    My bank said that I have to go through half acre to get all the pending charges refunded. God damn this is a mess. I dont even want to try again to process.

    It is a great beer and I would love to have it, but I just can't justify that price. After taxes/fees, that is borderline insanity. Especially when Pressed is less than half the cost. Maybe it will be on draft in March when bars open back up...lol.

    Yeah I also decided to skip this one. Last year I thought Vanilla Benthic was awesome, but regular wasn't my favorite. The others were good and very sweet, but just something I would be fine having a 4oz taster of, I don't need multiple cans.

    Zero confirmation emails. Two emails to HA about it. A post on Twitter. No responses. At least $1000 in charges to two different cards... and I still can't get an order to go through. Lol. HA may have just lost me completely.

    Im going to assume all of this is going to be refunded but this is absolutely insane. I dont even want the beer anymore

    Looks like they succeeded in propping up Benthic to trade at KBBS valuations.

    Same.

    I literally had a credit card with no balance... get declined multiple times, but I've been charged 4 times on it... to the extent I have gotten fraud alert texts. No confirmation email of a package. That card is now basically maxed out and declined each time. Unreal how poorly this was done.

    The only way this is going to get more ridiculous is if they have one guy handing out all the Benthic and he doesn't report until after the last pick-up that he has had Covid the whole time...

    I can't remember if they actually said this on any posts / elsewhere but you can only pickup in the time you selected on Tock based on the news article here. Given how much of a mess everything was I wonder if they'll revise this, plenty of people I know just grabbed any available time.

    Same. Multiple alerts saying my card was ran, but I have no confirmation email or order number.

    Same here. Tock trying to blame us. Their system fucked up, plain and simple.

    I just got one to go through on my debit card... where I didn't want it. I wanted it on a credit card... which is why I tried to use that first. Fucking HA. :triumph:
