Sheeze.... dont you just HATE when you miss an obvious typo in the very first line of a 1200+ person email.

I think it is really cool how the beans shift around when you resize the browser window. Very neat.

By the way the site works fine in safari on macosx if you are interested in browser compatibility.

Boy I should not have gone to work today. Would have loved some Harrar but have setteled for some Mandelang. Its tough but I will survive. The order was very easy after I figured out that my shipping address was on the wrong line. Needs to validate that the first line has something in I guess.

Re: August Polls - Feedback Here Please.

BeanBay beats ebay!
An excellent ecommerce experience, as I was only looking ...then bought some of the Peru beans.
I did have an anomaly with the background colour having the same colour as the text in the fields used for the member/ delivery details. This wasnt a problem for me, as I reviewed the typed text by highlighting the row.

Re: August Polls - Feedback Here Please.

Does that mean that ALL that coffee was sold within six hours of release?

Im glad to get my payment off but I would have liked to try the decaf :-[

Nextime Im gonna chuck a sicky just to make sure I get on! 8-)

Thanks a billion Andy, You Rock!

Re: August Polls - Feedback Here Please.

It is pretty impressive and easy to use...
I was just browsing without any intention of buying this month, but I ended up adding another 12.5kg to my ever growing stash :-)

Thanks Andy!

Re: August Polls - Feedback Here Please.

Very, very good.

Makes buying easier. Is a real pleasure to use.

As a couple of people have noted, the only problem is that the beans just walk out the door. But even that has a good side - more home roasters seem to be about these days.

Re: August Polls - Feedback Here Please.

Brilliant, Andy - just great! Well done, and thanks for all of your hard work.

Your choice of Mandheling was awesome at the beginning of the year, so Im looking forward to this lot!

Re: August Polls - Feedback Here Please.

I also have never ordered from the polls before. I must say, though, that the process is very easy, quick and simple to use. Gee, the beans are dissapearing quick, too!

Re: August Polls - Feedback Here Please.

Thanks for the feedback CS’rs.

Its great to see that most of you had little or no trouble adapting to the new system and that the “flow” was intuitive and easy.

There were a few mentions of the decaf, we will poll another “unleaded coffee” (decaf) in early September along with some other interesting beans we have in the pipeline.

The good thing about selling lots of beans quickly is that opens the door for more choice and larger volumes next month and with this fantastic BeanBay we can schedule the release of beans for a specific date/time so everyone can have a fairer crack at them knowing exactly when they will go up (well a few days notice anyway).

I’m really looking forward to the rest of the process so we can see just how smooth this can run, so far so good GREAT! 8-)

Re: August Polls - Feedback Here Please.

Nice work Andy and crew.

Can you see a time when there will be semi-permanent beans that will always be available, kind of staples?
Or would carrying the required quantity of beans be prohibited by cost? Im not sure how many thousands of dollars you would be willing to have tied up in bean stocks... :-?

Re: August Polls - Feedback Here Please.

Good one Andy - this is an ace system you have developed. Im with Framey on the supply front, having been away for 2 days, ive missed the polls  , so it would be great to have rolling access to green beans. Maybe CSers can have some kind of futures investment to enable greater stocks on hand - or even pre order to make it easier for you to stock up for poll time? Thanks for the obvious work and thought you have put into this Polly
