It has begun

It could have if just a few (two?) units were put into inventory.

True, but I hope that's not how they're doing it. Otherwise, it'll mean continually having to check the store for the moment when 5 are put up for sale, or whatever. I figured they would go on sale once they had, like, 100 or something, so that there'd be a window of an hour or two, or something like that, where everyone who has been patiently waiting could jump on it and have time to do it. A window of 5 minutes is a lot harder to happen to hit. It's totally just about luck.

Well let's do another quick test, I volunteer to test my credit card first. :lol

 

[dscribellito]

I hope that was just some store testing where a couple of people got lucky for a minute there. Otherwise, I would rather they wait until there was a reasonable number to sell than trickle out two at a time.

Did you get order confirmation receipts/tracking info?

 

[jb70]

Maybe it was a quick test?

possibly. there's no way they sold out in 2 or 3 minutes

 

[jb70]

Did you get order confirmation receipts/tracking info?

i got a confirmation email from fractal. no tracking # yet. there is also a link to the yahoo store but the order and tracking #'s are blank as of now

 

[wake911]

very well might have been a test "Ok, how many people are trying" then meausre web traffic right after they posted them, as a judge for what to be prepared for when they fully open the gates.

All i know is I need to get ordered soon, my boss is going to kill me for my lack of productivity. I mean, the NCAA tourney has nothing on the Axe-Fx II ordering, haha

[TheReflex]

Were there any expedited shipping options?

 

[gendefect]

Man! And I thought I was spending too much time refreshing already! That was like, once every 15 or 20 minutes or something. Now I feel like I need to refresh every 30 seconds, or I'll miss the next batch! This is like trying to get Radiohead tickets or something.

As in the WHOLE run!??!?!?!?!?!?!? It took me just that long to type my info into the order form and I still got skunked. Some of you guys type fast!

 

[jb70]

Were there any expedited shipping options?

yep. i think there were about 6 or 7 options

 

[FractalAudio]

Nope

WOW. Can you tell us how many units have been sold in that time?

 

[TheReflex]

Cliff, how about some clarification please? Should your eagerly anticipating customers waiting weeks for these things continue to hit the order button every 5 seconds or wait for some future batch?
