Shop Till You Drop! Yeah. I know you're not supposed to shop online using company resources. But, if you're going to do it, you may as well save some money.

"We have had an overwhelming response initially from our loyal food & family readers and website visitors to this limited time offer. We have temporarily stopped taking new orders at this time but anticipate reactivating the site by Monday afternoon and keeping it open until all inventory has been fulfilled. We would recommend you periodically check the website on Monday. "
This is on the site, on the FAQ page. So if you missed the first time, try again on Monday!

Whoops. Reading two threads at once after a going-away party after work which involved tequilas.

who's going to check that she didn't post anything about Monday on the Amazon Friday Sale thread...

I'm bummed this time around. I got in, filled in all the forms and it wouldn't accept it. Either because my daughter's address on her card was here (although it was being sent to my son't address) or because of cookies to this computer. I emailed the information to my son at his office so maybe he can do it from there.

More complete version....

I tried ordering one of these boxes for my son. I figured it would kick out my credit card number or name so I tried using my daughter's credit card and having my son the recipient (since it was for him) at his house. I figured it might go but it didn't. Unless he finds time to do it today he'll be disappointed because he really liked all the stuff that was in mine. I'd also love to have him return the half box of mine that he took. lol

They might be reading a cookie on your machine - delete your cookies and go back!

Meanwhile, I'm finding the site is loading PAINFULLY slow - must be deluged with stuff, since I'm accessing via a T1 line!

OMG...my box arrived ALREADY today. It's wonderful! Regular sized (not sample-sized), good stuff that I'm going to have to fight the boys for.

I've been trying all afternoon. The site is completely FUBAR.

I even spoke to a rep on the phone. She can't get into their system either.

Oh well. I didn't need those Newtons anyway.

When I posted at 1:17 earlier, I'd just ordered. Slow loads and occasional refreshes, but I finally got through all the steps. Keep trying!

I finally got my order through. At 5 am.

But it wasn't painless. All day yesterday, and even this morning when the system was running fine, I kept getting an "unknown error."

After much trial and error, I finally figured out what it was. : The name of my city didn't match the zip code. There are about 4 possible city names that link up with the zip code in most databases. They only liked one of them. :

I could have been done with this early yesterday if they had just spelled out the damn error. :

Oh well. Newtons acomin'.

My son ordered his own and got two boxes. One is being sent to his house in his name and one to my house his name. Lucky him....I still haven't gotten through since you all gave me hints. Oh, well. I did get a box the first time and I know you all will love yours this time

MJ, it's on the second page, after you click "order now".



I'm so glad that most of you got through and got one! I love it when I find something good and get to share it!

We've already polished off the Newtons, the trail mix and Wheat Thins (boy those came in handy on Friday when the kids and I went to get the brakes fixed!) half the Fusions and half the cheese! Doesn't take long in a house with two adults and two hungry kids!

I had my credit card typed & hit send when everything crashed. I never received a confirmation so it looks like I missed out. Oh well, few calories!

Thanks for letting me know--it was fun trying.
