to play, instead of inside playing with Lego. Every year!

Hi, I sometimes think that the media news does effect people's spending,
like its been already said the gas prices is having a major issue and I always
consider lego as a treat for most people. The increase in household bills may
have sucked up that lego money people would have spent otherwise. In the UK hundreds
of stores have popped up over the last few years so this reduces orders. Is it
the same where you are? Also, I worry about the sales, constant sales with 30,
40, 50% off. Which really reduces the price of everyone's inventory eventually
as the parts sell and it draggs overall prices lower. 🤔. A trick we learned
a few years ago was to close the store for a hour, and then open it again. Sometimes
this can clean out any bugs in the system. If, u think your not getting the traffic
you should be. Hope that helps. 🙏

| April 1 - April 18 2019 - 47 orders
April 1 - April 18 2020 (pandemic) - 150 orders
April 1 - April 18 2021 - 53 orders
April 1 - April 18 2020 - 79 orders
I think traffic is still better than last year, but off from the pandemic.
I've noticed here in the US that the first week of the month, a few days
around the middle of the month and the last few days of the month are generally
higher volume and higher average sales. This corresponds to the times of the
month people are generally paid.
