Initially it provided a white screen until the error message came up (this was valid for European 6am - 10am roughly) The entire app didn’t load, nothing! It recovered and some connectivity was available before lunch time and at least the app loaded, you could log in with your account credentials and see previous orders.
However, the images and banners were either not loading or very slow on my end! And there was no way you could actually access the “app only” offers without seeing/clicking on the banners for 9/9.
I tried this with 4G, on WiFi and even iPhone tethering…
At least later in the day you could add mobile items into your cart and check out on the web since mobile paypal wasn’t loading either!
I think the BG team put in a lot of effort to pull this off, the prices were mostly attractive and the ideas they came up with were innovative. Yes, some stuff should have been more reasonable (lucky wheel) or logical (in the year 2015 the server performance should be more manageable) - but overall it was really fun going through all the items you may need in the garage or garden and just buy it at a fair price.
Generally speaking, it would be really interesting to know how many customers hit banggood yesterday, what the most popular items were and all the little other details they won’t tell us
I worked out late how best to win one of those snap offers but even then it was very hard. I had paypal logged ini prior to the snap time being reached. I won one item which was a bag for my wife. for many of the items on offer the links would not work for me as the “rush to buy buy” showed me as logged out. only some items were ok. I dont know why. In any case it was a very popular selling day for Banggood jusging by the many listed purchases people made where they would receive their money back. Did anyone get a free purchase?
