Ah nothing like watching the items in your cart get bought out from under you while you try and checkout in a crashing system.

Yea, the 40 minute in-cart hold didn't seem to work. I lost almost everything in my cart.

 

[Islander]

Just went on and picked up some mags. Everything worked fine. Maybe they got things fixed, or people quit trying.

 

[Drhorsepower]

Well server is fixed. Do you think they will add more or am I SOL? I had it in the cart right away

Trying to pickup a bipod for my daughter who wants to start shooting with me!

 

[Rob01]

Finally got back in to buy the factory seconds PRS Ckyepod I had in my cart and put in all the info and press place order and says can't complete as inventory is too low on item. Screwed again.

 

[ToddM]

Looks like it might be stabilizing, too late though got a couple items in my cart that inventory is now gone on. Oh well it's always an adventure

 

[GenericBadGuy]

Is this the thread where we all bitch about MDT's Black Friday sale being a clusterfuck again?

Yep same here, I feel your pain, but my wallet is happy . It's interesting that the cart at least appears capable of protecting your items for a time limit (looks like 40min) but it clearly didn't engage.

 

[Rob01]

Got same thing.

Same here even though it said it was holding in your cart couldn’t even give them the money before it was gone

 

[Rob01]

Yup. Figured it was in my cart but guess not. Oh well. More money to spend somewhere else.

 

[TheOE800]

Get a refund.

Auto scaling isn’t instant. Don’t open your mouth on this unless you work in Cloud as a field.

Missed the Ckye-Pod blem

 

[akxx]

Same issues as others here—added XTN folding stock in FDE and tried to check out by 3:01 PST. Couldn’t get into checkout repeatedly and then when I did it stated there was nothing. Such a highly anticipated sale, yet so frustrating.

 

[Russ257]

after some messing around I was able to get an XRS stock and a factory second ckye pod HD with Picatinny mount. I have an adapter so I will live.

 

[DAMNKID]

Guess I’ll go look for a super cal

 

[femadog]

It took a lot of refreshing and few steps backwards to go forwards but I got a LH XRS Chassis. for a Tikka build. For once LH might have been an advantage.

 

[gearguywb]

I guess I really didn't want that blem ACC chassis

Sorry I was going to respond but too busy refreshing.

Also, Eat a dick nerd.

 

[stanley_white]

I ordered from MDT earlier this week to avoid the drama. The extra 10% I paid since it wasn’t a Black Friday deal seems worth it right about now.

-Stan

 

[64E]

What a pile of shit. I had item added to cart at 558 on sale site and by 6 was checking out when it crashed, hit refresh for 30 minutes now bipod is no longer in stock..... Thanks MDT

Same here.

 

[JMetzinger]

Tried to get a seconds Ckye pod too. Was in initially then kicked out. When allowed back in all gone. Chit show deluxe.

 

[Csafisher]

Any nightforce deals? Looking for an nx8

 

[morning would]

Well, I’m in, then I lost it all….really wanted to see what the hype was about for a $500 bipod….guess I’ll continue with Accu-tacs. Ah well. Good luck to those who are still trying.

 

[DeathBeforeDismount]

 

[BuildingConceptsllc]

Should have taken a screen shot of my cart

The lesson for next year with AWS is look at the max resources the system autoscaled up, triple it or better, and engage it in advance of the sale. Autoscaling can't react to immediate demand, if they were relying on autoscaling to react to a timed sale, that was never going to work. If the system works, you only need max capacity for a few minutes until everything is sold out.

Heh and it looks like it's crashing again

 

[jeffbtripp]

man this sucks had a factory second hnt26 and triple pull and both sold before I could check out so much for the 40 mins in your cart and the site crashed again . But I did get the hnt 26 and triple pull at regular sale price man that sucks 900 bucks more than the factory second

 

[BuildingConceptsllc]

Boom! I got it to go through. Still missed the single pull I had but I got the other stuff

 

[upjeeper]

looks like some hiccups but was eventually able to place an order
thanks!

 

[rijndael]

The mags that were pulled out from under me, in the cart, were now available to be added. I just checked out and got it. I suspect that message was erroneous.

 

[atepointer]

I did the exact same thing with a factory second HNT 26. Glad I didn’t try to add anything else to the initial order.

Went back and grabbed 2 pairs of factory second M-lok external weights which I likely won't need but at that price who cares, Also grabbed the 5 pack internal on a decent discount which I will need. Very pleased I didn't do the order all at once I may have been out in the cold.

 

[jbuck88]

Took a minute. But order went thru on their site. Great deal on a youth chassis.

 

[Shayne Ward]

Was on the minute the sale started and got a Triple Pull added to my cart. I’ve been waiting for this sale for a month now. Tried to checkout and the site crashed. Really really pisses me off. I’ve tried now for 45 minutes to add it back and it won’t let me.

Do better MDT!! Now some fugger that wasn’t on the site the minute it dropped is sporting MY triple pull

 

[Tbaxl]

So the site crashed for me whenever I went straight to the sale. But if use the drop down tab and go to exactly what your looking for I was able to add it to cart and checkout no issues.

 

[tenringx]

Had a triple pull in my cart at 4:59 and went to checkout….crashed. Now it’s in my cart and being held unless someone doesn’t place an order.

F this- I’m not dealing with this Black Friday mdt bull anymore.

 

[notacos4u]

We are on our own server with AWS auto scaling features which are the world wide benchmark now, if you wipe us out, man what the crap. Jeff Bezo owes you a nickel.

-Anthony

Sounds like Jeff Bezos is about to go broke… 1 nickel at a time… Although I couldn’t get the hunt26 like I wanted, thanks @MDT_OFFICIAL @MDT_Josh for offering up such great deals that no matter what they try, their system crashes

 

[LongRange888]

Factory second hnt26 and double pull lost in thin air.

 

[Simonsza1]

Scored three mags, I’m happy

 

[Rob01]

You just got lucky.

Trust me if you knew how many billions in tax dollars the government alone was spending on AWS each year, you'd buy more Amazon stock

 

[TheChris]

I guess I lucked out. At 3:01PST I had an email with my order confirmation for an XRS and 2 mags. I had created my account and loaded items in my cart earlier. Was going to buy a B&C for my Savage 16 but the 30% off was enough to make me change plans.

 

[whatsupdoc]

Just ordered a MDT chassis and stock went right through.

 

[OREGUN]

All I wanted was a PRS ckye pod for less than $400. Don’t care if it’s blemmed or a “second”. Stuck in ”add to cart” until they were gone. Such high hopes. Such let down. @MDT_OFFICIAL is either an evil genius or just a hapless genius. Alternatively makes or ruins my Thanksgiving every year.

 

[mrtoyz]

Tried for an HNT26 second as well. Was there then crash. Tried again crashed. UGH Had problems last year as well.

 

[Bradu]

Well, I’m in, then I lost it all….really wanted to see what the hype was about for a $500 bipod….guess I’ll continue with Accu-tacs. Ah well. Good luck to those who are still trying.

I wanted to try a cyke bipod too but I decided it wasn't worth the hassle after the site crashed

 

[BuildingConceptsllc]

Did we ever figure out when krg was doing a blem sale?

2:59 PST had one in my cart and go to check out and crash, get back on and can't get to cart, then crash over and over and finally get in to cart and check out and none in stock. Total screw job. Oh well.

 

[Ahogue]

So much for the hold in the cart oh well ill figure somthing else out
