> Amazon is not really an appropriate distribution platform for 6-week custom-made-to-order products. Maybe there's another well-known retail site that caters to that type of vendor but it certainly isn't Amazon (or Walmart).

Perhaps Etsy would be a better platform for that product?

Or Amazon Handmade? Does anyone know if Amazon treats Handmade sellers the same as standard Amazon sellers?

I don't think they would trust Amazon again

Anecdotally, Etsy has issues with electronic items not being "hand-made" enough. (Some small music gear makers had problems with that)
