By 4:18pm, they were all gone.
It’s been said here over and over again — you just have to keep checking the website, again and again and again…”
“We literally checked the booking platform every 15 minutes, all day, all evening. It seemed there were no appointments available… then one magical day around 1:30 pm, there were time slots for two days only for the next month. We were fortunate to get two. Move quickly though…they all disappeared in less than 10 minutes.”
