    arrghh, so what happens if you're at payment stage - card details in - when the white screen comes up and says server busy? retry? assume payment hasn't been taken??


    I waited and 'refreshed' a few times but went through - eventually

    thats fab msmoo

    I have managed to get on the site but finding it really slow to add to basket, by the time it does it will be too late no doubt. I ended up with nothing last year as well because of this
    I probably seem very overly excited to get 2 laser screwdrivers lol but my Ds adores Dr Who and the toys are so hard to get and break so easily!
    I hope you manage to get some stuff. :)

    Anyone got confirmation emails?

    No unsure if my order has gone through. have order number but no email and its not showing on paypal yet
  • I dont know if this will help anyone...

    Ive just woken up due to the exitcement of the sale, I first tried to access the website by my mobile phone, it worked was quite surprised to be honest

    So thought i would get the old laptop out just to browse the site, as i have plans to go to the store in the morning, and the main home page wont even load!

    so really just a headsup for anyone out their trying to get onto the site, and has access to internet on a mobile, give it a try! ;)

    I think I'm going delusional...my alarm goes off for work in 8 mins, and I've not been to bed yet...

    I'm supposed to be on a training run at 6.30am followed by a whole day teaching 28 Y5's.... Red Bull, Pro Plus, coffee- food!
  • I am another one who can't get past the check out page. I think I am going to give up and spend my money somewhere else. They have had a whole year to make sure they didn't get a repeat of last year. The site is really slow for me the rest of the year so I am not surprised to have problems at sale time again.

    Good luck everybody.

    Boots pulled the 75% sale last year due to the site crashing too much so if its going to keep crashing again they might do same.
