I keep getting an error when I try to add anything to my cart, along with intermittent crashes of the entire website. Oh well, at the end of the day at least I'll save some money.

I definitely have two of each in my cart, but can't go any further. Anyone know how long they will remain in my cart?

Sensible thing to do would be offer an apology and reschedule the release.

"We sincerely apologize for the delays & issues people are experiencing w. this release. We did everything in our power to schedule this smoothly w. LCBO & the problems have become out of our control. The LCBO site has crashed & we have been told that LCBO IT department is working hard to fix the issue. Our agency has no power or control over the process of how beer is sold in Ontario & do our best to bring in good product. We are doing everything we can & are on standby w. LCBO."
