Meghan Markle’s As Ever Brand Suffers Website Glitch Showing Massive Inventory Per Item
Meghan Markle appears to have a lot of jam to sell.
According to a Reddit thread that began late last week titled “Actual remaining inventory of As Ever products,” there seemed to be a glitch on the Duchess of Sussex’s As Ever website.
The lifestyle brand, created by the 44-year-old mother of two, features a collection of products “inspired by her long-lasting love of cooking, entertaining, and hostessing with ease,” according to its website.
When users recently placed online orders, “it often tells you how many are left in stock,” the Reddit thread stated.
The social media user also added a list of the alleged remaining inventory for “every product” on the As Ever website after pretending to place 200,000 units of each item in their cart.
Per the Reddit list, the website at one point displayed more than 220,000 jars of jam left in stock as well approximately 32,000 available jars of honey, nearly 90,000 available candles, about 80,000 tins of flower sprinkles and roughly 79,200 bottles of wine.
The apparent website snafu was met with jokes from various Reddit users.
“This is hysterical!” one person wrote, while another added: “I still can’t believe she left the Royal Family to become a drop shipper.”
While the extra inventory seemed massive, sources with knowledge of the business told People the numbers were misinterpreted.
“While it’s normal for a business not to talk about sales data, I think it’s fair to say that the glitch that led to this data being revealed points to a business that isn’t just successful — it’s flying, literally off the shelf,” the source said.
“It doesn’t take a genius to work out that what is left points to a company doing extremely well,” the source added. “That large stock order was obviously part of the international expansion plans the Duchess has spoken about for the brand.”
After the post went viral, the As Ever glitch was fixed and purchase limits were put in place, according to the Daily Mail.
