GO! Presale in.

What an absolutely arse bag system.

I have waited all day for that email. As soon as it arrived I clicked on the site, added to basket. Then went off the find the commodity code so UTBNYC could save me import charges. Straight back and obviously adding to basket doesn't hold it and boom. Sold Out.

Nice One

I went through PayPal and it asked me for all my bank details again which I though my was strange. So I put it all in. And when I clicked to purchase, it had gone. So annoyed.

[Schrödinger's Chat]

Think I was lucky enough to get one.

Just read the email and it says more tomorrow:


There will be a hand embellished version as well, however due to the amount in the edition (only 10), we will be releasing all tomorrow on release date.

If the regular edition sells out during the reserve, don't worry because you will have a second chance tomorrow at 12pm eastern.

Does that mean the regular edition could be sold out. I though it was a small presale?

FFS, I should have scrolled down. I was on my phone as well (I'm still at work). Maybe the 20 seconds I took filling my details out was to long. Not happy.

[Acidburn]

oh yea there will be more tomorrow as well as the hand embellished. The edition is low on that one so to presale it today wouldn't be the best idea. We do this for every artist we work with. Its a thank you to everyone that has to see an email from us pop into their email box. Tomorrow is just a second chance for anyone that missed out today.

Missed out on today's presale (wasn't fast enough!), but wondering how many of the regular prints will be on sale tomorrow?

Cheers

shopify? i think all of us pretty much use it these days. Handles traffic perfectly. I dont know how you guys like big cartel sometimes. If I seriously made you wait 3 hours to get a print and ruined your day refreshing hoping it drops, I would feel bad.

A little less then half will be up for tomorrow. Usually we do more for the reserve portion but this time less. Learned our mistake from Tabby's release a couple weeks back.

I feel bad adding something to basket, getting nearly through putting details down and then being told I have a basket of air.

I managed to cart one, it let me fill out all my details. For me then to press to pay for it, it says cart empty or something like that. I wouldn't call this 'handling traffic perfectly''. I thought I had one when I had it carted and was filling out my details.

for 95% of the time, the print is supposed to be held in your cart while you're putting in your info. Hence why there is a delay from a full sell out. Those last 9 lingered in there for 8 minutes.

The other 5% of the time is David Welker, a Star Wars Release and now Bisser. I have no clue why it does that. The only thing I can think of is that if you and someone else get there exactly at the same time, you sort of push through but then it realizes you shouldn't have been pushed through.

Either way, shopify is incredible for traffic. Its basically smooth unless its a very high traffic item and the checkout process bounces back. Have you ordered from us before?

"I managed to cart one, it let me fill out all my details. For me then to press to pay for it, it says cart empty or something like that. I wouldn't call this 'handling traffic perfectly''. I thought I had one when I had it carted and was filling out my details." (

 
I meant traffic as in a sense of not crashing the site. Usually it works perfectly. This is the first time on UTB where a checkout bounced back for some. We unfortunately have to see it on Bottleneck on a few releases that have 4,000+ going for it.

If it was already in someone else's cart before you, it doesnt matter whether or not you have one in YOUR cart. Technically, you have nothing in your cart. If it says "no inventory" or shows 3 (or however many) remaining and you get to checkout and theres an "inventory" issue, you never really had one in your cart. That 3 (or however many) that are showing are in other peoples carts ahead of you that have yet to be purchased. Only way to ever win in any system (unless its a hold system like big cartel) is to get in and out as quickly as possible. Hope that helps to clear it up a bit. And shopify is great because it doesnt crash and burn like tons of other systems. It is a bit annoying in that it will allow you to cart, go through the steps and then get told theres no inventory but you just need to know this: if that happens, others carted and are checking out before you so keep trying until its absolutely goner.

I carted and got to checkout. Then filled my details out. Surely once I'm at checkout it should be mine.
Ah well. There's always tomorrow.

Next time I get caught shop lifting from Tesco's I'll tell them that "Technically I have nothing in my pocket" and see if it works. :-)

It's not really good enough to excuse 21st century software like that is it.

Anyway, there's always tomorrow. It's all part of the fun.. you win some etc etc

No. My feelings weren't hurt because I missed out on that print. But thanks for caring and taking notice my posts. I feel so loved.

Now let me help you out and dry those tears of yours. There, there now. All better. The nice man said there would be more Bisser prints tomorrow.

HAHAHA!!

I'll try the same next time i get pulled over for speeding. Its a bit strange and i wish i knew EXACTLY how it works but i dont. I've seen it from both sides of the fence and its still a bit hazy to me. I think that the actual hold comes at the asterisk after you get from business site > paypal >** back to business site to confirm/pay. On the positive side, at least the site doesnt crash for 20 minutes!! Oh well for me too...i missed also. Cheers and good luck to everyone manana.
