Growing Pains

*Update*
The cart system was updated and is doing a great job. The problem is with shoppers holding items in their carts and not checking out, so it is not releasing them back into inventory for an hour. I have changed this to 15 min so be assured that there are still plenty of pieces left and hope this makes things move smoother for all of you. thank you for the patience.
***********************************************

I can honestly say growing pains stink, my fortune cookie totally lied today. Yeah I cheated on my diet and indulged in some Panda Express, one of my favorites and now I remember why I don't eat like that anymore.

So the site is experiencing much too traffic to handle now and for some reason certain pieces are locked up. I still have plenty but it wont allow shoppers to put them in their carts. Please be assured that there are more pieces left and even the Charli tank dress too. Tech support is looking into it and checking for server issues. Nothing is ever easy is it?

So with this I can say that internet sales are most likely coming to an end after this release and we will be expanding our program to trunk shows to make everything a bit easier, or not, knock on wood.

Please please please do NOT go to a trunk show system!! That will make me NOT order! It is so much hassle and the reason I hate ordering from brands like Matilda Jane...too hard to get, too much work, shipping time is doubled etc etc PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not take away internet ordering!! I am sure ya'll can hammer out all the details ;)

I am so sorry Amy! I can only imagine how frustrating it is on your end...

Just an update to my earlier post...I was able to check out and get some goodies. It took 2 orders to get everything, but it went through :)

Hang in there momma!

I finally got the tranquil ruffles into my shopping cart. I'm very happy as these were on my must have list. I'm giving up on the Charli dress. I can't justify 3 shipping charges.

Just placed my order for some of your gorgeous designs! Yay!! I was unble to get the charlie tank in a 4t, but if that was an error and you have more, please let me know so I can place an order for that. Thanks for all of your hard work!!!

I'm sorry there have been issues with the shopping carts. I think you do an amazing job!. I second the poster that said to please not just go to trunk shows. I can't get any Matilda Jane since it is only sold via trunk shows. I'm so frustrated with how Matilda Jane sells and don't want to see that frustration towards you've line too.

Hang in there, you are doing great! Yes, growing pains, but sounds like your cart is doing exactly what you wanted to and that is fantastic news!
