In my experience of buying other things online (e.g., tickets...) it at least holds what is in your cart for a while and sometimes even has a timer. I am a little annoyed about it and think it shouldn't be set up this way - you should at list be able to hold the item in your cart for a short time rather than race against others to get your details entered.
Hi Jay-Brew,

Thanks for your feedback. We will pass this along to squarespace who runs the commerce back end to our online shop. Unfortunately the check out process has limiting customization settings and is not like ticket master or other ticketing pages.

Cheers,
Or how about finding a vendor who will allow you to run your website like every other retailer on the planet, and allow you to purchase an item once it's in your cart. This situation has happened twice for me on your website and it's getting tiring.
Hi Nickelass,

Im sorry you are unhappy with our website and will certainly welcome any vendor suggestions. You can contact me directly: tomas@keep6imports.com. We feel squarespace fits the needs and volumes of what our company has to offer. If Keep6 out-grows squarespace commerce we will definitely explore alternatives. Aside from limited releases, most of our regular products can be purchased with no stock or check out issues. Of course, you can always try visiting Belgium but even in most shops 3F is a tough find, especially the Golden Blend.

Cheers,

If anyone doesn't want their full case of 3F and wants to share it with other BTers, I'll happily take 1 or 2 bottles.
Cheers!

How prompt was the release at 12pm?
I was on just after and it was unavailable. Still noted that it would become available at 12pm (even though it had passed).
Assumed I missed out.

It was very prompt. I think it was 11:59 on the clock on my computer.

Are you willing to part with any of your bottles?

Saw this tweet today. It's funny that this sold out in seconds, when it sat on Premier Gourmet's shelf for months! Quite a nice price break too compared to the $24.99 premier had it for! Would've been cool to grab a case, but work got in the way!

This Beer turds it up on shelves all over the States for around $25.
