Ran down to the click store in Cavan when I heard on here that they had reduced the price. Its only 2 minutes away but when I got there the 2 they had in stock had already been sold by phone :mad:

Im through to select address on dabs, anyone else get that far?

Yeah, but it's been loading the next stage for the last couple of minutes. I'm not holding out hope that this means the order will be completed.

I have a touchpad in my basket on dabs.... do I have this or has it been sold to someone else?

You just have to keep trying on the checkout and ignore the secure site maitenance message.

I finally brute forced my way through the checkout and just got a confirmation email for 4 32gb but the stock status says "On order, stock delayed". I'm imagining I'll get an email in a week or two to say I'm SOL.

Got through to the final Dabs 'confirm order' page but crashed there

rivalius13 · 23-08-2011 11:33AM

Somehow made it to the place order page on dabs and it's saying Stock Status: On order, stock delayed.

Imminent is always at least a thousand F5s away.

Reckon that's a crock of ****. They just want to be out of the office when people realise there's SFA available!

Elara's office hours: Office hours 10am to 6pm Mon to Friday. They're prob doing it so they don't have to deal with the aftermath ^^

beardybrewer · 23-08-2011 11:38AM

CORRECTION: just got thru to the order page and it's there. But it did say out of stock the whole way thru the order process.

Does anyone know what dabs will do? Will they get more in stock and honour the orders placed? Or is the out of stock just BS because their system in overwhelmed?

TPD · 23-08-2011 11:39AM

Is it just me or is misco starting to slow down now too? :pac:

celj · 23-08-2011 11:40AM
