What if a product I want is not available?
First check the actual listing on Amazon (The ASIN link is provided on the product detail page). If Pattern’s offer on Amazon.com (not a different seller’s offer) doesn’t have inventory then it wont be available for purchase on the Employee Store as the Employee Store pulls straight from the inventory at Amazon, so check back in a few days.
If Pattern’s offer for the product on Amazon.com has inventory then this product is not available for sale on the Employee Store due to a specific reason.
