Spyderco Forums

Some *design flaws* become apparent only when the system is hammered beyond its capacity. Typical of software systems.

I was finally able to get in my order by a trick - I changed the state from CA to C, and it went through fine. Might be opportunity window opening at that time, but I got it in finally. And then I shot an email to sfo@ for correcting that C to CA. :)

Ordered my first forum knife. Feeling great!

They're good people. The phones were ringing off the hook there and everyone was working hard to handle the requests.

I'm ready for the "I hate you" responses.

So you just walked in and purchased that? Wow, that would be cool. Did you have to pay sales tax? LOL

I just kept hitting refresh and it put me through in like 5 minutes

I don't doubt the took care of him

I had to re-enter the code every time I refreshed...
It did take it once the error cleared.

Yes on both Sales Tax and the Forum Code. The SFO people are great and take good care of all of us. It's sometimes easy to forget that Spyderco is still just a pretty small company and there are a handful of people that make the SFO work.

Mine finally went through. Now the waiting game begins.

How do you check the quantities remaining?

I might have to take off from work early and make a trip up to the SFO. Bring these wonderful individuals trying to help us junkies out as best as possible given the circumstances some beer and treats!

I'd chip in to buy them all a beer!

Found the quantities remaining info. Right now its saying:

We have 15 Native5 Green G-10 Forum 2013(s) in our inventory. You may only order 15.

That's not a bad idea FW.

As Taz said in the sticky, they don't load the entire inventory into the website site. So that might not be a true indication of how many are really left.

Two left ! Using the add to cart method

Took the plunge, bad forum! :D

Would have to make sure bringing them some beer was OK with the man himself first. Don't want to get anyone in trouble or risk not being allowed into the SFO ever again!

TOOK 54 Minutes. LOL LOL

Phew. I was dying, reading your posts! :)

I was ordering in the dark from my phone, stupid u-verse decided to go out this morning. My order went through with no problem.
