Otherwise, it looks like a well thought out list of improvements based on the feedback teams provided, including initial login testing.

Everything else I'm very happy about, so overall good job.

Maybe I'm being a bit too positive today, but considering that we've been made aware of the ordering date a about a month and a half ahead of time, and will have a whole month to window shop, and be able to test our respective log-ins the week before FIRST Choice opens, it seems like any scheduling conflicts are pretty easy to work around.

I'm sure that there will be someone available for ~1hr on the 15th with internet access that can read through a pre-made list of parts and place the order. Yes, it could be a bit tricky if something sells out before you can order it, but I guess it's no different than a Pick-List, you plan for the worst and hope for the best?
