Carting and clicking checkout on mondo reserves your item. On this website, it is not reserved when you head into the first stage of checkout. It isn't reserved until your CC payment goes through apparently.

Isnt that exactly what it means, the ability to put it in your cart does not guarantee anything - at any point.YellowBedwetter wrote:no, in theory, you shouldn't be able to cart something that's sold out if carting said item doesn't guarantee purchase. that doesn't make sense, logically.MrSubjective wrote:Just cause you missed out, the system is drymounted? lolYellowBedwetter wrote: regardless, the system is drymounted

On Mondo, yes. Not sure about the accuracy of this statement on Bottleneck, which is what some seem to be upset about.whiskaz wrote:Carting on shopify does not lock the item but carting and heading to the first stage of checkout does.

yes, but then why are people able to score posters that initially say "sold out" a minute later?mademehmmm wrote:Isnt that exactly what it means, the ability to put it in your cart does no guarantee anything - at any point.YellowBedwetter wrote:no, in theory, you shouldn't be able to cart something that's sold out if carting said item doesn't guarantee purchase. that doesn't make sense, logically.MrSubjective wrote:Just cause you missed out, the system is drymounted? lolYellowBedwetter wrote: regardless, the system is drymounted

I'm sure that bottleneck has their reasons for doing it this way and I know that there is no perfect system for a drop... but this system just seems especially inefficient (if that's the right word). i don't have a bot or the brains/ability to use one lol so i need to continuously keep re-typing my entire shipping info/payment info only to find that it's sold out...right after fighting to get it into my cart to begin with. part of me was really scared that my credit card was gonna be charged like 100 times... it just seems like you're handing it to the bots whereas i might've had a shot if it was just a race to put it in your cart and then you had a few minutes to enter shipping/payment info (and why not limit the number that you can add to your cart to a smaller number like 1 or 2?)
ok but that's really the end of my rant.

What system do people think is any better or immune to bots? If you are still filling in your shipping/billing info. manually, I don't think you have much of a shot at anything. This bot talk is out of control, I doubt that many people even used one for this drop.

So, people who need to fill out their info manually should just give up? Maybe i'm misunderstanding what a bot is, but if you have a program that fills out your info automatically... what exactly is the difference between that and a bot?
Sometimes when I click field, it will give me recent options to auto-fill, but just as often, the wrong info gets put in the wrong field. This was also the first time I ever even made it to the checkout page on this site, so I think next time my shipping info will be stored in my account... but still need to type in CC info...
Good luck to you sir.

not that i'm a fan of captchas, but i would probably support mondo's system with a captcha when you click checkout. basically just a race to click the add to cart button then the checkout button, then type the captcha and you now have 5 minutes to type your info in. the bot can do the first 2 clicks for you, but really that wouldn't save much time.
my $.02 I feel the artist should make a printable document that us collectors need to fill out and mail in by a certain day. The said artist then will conduct a drawing and mail the postcard back to the winners with payment information. After the winners receive the postcard they mail in a cheque the artists waits for cheque to clear and then mails out the print. Smooth as silk
Yea, a little baffled by that since both use Shopify... I'll have to look into it.matowest wrote:On Mondo, yes.

If you use Chrome you can edit your autofill settings (and delete outdated addresses and the like) from your settings menu. It also typically recognizes address "forms" and autofills them the first time.Whitey9457 wrote:Kramerica wrote:What system do people think is any better or immune to bots?

I'm sure you can figure out a way to not have to type in your credit card info, at least not the number itself.
Even that said, you're still gonna miss sometimes on drops with hundreds of people trying for sub-100 print runs. Try not to let it ruin your day is all I can say.
Pretty sure with all shopify once you get past the inventory page you're all good to go. Now that times limited but I was able to cart and ask a member here if he needed the foil and entered all there info in the time being.whiskaz wrote:Yea, a little baffled by that since both use Shopify...

Same fudge, different drop.
