So you were ready the second the Labubu (Mac) dropped, had your payment set up, and still got hit with "Out of Stock" after clicking checkout? Same.
Popmart’s hype is outpacing their servers, and the result is a glitchy, frustrating checkout experience full of random errors:
"SKU does not exist" (Then why is it in my cart? 🤡)
"Currency error" (My money’s real, I promise.)
"Too popular, try later" (Wow, helpful.)
"Cannot calculate tax" (Math is hard, apparently.)
"No internet connection" (Meanwhile, Spotify’s bumping just fine.)
Why This Keeps Happening
Server overload – Too many F5 warriors crashing the system.
Bot protection gone wild – Legit users get flagged as suspicious.
Glitchy inventory sync – Cart ≠ reserved stock, so items vanish mid-checkout.
How to (Maybe) Improve Your Odds Next Time
1️⃣ Pre-load everything – Address, payment, and stay logged in.
2️⃣ Try switching networks – Some users swear turning off Wi-Fi (using mobile data) bypasses errors.
3️⃣ Log out + back in mid-drop – Sounds weird, but a few said it worked.
4️⃣ Use multiple devices – Phone + laptop + a prayer.
5️⃣ Accept the L (for now) – The hype will die down… eventually.
The Real Solution? Popmart Needs to Fix Their Tech
Until then, we’re all stuck in this digital Hunger Games—where errors are the real "limited edition."
Vent below: What’s the wildest error you’ve gotten? Any secret tricks that worked? Or are we all just coping until restocks? 🥲
(P.S. If you did score one, congrats—now go buy a lottery ticket.)
