Thank you!

[sarasansh]

FYI if you go on Amazon daily deals and click on "upcoming", they at least have the 3am deals listed. I haven't clicked all the way through to see if they have more than that, but it's something! I already saw some good toys and baby gear on there.

I dunno...I'm kind of disappointed. I don't feel like there are really any good deals on things I would actually want/need.

[summergirl1211]

I'm somewhat overwhelmed. I didn't really expect much of what I wanted to be on sale, but I went to their home page and it's insane. Current deals, future deals, past deals, lightning deals, feature deals... AAAAHHHHH!

Yeah.  I think its kind of hard to keep up.  It doesn't look like anything is just on sale.  Different things go up per hour.  And the future deals seem to only show what is coming up in the next hour, so you basically have to constantly check back every hour.

I'm not fast enough. Already missed one deal on something I wanted to get Anna for Christmas. Try again at 11.

I ended up getting a kids kindle fire. I thought it was a decent deal plus I had rewards points so I paid minimally out of pocket.

Yup, me too. I'm doing my best not to buy something just because it's on sale but actually because it would be good to buy, but I keep missing out. I'm on the waitlist for a few toys so maybe something will come through.

Graco Nautilus goes on sale at 11am...here's hoping!

We don't need anything and my H actually threatened me today before I left for work. I've only bought one thing so far but he is going to kill me if I keep going...

Yeah, I'm trying to not buy anything since we'll be moving before the end of the year and it would just be one more thing to pack. But still... SALES!

I don't have prime, so I'm resisting to even look so I don't get jealous on what I'm missing out on.

I wouldn't worry too much. Most of what I have seen was kind of disappointing. The two things I have tried to buy so far were sold out the second they went on sale.  Literally. The. Second. I'm going to try one more time. If that doesn't work, I'm done with it.

Yep...it's so annoying.  And honestly probably for the best because I really don't need anything.

I looked around and it was kind of confusing. One thing I saw and posted in the J12 page for those looking for carseats I found in the "upcoming deals" and then after a few minutes I was looking at the actual page and it said it was 100% claimed. So not sure what happened there.

I was trying to pick up some stuff for Christmas. Guess not.

[laurski81]

jennmm, It's crazy...the site is so overloaded with traffic that it takes forever to refresh and even when I've clicked the "add to cart" button it would say that it is searching for the deal to only come back to say it is 100% claimed and I am like 500th on the wait list. Ridiculous. I think I am just giving up.

[jennmm]

I'm done, too. I have tried to buy 3 different items and that happened every time. It's not worth the trouble. Also, the price wasn't that much lower than regular so no great tragedy.

[laurski81]

It's totally necessary right?

I'm honestly surprised I don't already have this...

[pinkluna]

Women's/men's/kid's fashion is 30% off so I got the kids a new pair of sandals since they're already outgrowing their summer pair and we have like 3 more months of warm weather. I stacked an Amex offer ($15 instant bonus if you use your rewards - I had $3) and got two pairs of salt water sandals for $33 woohoo!

[bliz1712]

I just heard that Walmart is offering lots of sales to counter the Amazon sale as well.

[cbear]

Ya it's been a bust for me too! I literally clicked on the trunk of dress up dresses the second it was available(I watched the count down!) and I still didn't get it and was put on the wait list. Which I don't even know how to check! Lol

[junkytrunk]

Really makes you wonder how many of each item they had at that price, if they are gone within seconds.

Probably had 5 of each item.

I did the same thing and didn't even get on the wait list. I may still buy that trunk of dresses. The list price was only $9 more than the sale price and Anna would love that for Christmas.

Yes. I tried to get a few things this morning only to have them not be available and put on a wait list. I gave up. I mean why advertise a sale but only have 100 of that item on sale?

[sarasansh]

I think it's because thousands of people are all putting it in their cart at the same time. Keep the product page open for what you want and keep refreshing! I've gotten 4 things that said they were 100% claimed and had a full waitlist.

[origamimommy]

I think this was hyped AF to test their site capacity for holiday. Most retailers offer big sales this times of year for that reason. The deals sucked but they had the hype and drove traffic to the site, so I guess it's a win for them.

[sarasansh]

origamimommy Also it's a win for me, because I scored that stupid seahorse soother even though it said they were all claimed!
