I don't mean to imply you're an idiot....that wasn't the intention of my post....simply that they were open today for 30 minutes, plenty of time to get an order in. Yes, AEV is challenging to order from...they have a highly desirable product and limited capacity to meet that demand. They can only handle so much each day. We all know that....it's been that way a long time....and so we plan for it.
"Well for your info I can't get online till 1pm. So I can never order ....."
Hmmm...sounds to me like that is your problem....not theirs.
Have you thought about maybe asking for some help? This crowd is a pretty helpful bunch....even passing around what precious Boba's they had extra to help folks who were completely out, while the business was shut down....maybe make a post and ask if some kind soul would order you a few bottles....and you could PayPal them the money....or work something out.
Or, figure out a way to get online at the right time....
Maybe...you could login, get your account and shipping info setup, put what you want in your cart....then at 08:00 am PDT....maybe have someone you could call on the phone....talk them through logging in to your account....and relaying your payment info......have someone do your order for you while you give the necessary info over the phone.
I know these things take a certain level of trust....but there are good, honorable people in the world....and most dishonest criminals don't spend their time getting to know folks and developing a reputation in an online forum......
Up to you man....you can piss and moan your terrible fate, and nothing will change....or, you can do something about it and move on.
