Re: BeanBay GREEN sale - Saturday 17th Jan 2009
As Flynn and Greg said, BeanBay GREEN starts at the same time everywhere, I spend the time doing the daylight saving conversions to make it easy for everyone... well that was the theory anyway.
:
Test it first. Go to http://beanaby.coffeesnobs.com.au and see if you can select something and get to the checkout. As long as you dont press the [Confirm Order] button you can back-out and remove the item from your basket.
I have no idea if it works on a phone, it should but I dont know.
In fact, it might be worth everyone testing they can get into BeanBay ok to make sure that all the software changes this week dont give you (and then me) grief at 16:01 tomorrow.
For sure wired.
The beans that we could source a lot of are normally still available for a day or so but always there is a bean that goes in a couple of minutes. We cannot pick which one it is but we do go pretty close with the quantities.
Yes and we will do that more this year. Often we get a single bag of something special from one of the brokers and will put that up after BeanBay. Last month we bought a pile of the previous months beans to "fill the gap" between the sales too.
I hope to always have one or two varieties in BeanBay for those that run-out of beans but to keep prices this low and to ship to the pickup points cheaply we need to release BeanBay beans in bulk once a month so we can have just one week of insanity.
8-)
Saturday afternoon is a weird time for BeanBay too, we try and have it mid month on a Tuesday or Wednesday night but we have had to wait for some of the small brokers to come back from their summer-snooze and the date slid. If we held off to next week then we will have trouble getting the beans packed and freighted into the pickup points at the end of the month so Saturday it is!
