What do you do when an item you were just about to purchase goes out of stock?

I was all set and ready to get a few things, fleshlight alien among them. I was eligible for 30% off, but now I'm not since the alien is out of stock. What would you do?

There might be something else you've had your eye on to get you back to the discount you wanted. Or, you could take the lower discount.

I'd send a support ticket asking when it'd be back in stock and most likely buy something else to make the discount.

I just order something else on my wish list. After I swear at the screen.

I really have to choice but to wait to use a smaller discount later. I've had this happen, and Eden can't have all things in stock all the time.

I usually swear, though.

No no no, you're doing it wrong. You're supposed to sink to your knees and scream your curses to the heavens.

If it was the one item at the top of your list, I'd probably wait it out.
It might return to stock before the promo expires.

This has only happened to me once or twice. But thankfully it was on items I had not really been crazy for. I was bummed out don't get me wrong, but I figured I would just get over it and wait till I could get them with another sale.

Have you set an alert to be notified when it is back in stock?

Forgot to mention that my last few orders I must have picked up the last item of about 5 different products because it immediately went out of stock after my order was accepted lol.

Yep, pretty much that.

I would curse, then submit a support ticket, and then if it doesn't come in, replace it with something else or take the lower discount.

Or if you find out who was responsible for buying the only one that was in stock, you can direct your hatred towards them. You know who I mean, Antipova!

I throw a little fit, pout for a few minutes... and then order the rest of the stuff anyway. LOL

I have a small tizzy fit and then find other good things to order.

This just happened to me. I really wanted to get Life by leaf. When I was ready to order it was out of stock. I waited a few days and it didn't come back. Then I saw the FOU by fun factory and decided I wanted that. I was worried it would sell out quickly so I went ahead and ordered. FOU is still in stock and Life is back in stock. I should have waited, but I ordered something else instead. Surely there will be another coupon someday! Does EF celebrate Mother's Day?

Haha, EF celebrates a ton of things and things that aren't holiday-related as well. There's always a discount or coupon floating around.

Just happened to me, so I swore. Guess I'll have to find something else to take its place.

Curse, and then go to the next item on my wishlist

Order with a lower discount, or just get something else instead of the out of stock item.

Wait it out until the sale ends Feb 10 and see what happens

I'd get really aggravated, then maybe see if there's anything else I want to make up for the difference so I can get the discount.

I sulk for the most part.

Then go find another item of equal or slightly higher value to get the highest discount. :B I did this time and got 50$ off my total.

sales come and go all the time. I wanted a fairy wand, but they are all out of stock. I just have to wait until they come back in stock and get it then.

I'm sorry about your luck buddy, hopefully it will be back in stock soon!

I hate it when that happens! There is always something else to order but that stinks when what you are really after is unavailable.
