Tips for Securing Limited Stock Before It Sells Out
Timing and preparation make the difference between owning a piece and watching it sell out.
Pre-Plan Your Purchase
- Save your payment info in the store. Guest checkout wastes time.
- Create an account on Cody’s store beforehand. Drops sometimes allow logged-in users to bypass the queue.
- Know your size. For the “Heartland” shirt, sizes M - 2XL run true to size. The hoodies fit slightly oversized - size down if you want a snug fit.
Stay Ready at Drop Time
- Use a stable internet connection. Public Wi-Fi can lag.
- Refresh exactly at the announced time. Some drops go live 1 - 2 minutes early. Refresh 2 minutes before.
- Add to cart quickly, but don’t panic-buy wrong sizes. You can’t change an order once placed.
Accept That You Might Miss It
If you don’t get the item, don’t overpay from scalpers. Cody’s team has done surprise restocks before - keep an eye on social media. Also, many limited designs get re-released as standard merch later (different colorway, lower price). Patience pays. - -

FAQ
#### How do I know when a new limited edition drop is coming?
Follow Cody Johnson’s official website and Instagram. Drops are announced 2 - 3 days in advance. Joining the email list gives you a 24-hour early alert.
#### Are limited edition items true to size?
Most tees and hoodies run true to size. The vintage hoodie fits slightly oversized, so consider sizing down. Check the product description for specific measurements.
#### Can I buy limited edition merch if I live outside the US?
Yes, international shipping is available to select countries. Shipping times vary - usually 5 - 10 business days for the US, longer elsewhere.
#### What if the item sells out before I buy it?
Occasional restocks happen, but there’s no guarantee. Follow official social media for restock announcements. Avoid scalpers - prices are inflated and items may be fake.
#### Is limited edition merch more expensive than regular merch?
Yes, prices are 20 - 30% higher due to smaller runs and premium materials. For example, a standard tee costs $35, while a limited edition tee runs $50 - $65. The quality justifies the price if you’re a dedicated fan. - -
