    Seems like it's a recurring issue when the site gets hammered so unfortunately a little bit of luck of the draw. Happened to my wife for anabasis but my device was fine.

    Yeah, this has happened to me since the website migration. I have to force myself to remember it during these quick sell-outs.

    This happened to me during the Anabasis release so I was on the lookout for it this time and glad for it because it happened again.

    Managed to get a package, but it took a lot longer to process this time around (compared to Anabasis). Traffic must've been wild. DM if you need a proxy!

    Maybe they just figured anyone greedy enough to spend the extra nanoseconds to try to increase the quantity to buy more than one was going to get shutout anyway. :grin:

    Not that we'll ever get this data but I'd be particularly curious to see a distribution chart with the % of orders that got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5-10, 10-20, 20+ bottles.

    This is kind of how I felt about it. It sold out so fast, I think if I’d taken the time to add more than one to may cart, I probably wouldn’t have gotten it.

    The highest I saw someone in a Facebook group get was 5 packages. A lot of 2/3s.

    This one treated me much better than Anabasis! My bank sent me a confirmation txt and i had to switch to a ccd i had loaded, honestly surprised i had time to submit payment twice!

    The randomness of people's experiences is just wild with the shipping default and all that stuff.

    I doubt anyone would willingly admit they bought 10...

    We'd all be waiting in the parking lot, just not for our purchase.

    Grats to all who got bottles! Heck of a package this time around imo.

    Welp, there's 4 Continuance up FT on BA's trade forum already, and 0 ISO. 3/4 to flip for bourbon. Paints just the sort of cynical scene I bask in.

    While I’m sure it causes some people to miss out, no limit sales have allowed me to hook up a good friend who is pretty bad at big SP releases. Hopefully other people do this also to hook up their slow finger friends.
