Yes I did and I think you need to read that again. Post 98 did not say that they purchased while the banner was showing, only that they purchased "the other day" (not sure exactly what other day that refers to but I'm assuming it was before the banner went up) and that it "shipped out already - despite their headline message of a card shortage."

I myself purchased a few cards earlier in the day on 1/3 and my cards also shipped a couple of days later despite that banner being up as well. There's a difference between actually getting an order through while that banner was showing vs placing the order shortly prior and then having it shipped after the banner went up.

Since the banner went up I've also been trying to purchase more cards for additional Biz plats and have been checking several times a day and was not yet even once successful in being able to buy any and also did not feel the need to post that here since the reason I'm unable to purchase has already been reported and is also very clearly stated on the site banner.
