If these figures are correct, that is a 50% increase in number of items shipped which would correspond to sales of around $950 million to a $1 billion... The revenue should be a little lower. The Toys R Us items were not all booked as revenue. Just the shipping fees and they did not charge shipping to speak of. The number that is really going to be a surprise in my opinion is the loss which will be way higher than predicted. There were discount coupons throughout the season. There was no shipping fees for orders over $100 throughout the season. The 10 million mailed flyers had to cost close to what they spent on traditional media last year. I believe the numbers for Q4 will be terrible but that will be blamed on a slowing in consumer spending.
