The Internet sure is grinding to a halt.<br /><br />I used a Living Social deal to get $50 worth of merchandise at Brookstone for $25.<br /><br />I then used that to purchase a $164.25 storage bench at Brookstone (including tax and shipping).<br /><br />With a $99 purchase (by midnight EST) I am also supposed to be getting $20 in brookstone bucks through an email. No word on that yet.<br /><br />It took me many attempts to purchase the bench for our front hallway. The following was the theme of the day.<br /><br /><i>Oops!<br /><br />Due to unusually heavy site traffic, our site is performing slower than normal.<br /><br />Please feel free to contact us at 1-800-926-7000 or click here to go to our Amazon.com Brookstone storefront.<br /><br />We apologize for any inconvenience, but we should be back up and running soon.<br /><br />Happy shopping and best wishes for the holiday season!<br /><br />- Brookstone Customer Care</i><br /><br />I'm not complaining.
