Every time I hit order, it gives me more notifications that stuff is no longer available or quantities had changed. Lost out on most everything of significant value...

Finally got the order to process 12 minutes after noon.

Well that was a waste of 15 minutes of my life. By the time stuff finally got to my cart not much was left. After I updated my cart, even less left. I'm not spending money to ship a handful of stuff I could get locally for the equal price. I sure hope they get this FIRST Choice thing figured out before the time we really need it in January!

Started with 8 different items and every time I waited for shipping calculation items dropped out...so a shipping recalculation was required and guess what?...more items dropped out. Eventually not ONE item was available:mad: Last time I ever go through this frustrating process (odds are better here in Vegas!)

None of the stuff was really worth the shipping cost IMO, except for maybe the photoswitches.

I was able to get most of the stuff in my cart. Had a hard time remembering my password, and by the time I did, the photo sensors were gone.

Other than that, have the form queued up and ready to go, starting at exactly 9am seemed to work.

I was hoping for a 550 or two, a laser range finder and a photo switch. All good values.

We got nothing, but I can't be too bummed; there wasn't an expectation or guarantee that we'd get anything.

I share everyone's experience with items in cart not in stock > adjust shipping > fail > page load error > repeat.

I'm still grateful that they offered us this opportunity. Some teams got a good deal and that will help them out in the future.

from some reason andymark's website decided to give me random quantities of the items I added so I had to cancel and start over. The only thing I got and I wanted was the window motors.... I think there were about 10 or less per item...

Got a 2 FP gearboxes and 2 lazy susans. We're a younger team so we don't have a ton of FP gearboxes and it's always nice to re-purpose those plastic gears if the application is right. Cost like 11 bucks to ship, pretty awesome. Thanks AndyMark!

Let me know if you need more. I can check for what we haven't thrown out (we cleared about 10 years of excess inventory out).

I knew this would be rough, but I'd hope that stuff that made it into the cart would either get all the way through checkout OR the errors wouldn't trip more lost items.

In addition to losing items, recalculating shipping, losing more items, (repeat), I had it tell me my customer ID was not valid once; by the next repeat, at which point I had lost most items, I was good to go again. I also had "randomly" assigned quantities, which appeared to be based somewhat on my original selection, but reshuffled with the lost items.

I share the same experience...infinite loop of recalc shipping and finally with two items in the card, submitted payment and bam! there it was recalculating qty and nothing was left!
