[ttldomination]

Mmmmm, First Choice day. I can already taste the latency.

Everyone got your pages cached?

Also note the new rule stating that all items in your cart for over an hour will be dropped. Good luck to everyone today and I hope that 3 is the magical number this year.

One can hope

What is the approximate shipping cost for an average order of lots of small to medium parts (motors, screwdriver kits, solenoids, lazy susans, couplers, etc.) ? This is my first year as a coach. I have to put out the money up front and get reimbursed, so I'm worried about how much it might come to.

In past years it's been the AndyMark shipping costs so around $10

[DonRotolo]

Maybe $20 if you get a lot of heavy stuff. Shipping - especially ground shipping - is quite reasonable. Overnight is a different $tory!

OK, about 1 hour to go. Guess I'll go log in soon.

Logged in now, pages are loading fast! Even on 4G hours away from civilization in the middle of the desert!

T-14 minutes. Here's to hoping we don't DDoS the site this time.

[Avrum Goldman]

If we delay any more, this will merge with the next batch of points!

Its a shame, because we were doing exercises over the holidays and were hoping to use these parts.

[Ken Streeter]

Well, with about 10 minutes to go until opening, the site is still lightning-fast -- during previous "takes" the site was already lagging significantly by this time.

Looks great so far!

T-5 minutes. The website is running faster than ever. Great work, Andymark team!

+1. But the proof is in the pudding. We'll see what happens in 2 minutes.

Thanks, this is kind, but let's wait until it's T+15 or T+30 before we start celebrating.
