Bad Business? How about a unforseen error. I am sure Walmart would of rather made the sale instead of having the site crash and cost them millions of dollars of lost sales. You missed out on a DS and they missed out of Millions of dollars because of the company they hire to upkeep and maintain their website had an error or made a error. Anyway, I hope you found what you where looking for because I hate seeing people struggle to get their children that special gift. I have been killing my self to get my three nieces the hard to get fad gifts they want! :)

Actually the Walmart.com servers are down during the late hours for here in the east coast USA.
I am bit of a night owl myself and I like to look around at what walmart has to offer, but I get the
“Scheduled Maintenance” gig any late night hour I get on

I called friends at NBC.. it was not an overload.
I think its more of, get yur butts outta bed and shop and get crushed like the rest of the folks out here.
Sad part is, they took my credit card number, and instead of seeing confirmation..I got a website down for maintenance.
OH, they didnt charge me or confirm my purchase. But when I did log back on, my cart was still full with the items I wanted. Too friggen bad, they were now sold out.
BS. total BS.

Different year same story. I was in the middle of checking out my purchases at Walmart.Com and then it went down and I received the “Scheduled Maintenance” page. All I have to say is Bad Business.

I spent several hours fighting with that website on Friday. I finally had my cart loaded with almost $500 worth of merchandise, but the website would not allow me to check out. When I called the 800 number, the clerk stated that her system was “down” too, and she couldn’t even enter my order for me. Disgusted, I cancelled my entire order and spent those dollars elsewhere (amazon.com). Overall, it was NOT worth the aggravation. I just hope they don’t start screaming about a drop in profits this holiday season…

What do you expect? It’s a cheap company. Do you really think they are going to spend the bucks on the infrastructure. Walmart’s financial model now is to too as much as possible with as little as possible regardless of the consequences. What do you want, cheap prices and cheap stuff, or redundant servers?
