#1. Correct. This is why you should try ordering on the website and over the phone at the same time to increase your changes.Originally Posted by Bryscooplaygrifhold
ladies and gents- I think its time to be honest here
#1. Being on the phone with Eastbay doesn't seem to guarantee any more success than trying online(Rep alluded to the fact that ph. operators may not have any quicker access to their system than the average joe)
#2. Eastbay seems to have very few pairs ( 1,2, maybe 3 at most of each size- that may be a stretch)
#3. This has truly become a "lottery" type program which means, if you are fortunate enough to get your pair, you were probably one of thousands of folks trying(maybe hundreds, but more than likely thousands)
If you got a timer that long for an extremely limited release, that usually means you are too far back in the virtual line and will not be getting the shoesOriginally Posted by WITNESSkb24

Once you are in the virtual line, your spot is saved, even if the timer moves up and down. We only allow so many people to check out at once. If they take a while to check out, the timer adjusts itself accordingly.Originally Posted by dRokDaSpot
Hey Eastbay Ray how are you going to defend and explain this mess with the "wait timer" this time?Originally Posted by 23MCpizzle23
me 2 smhOriginally Posted by gzagenius
had a min wait ... no go
I went from 1min 30sec. to 11mins wait time SMH
If you are referring to the timer going up and down, just look at my response above. If not, please supply more information.Originally Posted by Hanksta
Eastbay is such a FAIL as an online retailer. How can you not have a system where people don't get jerked around like this? It's 2011. They don't deserve anyone's business.
Please look above for an answer to why the timer changes.Originally Posted by dmxgod
Eastbay has officially lost a customer in the near future..
I know it is only a shoe, but the thing is the timer should keep the same time throughout the entire countdown..this system does not..how does a timer go up in minutes? Please explain this to me EastbayRep..it doesn't make any sense...
I use to work for Footlocker Inc..and I use to love buying from Eastbay to use my discount and whatnot but the system Eastbay runs is FAR from perfect..I can guarantee that 10 minutes prior to the shoe release of a product that is hyped that they are definitely selling them before midnight..there is no way all the reps should be tied up for 10 minutes+ before a launch time when they should getting people off the phone and NOT SELLING the product beforehand..
I know EastbayRep is gonna come in here and say that this does not happen, but it does..i have been able to order before midnight of a major launch before..
I did not realize that when I was letting everyone know that this launch was extremely limited that I was being a hyperbeast or hypebeast. Would you rather have me lying and say "Plenty to go around!" or "I have no information", instead of spitting the truth. I just do not get it.Originally Posted by smurfdavid
Yep EASTBAY sucks these idiot reps come here and make excuses all you are is HYPERBEAST i will never buy from EASTBAY again once you start losing customers then you will understand EASTBAY GO OUT OF BUSINESS ALREADY NOTHING BUT USESLESS PEOPLE THERE

<<== Crumples up Gold Club membership, wipes *%+ with it, flushes it down the toilet.....
OK - so what's the point of the countdown timer and having most of us good paying and loyal customers observe it- when in reality- you start taking orders prior to the countdown timer reaching ZERO???
NOT EASTBAY REP'S FAULT, BUT DEFINITELY AN ISSUE. ONE THAT SHOULD BE RESOLVED AND OR CLEARED UP. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. EVERYONE IN THE ONLINE OR PHONE LINE WORLD "SHOULD BE" ON AN EVEN PLAYING FIELD- I THINK
Again, no phone agents should be placing orders for the shoes until 12 AM EST.Originally Posted by Bryscooplaygrifhold
Waiting for some Jag to start posting how "I got 3, free shipping, 20 % using gift cards"- easy cop.
Right- There were probably less than 50 pair total. Would love to get a tally from all those legit NT'ers who actually get a pair from Eastbay.
VERY SIMPLE EASTBAY- Drop them at 11 CST- no phone orders, no LAME %$# TIMER, 1st come, 1st serve in the virtual world known as the world wide web.
Any employee caught buying release shoes while working would be fired. We do not tolerate this.Originally Posted by KenJi714
Eastbay is corrupted. I have a feeling their employees bought all the good sizes and only put like 2 pairs for each size up for sale.
Hmm, I have not heard about this. I will pass your comments on to the appropriate personal to look into this.Originally Posted by ArSONist21
I actually got lucky this time around but eastbay really needs to fix their whole countdown system pronto...My countdown timer was really early for some reason and when it ran out and I tried to add my size to cart it would not let me until the 4th try...I then got a checkout timer of 1 min 40 sec...I got to the final checkout screen but kept getting a high traffic pop-up and kept having to TRY AGAIN and then it kicked me back to the initial checkout page like 5 times until I got a brand new countdown timer of 4 min 30 sec...I finally got to checkout after that.

Now if I can figure out the avt's, sigs, etc I'll be doing something. Old guy that LOVES shoes.
