Keeps processing, but nothing is happening.

I'm starting to think this is worse than not getting through to the confirmation page at all.

It says Order Processing...

but "You can stick around to make sure your order goes through, or just leave and check your account page later. If sale's listed there, it means everything went fine. If it's not, it means your order got denied."

Do ya really have to wait?

You mean

I will also share in the sadness and confusion. The first time I went through the order I received a confirmation page that immediately switched to a denial page. Several additional attempts yield the frozen processing order page. I'm still going for my first bag Woot! after almost 5 years of trying, don't let me down now!

Looks like the order from cabbageleafhead crashed it. Maybe some will get luck and if the server had a line fromthen it will complete those orders. WHo knows. If only they used the same Amazon servers that universities rent. That's some processing power.

Guess there are not enough people on for the extra boxes of crap....strange to see it stay up for so long.

Come on, Woot!, I need to order Chinese food.

Finally snagged one!

Weird..as we speak I'm sitting on the "we got your order hang on a sec" screen. Weird because I got no server errors or slowness. I just sailed right through. Weird. We'll see if I actually get it.

edit: "Your order was not placed". Woot, I think you're effing up on a grander scale than usual right now. Seeing as it still says you have some...

We're all stalled. I'm expecting a denial, but haven't received it yet.

How will I knoooww that you really love me.

This song is stuck in my head.

Drat. Still hoping to get one one of these days.

Been using woot FOREVER, and never once got a shot at the Banjo of Consternation.

Ah well, atleast I got to FEEL like I got one this time. It felt good looking at that confirmation screen thinking I won for a minute. lol.

At least the servers didn't crash and you can at least checkout. I actually like being able to checkout even if I end up getting denied like I did so be it.

oooookaaaay. What Tiny Flowers? I click on the big gold button and all that happens is the page reloads with "you've been banned" in tiny red type at the top? What does that mean "you've been banned"??? What did I do? If it means, "we've sold out" could it just say that? If it means "you aren't allowed to buy this despite having never ever ever gotten a Bunnies Ogling Carrots before" then I think I'm done with woot.

Man, this is infuriating. I was here for all three Bunnies Ogling Carrots, and clicked the button within 30 seconds each time. I'm 0 for 3.

I've tried now for at least a dozen bags of crap, and haven't been able to get one once. Is there something I'm just missing here? Something I'm doing fundamentally wrong? I've tried it with cash in my PayPal account, from a credit card, I can't figure it out.

Denied by credit card (http://www.smugmug.com/photos/i-M6xH5gJ/0/L/i-M6xH5gJ-L.jpg)

and tried paypal, but those just sit there not updating.

I've got about 15 screens that say:

your order is processing.
should just be a bit now...

And, they have for about 10 minutes!

So, hopefully one of them will work

(goes out to try some more)

Oh, it is just you. Trust me.

Stalled, tried three times. We'll see! Fingers crossed!

CURSES! Denied! Trying again. I'd love to get my first Bunnies Ogling Carrots tonight.

This is worse than the time I was first in line at the Apple store on release day only to find out my ten $100 bills were counterfeit.

Too many screw ups of late.. woot has jumped the amazon shark,,

I've placed a Bunnies Ogling Carrots order like TEN times now. And all fail on the final confirm screen. Order is "in" but it seems it's NOT in. Ridiculous.

And now the Bunnies Ogling Carrots has been stuck at 40% for the past ten minutes.

Come on Woot. It's NOT even fun any more.

I think I'll take my $8 and go order a pizza.

THIS. Wooter for nearly 5 years also, and never a Bunnies Ogling Carrots.. *is sad*

what the crap? all I get is this:


Order status
your order is processing.
should just be a bit now...
What's going on here?

We got your order. Hang on a second while we check our inventory to make sure we have enough stuff available to fill your order.

You can stick around to make sure your order goes through, or just leave and check your account page later. If sale's listed there, it means everything went fine. If it's not, it means your order got denied.

Click here to manually refresh the page.


And then I get that my order is not in.

Its been like 10 times already.

I think i have 72 coming to me! I just keep ordering them! I can't stop!

Don't worry, because that's exactly the problem.

Woot's servers aren't able to talk to their payment processor. They try for a few minutes ("your order is processing") then give up when they fail to connect ("order denied").

I used 3 different cards with online banking that show authorizations immediately, and none of them got an authorization, so there was no attempt to charge the cards made.

I guess the positive way to look at it is if I've got the count correct, 3 opportunities for the bag in a day. Someone earlier said an April Fools' day once gave out 4 opportunities for bags.

C'Mon Woot.. I've bought less and less stuff lately as a result of crappy items and Bunnies Ogling Carrots withdrawl...

Kind of like Prom Night...

Processing page is my new rival Grrrrr

Next item please, I want to use the Woot coupon I got and then stop worrying about Woot.

All of the changes are becoming to much to deal with, but for an eCommerce site to fail this many orders for this many customers pretty much is the end of the line.

I could accept the server crashing, but to deny the order multiple times... not so much. Your changing and good for you, but your killing off the reasons I came here in the first place.

NEXT...

If you can see this our servers haven't crashed. Think again.

Third time

3 Bunnies Ogling Carrots today and I have gotten to the "stupidly large button" and clicked buy it each time...only to have my little heart broken each of the 3 times...YOUR ORDER IS DENIED!!! WOOT, that is just CRUEL!!!

:-P

5 tries all fails after big button

Clicked 'Buy It' button in chrome endlessly (after getting homepage back each time).

Launched Firefox and got a little further.

Launched IE and did about as well as firefox.

Firefox eventually said Not in, so I checked my paypal account. It has a balance so many something else happened.

Main page still shows some available.

Went in and used a valid credit-card this time.
Still no luck.

Lets hope it really is sold out and that I didnt just get 18 bags of crap.

Way to crush my hopes and dreams Woot! I have been trying for a Bunnies Ogling Carrots for years now and I thought I actually got one this time. Maybe next time...

Die woot servers die!..
No but really, give me a Bunnies Ogling Carrots please.

I see what you you are doing woot, but it's only frustrating people...

This is an interesting change in disappointments.
