Click Frenzy pulls in shoppers The online shopping bonanza Click Frenzy is under way for a second year, but not without a few glitches. Organiser Grant Arnott said the website had experienced over 381,000 clicks in the first hour. He is expecting 2 million shoppers to visit the website during the 24-hour sale and said before the sale began that the website was well prepared this year for heavy traffic. "This is a phenomenal figure," he said. Click Frenzy ... back for round two. Mr Arnott said it was the first time he had seen the site in its "full glory." This time last year the site had already crashed, leading many consumers to dub the website "clickfail." Some users have complained the site is not working this year, saying they could only see a timer that was set on "negative." "We're looking into that," Mr Arnott said. We're certainly investigating. Users who are experiencing difficulty are being advised to refresh their page. Click Frenzy has enlisted computing giant Amazon Web Services to host the sale, in which 300 retailers are taking part, including Myer, Big W, Peter Alexander, Bonds, Booktopia and The Iconic - up from 200 retailers last year. Discounts range from 15 to 20 per cent off electronic goods up to 80 to 90 per cent of fashion, sportswear, kitchen appliance and fragrances. Some of Australia's largest retailers do not want to miss out on the online opportunity, gate-crashing the event by holding rival sales of their own. The move has led to a war of words between the organiser of Click Frenzy and the founder of online electronics giant Kogan, who said Australia's answer to Cyber Monday should be open to all retailers and not "owned" by one central body. A handful of other retailers including QBD The Bookshop - which is hosting an online 'Book Frenzy' - went on sale at 7pm, just as the official event was getting under way. Meanwhile, department store David Jones launched its "Christmas Frenzy" sale on Tuesday morning and has taken the unusual step of opening all its stores until 9pm. The sale, which includes discounts of up to 40 per cent, is available to both online and in-store shoppers and will continue online until midnight.
