So, I checked out their outlet for a baby gift with matching big sister outfit. The site is operating lickety split, and (wait for it!) the code still works! Two complete outfits, shipped using their cool newborn gift wrap in a basket, all for $30. So, go back is what I'm sayin' here. Update:

I'm just frustrated that I didn't head to the mall because I did so well online, and now that's kaput. There will be more sales between now and next summer, though. :) Yes, I’ve had good luck with them, and gotten other great deals in the past.

I placed an order that day, too, and haven't gotten a cancellation (yet)? Generally I have pretty good luck with TCP. One time my order just vanished -- I never got a shipping notice and when I looked, it had disappeared from my history -- but other than that, no problems. I'm sorry that some of you have had such an unpleasant experience. :( Oy, what a nightmare. I placed an order that day, too, and haven’t gotten a cancellation (yet)?

And for that I get a shipping code worth $5? Unacceptable. I got the same message, and as I said above, it took me 2 hours to place the order as it is.

From where, do we think??? Can't beat it, and the stuff is so nice. that really is a very, very slooooooow web site — but what great bargains! 9 items for $40 shipped, even if they warn that shipping will be delayed due to “high volume.” From where, do we think???
