    Yes, after you place your order, but before you pay. You'll get a screen with your mystery box, and then after you open it, your mystery prize will be applied to your order. :)

    double bw - invoice # 4680632

    the credit card gateway took longer than the entire deploy phase at vultr. it must be running some deeplearn AI anti-fraud protection. either that or WHMCS just sucks with deployments lol

    Hi @doghouch -- Thank You for placing another order with RackNerd! We've gone ahead and doubled your bandwidth for your latest order 👊

    Even when we do upgrade though, when we introduce the Chef (our flash sales in the past), WHMCS struggles to keep up regardless of how much resources you throw at it. WHMCS by design as a PHP and MySQL application simply isn't meant to handle a large amount of simultaneous inbound orders (we're talking at least a few dozen inbound orders happening in the same exact minute when we introduce the Chef), especially when a provider of our size is utilizing the platform for bulk provisioning.

    I completely forgot about traffic load - WHMCS sure is one clunky pile of trash.

    We've learned WHMCS' flaws over years of experience and do our best to work around them, including the implementation of custom provisioning scripts, hooks and more. So while it is not perfect, it gets the job done and at least we're able to keep it online and usable - we just ask for you guys to bear with us on any slight delays you may or may not face when navigating our site throughout this busy season, as a result of the large number of incoming order activity. :)

    Totally fair! I'm a fan of having something as an intermediary (i.e. NameCheap has a "processing payment..." and other loading statuses). Makes the user happier because you don't risk having them time out -- it's a bummer that the closed-source nature of WHMCS makes said changes very difficult.

    It doesn't surprise that so many providers on LET have gone fully custom. Having to contend with "simply isn't meant to handle a large amount of simultaneous inbound orders" is a bullsh*t for such a popular billing platform.

    [I'm sure providers would die to have most of WHMCS' order processing moved to an async + parallelized queue lol]

    Edit: #RACKNERD-STICKERS-FOR-DENELLUM (save their bare laptop cover!).

    Hi @doghouch -- appreciate the understanding :)

    We do have custom hooks in place to help with improving the order processing flow to better handle simultaneous incoming orders, though as you mentioned, it can only help so much due to the closed source nature of WHMCS. Some of our team members here joke internally that with the amount of customizations we have made to simply 'work around' some of WHMCS' workflows and flaws to better handle our use case, we may as well build out our own custom billing system from the ground up one day :) It's definitely an idea worth exploring at some point, hehe.

    @opendoor said:
    why not deploy a hk/jp location?

    Hi @opendoor -- Both of these locations are good options, and ones we can consider! But what we've been focused on is current locations, and maintaining inventory where we currently deploy. It's been challenging, as we see tons of demand and we're working extra hard to keep up, so we find ourselves selling out locations and working over time replenishing -- it's a good fight to be fighting :) We'll continue our expansion efforts though, that's for sure.

    @Astro said:
    @dustinc it keeps saying swipe to open mysterybox but is showing me the regular price only. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Where do I find the mystery box?

    Hi @Astro -- our Black Friday landing page does indeed have a mystery box theme and feel to it - though to reveal your actual mystery box, at the last step of the checkout process, after you click on the "Complete Order" button, you will be directed to unlock your mystery box. From there, click on the box, and you will instantly reveal how much credit you've won.

    Here's a video demonstration:

    Will there be flash sales on Black Friday?

    Hi @colla -- at this time, we do not have any planned. Though, we're currently evaluating if there is demand to bring the chef back (same chef as last year).

    Looking forword to it!

    @shelfchair -- definitely looking like something worth further looking into :) We will keep this in mind for when we look to expand our KVM VPS product line to additional datacenter locations, outside of the ones we already have.

    Thank You for joining our Black Friday thread.
