yep

OK, I'll go with my original prediction of just after midnight PST tonight then. They haven't sent anything to us about a Thanksgiving Day sale which they've had the last 5+ years before the BF sale started, so that leads me to believe they are doing the BF sale Thursday and Friday this year.

shows in-stock again for me

Has anyone heard if WM is going online tonight or tomorrow night? They've always been a Thursday night store, but the few people at WM I've asked this week have been very cryptic...

Nothing yet. HD is based in EST time zone, so possibly midnight EST tonight. Also, Black Friday Savings! $5 Off $50 Or More! Use code BFHD2012 at checkout. 11/21 - 11/23

The Black Friday VIP Tote Bag offer is now available on www.bathandbodyworks.com http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=13130676&cp=4090263

Hopefully you guys are getting most or all of what you want. I'm getting a few hours of sleep now before the real fun comes tomorrow...

loading for me now. maybe it was a 45 minute deal to keep things from totally crashing. remember to use this link to help support GD: www.kohls.com

Looks like if you do the customer service "trick", you can view product pages, but not general category pages. So if you want to add more items to your cart (or are starting from an empty cart), you can find some individual items on our BF item listing: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/BlackFridaySales/Store/Kohls We also have a lot of category pages that might not load, but the item ones should.

Yes, the page is coded to automatically refresh. Again, if you have multiple browsers on your computer, open up at least one window in each and just let them sit and refresh on their own.

Depends how their system is set up. I'd recommend opening multiple windows in different browsers and keep them open. The page is coded to automatically refresh as needed, so you don't need to do it on your own.

Very interesting that they decided to do the waiting room process. Can't remember another major store doing that for BF in the past. Sites do it for tickets going on sale all the time, but it's a BF first for me.

The source code of the page indicates they are doing a "waiting room" type deal where they are probably letting some people in at a time, but not everyone at once.

They are probably making sure all the 20% codes don't work anymore...

I think this is why Kohl's is starting this a day earlier than everyone else. It's going to take them a full day to open the site back up

That's why I recommended somewhere in the thread to keep windows/tabs open for each product you want just in case your cart gets emptied. I think the carts will remain, but they might clear out the sessions in which case they won't.

Don't refresh your browser here on the forum either

Love the splash screen. "Please do NOT refresh your browser." haha. good luck with that, kohl's

Sleep would be great. Tonight I'll get some but the next 2 nights will be all-nighters. About 60 hours until I can finally relax

30 minutes left (hopefully). while we're waiting, no better time than now to support GD by going through this -> http://www.kohls.com or any other Kohl's link on the site so we get credit for your purchase tonight

Unless we can find a working free shipping no minimum code...

They tweeted that code yesterday (https://twitter.com/Kohls/statuses/270548133463859201) and said "today only", so no guarantees it'll work tonight, but worth a try.

Let me check.... yes, today is Tuesday. And yes, this will happen in a little under 6 hours.

That's the plan.
