Buying mint products via the internet has become so popular and increased so quickly and such huge numbers - that the mint&#039;s web site is overwhelmed. It just can&#039;t handle the traffic. Yeah I know - they should increase the capability. And they did - but they didn&#039;t increase it enough. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve seen this happen before in many places. I watched it happen in the &#039;90s with the stock market - in the late &#039;90s with eBay and Amazon. Even Microsoft had their web site overwhelmed on a daily basis at one point. But they all learned how to deal with it - it just takes a while. Building infrastructure to handle several million hits in a short period of time is not an easy task. </p><p><br /></p><p>So what can you do about it now ? Probably not much. Just about everybody already knows to try and access the sites at non peak hours. But you can still give it a shot - it may work. But you can always revert back to old fashioned ways like the telephone - or ordering by mail&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; did I just say that out loud ?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
