My order finally processed. I edited my account to add the 'quick checkout' option; it went very quickly once I could skip the last few confirmation steps.

I had the IE running, google chrome, and calling. The phone never made it pass option 1 place an order. I was even using both lines I have. You would of thought I had a 1000000 million on a diving stock the way I was acting.  Out of all the phone was the worst. But keep going, the order confirmation is well worth it.

Note: If you have account w/ the Mint, try the "Quick Checkout" button instead of the "Continue Checkout" button since it's one step less.... should make it faster. Also, a quick check on ebay shown some completed auction going for around $400+ shipping (after fee and everything, there's only $40+ for profit). For those of you can't stand the ordering process. You can probably get them for around $400/set. I'm sure plenty members will be willing to sell directly to save on the ebay fee. There are HOPE!

Throwback, my wife is on her laptop and she has been on the CC page for half an hour now. What a PITA this is!

FWIW, after waiting for the CC page to complete for 5 minutes, I just stopped the page and clicked the button again. Had to do that a couple of times before it finally moved to the next page.

Why do I get the feeling that it's the GOONS and their MINIONS at HSN who are lousing this up for the rest of us trying unsucessfully to order one of these Sets ?

My issue was that I was trying to send it to another address that I am presently at instead of the billing address!

The site is working much faster now; I was able to get my 2nd order in easier than the 1st. (I had to break up the 5 sets between 2 cards.)

FWIW, I think the little bit of patience I showed paid off. I only refreshed when the loading bar disappeared and dropped me back to a Page Not Found screen, otherwise when it did seem the loading bar was slowly moving, I let it go and waited and some times it still timed out, other times this is when it would actually load the next page and move my order forward one step. Be Patient if you haven't already gotten through.

Checking your email is the only way to ensure that it processed?  (Can't check my email at work) What about the Order number on the Online Order Receipt? bjones; what about the heart-racing, blood pressure raising experience and sheer frustration with the mint's antiquated web site and single-line phone ordering system? There ought to be t-shirts ( I made it through the 25th ASE Anniversary ordering process) made for this traumatic event!
