There was a pretty long thread on Reddit recently where @stan_mephisto went through some of the website/tech upgrades that they’ve done to try to smooth this process out. Honestly, I don’t know what else they can do. The number of people trying to login simultaneously is insane for any site to manage, like a ddos attack every week (followed by a lot of nastiness (especially Reddit!) directed at the folks trying like hell to get us our seeds). It is frustrating, but at least they’re having releases more often so there are mo. I will say that what people don’t seem to realize is that “in your cart” doesn’t mean you “claimed” those packs. Because they limit how many orders are placed, ‘seeds in cart’ doesn’t mean your order will get in before the cutoff. Maybe that’s where some of the frustration comes from?

The shopping cart is causing a lot of frustrations and its something we have been working to fix for a few weeks now. We are testing out a few different shopping cart options, but they need extensive testing before going live on the site.

The frustration come from people being big babies. The same seeds can be bought from seed banks. Most merchants doesn't even sell direct, let alone allow cc/debit. The disconnect is not understanding the world of growing is getting bigger by the day. There is more demand than ever, and it's not slowing down with legalization happening. Reddit has been flooded with New Yorkers post new grow op pics.

I’m dating myself generationally, but “kids these days” were all brought up to believe THEY are special and THEY should never have to wait! :nono:

I knew Meph Monday’s would get that much more difficult with NY and others legalizing; hell, even supplies on Amazon are getting back ordered.

@stan_mephisto : the cart upgrades sound good - I hope you can get a system that works for all your sites. I’ve run a customer-facing business, and the bitchers can really take the fun out of it. I hope you and your crew can tune the nastiness out and know there are countless people who really appreciate not only your product but your effort to get it to us.

Stan said 10% of sales was NY. That's RIDICULOUS. Imagine the traffic to the website from there alone. I missed out on this drop, went for 7pk of PP, didn't get it. So I go and get some from a seed bank. Problem solved. This whole pitchfork thing, and people feeling entitled to freebies really kill my vibe on the Meph Reddit page. Long term it's only going to hurt everyone.

@stan_mephisto Good luck with the upgrades man, you're a better man than I am because I wouldn't be able to deal with it all every Monday.
 
Knew it would be tough, especially with the other four recent legalizations and NY on top of those, and more (YAY) on the way! Really did not mean to come off as entitled nor snarky, and if I did then I apologize. The process is not really different than trying to get tickets to a popular show or event. Also, if I didn't try to stuff six packs in my cart amid the endless loading at 10 Mountain Time I'd probably have ended up with a couple of packs.

So, tried the late shift with Supreme Seed Bank (thank you @stan_mephisto !!!), made a bit of a blunder, and am overjoyed to have had success!!!

Just checked, and as of "right now" there are still seed packs available at Supreme Seed Bank, with still a few different than offered directly, earlier.
