 Just got my order placed at 1:01 ET. Only took an hour to prove I was human and get through 200 bad gateways. |

This is going to take 3 hours to sell them all! (82258 after one hour) Maybe. I think with fewer people trying over time there will be more successful orders. I am guessing they will be gone by 2PM, but 3PM for sure.  |

I have a wifi repeater. Usually I go into the Office where I have the router for the fastest speed. Today I tried from upstairs and used the repeater. I noticed a performance difference with the repeater. So next item, I'm going back downstairs. for events like this, I hard wire into my router.. |

I got a notification that it hit my credit card company so should be good now.
Also I noticed there was no in stock date shown during checkout so, it looks like these will shipping really soon?
61k units left at 1:11pm

I am sitting between two of the three access points in my house. I do not think that is going to affect me. I was also connected remotely to a Windows 10 virtual machine at the main office data center. We have a pretty fat pipe and it is synchronous (unlike the asynchronous 200/15 connection I have at home). The experience was pretty much the same, even though my connection at home ended up getting the order to process.  Yes, I was worried I might get flagged for being logged in at two IPs over ten miles apart. Never had to identify squat though!  |

It took me an hour and nine minutes with too many bad gateways to count, but I finally successfully placed my order and got an order confirmation. It got several "are you a human" followed by a disconnect. I finally placed an order by clearing browser history then having only one window connected to the mint and waiting for each step to process. It took time, but I managed to get a set.

Totally forgot about this until 10 minutes ago. Was able to get through the system relatively quickly & got an email acknowledging my order. No idea if that means I'll get a confirmation email but at least I tried.

Added to bag at 12:24, figured it was just a matter of time from then. Successfully ordered at 12:55. Completely insane.

Had it in the cart by 11:02 central time but it took an hour and 8 min to get thru checkout fighting bad gateway errors and proving I'm human!
The insanity of this continues.
Just glad I got one ——- finally!

Like some others here, got an "Order Received" email but no order confirmation screen. Not sure whether trying again will void my orders for being over the HH limit...?

I didn't really care if I got this item or not, but I'm one of those miserable people who aren't truly happy unless they have something to complain about. This fit the bill nicely, and I'm really HAPPY now.

Website seems to have cleared up a bit, orders are going at a rate of around 200/sec now
