The internet is not made for flash sales... good thing I was awake anyway and didn't sit up for this only. "9 VTR to go --> Service unavailable"

What are they thinking? That missing the door busters and having a site that crash on 99% of all clicks will encourage people to go on a shopping spree for 5-10% off?

I kinda hope fasttech learns a little from this for next year. I'm not really heart broken that I wasn't able to buy anything, but I'm a little tiffed that everyone was kicked off right at the start. Maybe door crashers are a bad idea, they turn in to site crashers and a LOT of unhappy current customers might take it to heart with their pocketbooks after this trainwreck clears.

At least it was limited to 1 per customer so it was spread about but a 100 items available is very little for a popular company. I tried because I was still up and on the computer with 10 mins to go, I didn't expect to get anything and wouldn't have waited up specially.

You do realize what kicked off at 8pm right?

Their mega boxing sale...fasttech is broke right now


Yeah, that's what were talking about. A lot of people were kicked off waiting for the sale to start and couldn't get back in till like 8:05 because the site crashed.

If you were planning to buy more than one of anything, be forewarned, the quantity discount disappears when you type in the sale code.

My order included 5 stainless beauty rings which went from 83¢ to $1.07 each (with a 25¢ savings -- 5¢ each -- for the sale)
3 adapters went from $1.14 each to $1.30 (minus 6¢ each)

As a result, my total order before the sale would have been $27.71. With the savings from the XMAS sale, it would be $27.90.

I think I'll pass for now.

I got nothing but a coupon. I tried to pay for what drip tips and toppers I wanted BEFORE the sale, got to PayPal and clicked the PAY button and bounced back to FastTech and the page said, 'You got no money or what?' LOL Guess I got bumped at the last stage of payment... still trying to get it paid for :/

I think it'd have been a better idea if they sent everyone a coupon for 70% off ONE item and let us buy at our leisure... what would it cost them? Nuthin... but I'd be back quicker than I want to be now ;/

Well after the long delays on pages loading I did finally get an order placed, only $20.42, lots of little stuff, I just wanted to try out ePacket USPS to see the delivery time. My current 2 orders should be here tomorrow, with SG, and it will be just over 3 weeks. With HKP I had been under 2 weeks for the last 9 orders, shortest was 10 days (I think), so I am just testing the ePacket to see what the delivery time will be. And I didn't get in to get any of the sale items due to the site crashing.
