    << <i>Now it's just trying to load!!! The mint system SUCKS!!! >>



    Been trying since 11:59 - just to log on -
    and buy a 5oz Glacier - then thought I
    could slide over to get the ASE's - no can do.

    Error in loading pages.

    I tried two operating systems - no good.

    Three orders placed:

    Qty = 2 - xxxxxxxx
    Qty = 2 - xxxxxxxx
    Qty = 1 - xxxxxxxx

    All confirmed with email from Mint. Now to call CC company and tell them to expect these charges.

    I kept getting the error page and just opened another browser and got all three orders actually pretty fast.

    Is this what the rest of you guys saw when you placed your orders?

    I bet the mint goes back on all the 5 household orders to limit them to one because of the enormous popularity of this set. They did it before and I think they will do it again.

    This wouldn't surprise me one bit. There's going to be a lot of negs for Ebay pre-sellers IMO.

    can't even begin to get on. How is it possible that The Mint can't just upgrade their computer system to handle high-volume orders. I'll never understand this.

    It looks like, according to people posted order numbers, they are taking orders slowly, I estimate 2000 every five to ten minutes.

    Because it would be an unnecessary cost to them. It only does this on HOT items, which are once a year or so. Maybe up to 3 times.
    The rest of the time, it is fine.

    They also do not lose any sales over this and all 100000 sets WILL sell out.

    They are a business and so they make business decisions, which we (myself included with how you feel actually) may not agree with.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I don't know how you all are getting through. This is the worst I've ever seen it, and I have the fastest cable internet available. Never seen demand like this for a Mint product.

    They're going to sell out in two to three hours. (if people keep ordering nearly 5)

    That's as fast as they can accept orders.

    It doesn't seem like there has been an allout crash like there was with Hot Springs. However, this is bad. Safari seems to be handling it better than Firefox or Chrome for me on a Mac.

    never thought about safari, i used chrome this time, though vs IE8 as IE9 for some reason runs slower. i use IE8 for most everything, still.

    i was time-out three times, before got it all to go through, should probably change my settings?

    I don't think there is a setting for making the mint site servers faster image

    Chrome is working better than safari for me

    So, I was able to get to the payment step, where I hit Quick Checkout, but then it timed out. However, I've since been able to get to my "Track Order" page and see it listed there. So, I guess it went through? If so:

    Order number: 38330xxx at 12:30ish

    My concern is that I haven't gotten an e-mail. Also, what does everyone else see as their order status if they check it? Mine says "Order Status: Your order request has been suspended. "
