Phew, got my gold!

 

My girlfriend decided to phone me at 17:58 and I was stuck on the phone until 18:08. Sounds like I got mine by the skin of my teeth!

 

Edit: I'd just like to add well done to Black Library for improving the servers and listening to the complaints from last time. The free shipping/additional silver copies and the fact that I didn't have to refresh a page shows that at least one branch of GW listens to the customers!

Be careful of your address people turns out they will not deliver to certain areas.

 

From the BL site

 

As UPS requires a signature on receipt we cannot deliver to PO Box, APO or BFPO addresses by this method. Please select or add another address for express delivery.

 

Since you can't choose anythng but express have a backup

So it basically has to be a home address or a place were someone can physically take delivery?

2 seconds past the turn of the hour I clicked refresh on the Gold Edition page and yes the Out of Stock had changed to Buy now.

Pressed it and "Woho!" I got it in my basket. clicked Checkout. 8 minutes later, Yes EIGHT minutes later I finally arrive at the payment info and there is nothing in my basket. It says the Aurelian Gold ed. is at -14 in stock.

You would think that once you put it in your basket it would be reserved for you for a long enough time that you got to pay, but apparently not.

Annoyed now! :P

That's the thing it is my home address that I have listed with them...seems that they ahve improved the server issues but not the other problems

Oh no, so they didn't even like your home address? yikes...i guess i was lucky with a Hong Kong address not to have any problems :S Speed of the website wasn't all that bad to be fair so yeah they must have added more servers.

6,000 copies, gone in less than 20 minutes... if A D-B is reading this, congratulations! This must be some kind of a milestone for BL :P

 

Black Library rubbing their grubby claws with glee. 150 grand in less than 20 minutes

 

Assuming USD prices, $239,700 in less than 20 minutes...

Not happy at missing out on the gold edition. I had it in my basket, upon payment it refused my security password, then declined my order. The few seconds it took to go back, it was sold out . GRRRRRR! :P

 

At least I managed to get a copy of the silver edition (After about 8 tries of trying to pay for it).

 

So, although the site did run alot smoother, there were still a few niggles, which were probably to be expected with the amount of traffic I suppose.

Lloyds TSB's "clicksafe" security feature almost scuppered my order - I was panicking!

Natwest's own "clicksafe" security DID scupper my order.

 

All the way through to the payment screen, card details all in, rejected, rejected, rejected. XSS script problem, I think it said. And then, no copies left anyway.

 

Gutted.
