FRC Blogged-FIRST Chocie-Liquidation

[JB987]

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 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 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 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 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.

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 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!

Nope, not even a rock.

Nope, I didn't want to pay shipping costs.

You mean the 2014 FRC game piece? I got 3.

Is it wrong of me to say that I'm glad to hear even the most competitive of you had trouble getting the goods? I totally missed the opening time. Some of us have actual jobs during the day that we can't get away from...

Anyhow, I seem to have ordered 4 of the 3-outlet power cords. We'll see if it goes through.

We managed to get quite a bit, they cut down on some of the quantities though. We also didnt manage to get any photoswitches.
