Has anyone figured out if there is a specific browser that works best for this site???
I was logged in and on right before it went live, and then once it started I was able to go over and begin to put items in my cart. It was slow to load in particular while scrolling down, and I figured that it was a server overload issue. After literally 2 hours, I logged out of the site from Chrome and logged in using Safari, and things seemed to go well, and everything was still in my cart from when on logged in on Chrome, of course as usual without anyway to close out my order.
OK, so I was poking around at the list for other items because I was finally able to get beyond the first set of loaded items (scrolling), and added some additional items. I peeked at my cart, and all of a sudden items that WERE IN IT were NOT, and two had changed over to showing $0.00 next to them in the price column. Of course when I went to add them again, the system said they were SOLD OUT. HUH? In my cart, but with a $0.00 price, then NOT in my cart, then IN MY CART with a price, and then on my cart with $0.00 again??? Then unable to add back the ones that disappeared – all of this happened WHILE adding items on Safari and they disappeared while on the site via Safari?? I’ve checked my cart throughout the day, as I have kept the browser open (btw when I went at one point back to Chrome, and many more items loaded there than on Safari), and I saw my missing items available on the list, so I added them again…and as of NOW, minutes ago – POOF $0.00 next to two of them, and two others completely GONE from my cart.
Color me silly, but I simply don’t get it..and there is NO way to close out the order, and thus my cart seems to shift from having the items without a price, to missing, to having them with a price again. ANYONE have ANY IDEAS why? Would Firefox be best? I have never had an issue before on Safari, nor on Chrome with the sales or early add-ons, with items selling out quickly before as well.
I am just so FRUSTRATED, and I feel very badly for those who aren’t able to order yet, let alone those of you who weren’t able to work from home as I did today, so nobody would know how much time you spent on their site in order to simply get items in your cart.
ON THAT NOTE – if I have items that someone really wants but is unable to order, (I have used this ordering period to pick out the many upcoming birthday & early shopping for Christmas gifts), please do let me know, as this has been incredibly frustrating on my end, and I imagine on the end of many others as well, based on what I’ve just read above. As far as those who are not annual subscribers, then you folks too may want a special item. IF I have it, and do end up having the items actually mailed to me, well please know that I am happy to share with fellow FFF friend here. Absolutely frustrating day which crazy enough was for something that I had hoped would have been a fun experience. I was HOPING for today’s sale to go as well as before, which wasn’t always fast and easy, but NOTHING like today. This is WHY I wanted to order today – to avoid the whole Black Friday type of nightmares, but by golly..this has been tough. (Sorry about the lengthy vent!)
BUT IS THERE A BROWSER THAT WORKS BETTER FOR FFF??? OR was this EVERY browser, and many having the issues I had??
Oh, should you wish to contact me directly – (not sure if I’m allowed to do this..eeek!)
