  What happened to the QuickGrabs??  I had one in my cart, and went to check out and it was $14 instead of $1.99...

  QG changes at UTC midnight, 7 hours before Daz midnight in Utah. We don't know why.

  That is indeed odd, because the sales policy page states; "Sales events are based on the Mountain Time Zone."

  I filed a Ticket.

  That's what it says, but IIRC, it kept constantly changing instead at noon DAZ time... until it switched to changing at UTC midnight.  Draw from that what you will, but as most folks will have had a week to decide whether to purchase any of the FGs, I'd personally rather get it early than half a day late.

  It started changing Sunday UTC midnight to solve a problem where there would be no items from Daz midnight changeover until sometime Monday. This was after weeks of people asking for a fix, so we just shrugged and dealt with it. 

  QG isn't the only thing with a weird time. If you have a paid membership, it ends on the last day at whatever time you ordered it, instead of Daz midnight which it did for years.

  This isn't the only place where Midnight Mountain Time isn't always the cutoff time. The Premiere/Plus coupons page lists the next month coupons at UTC midnight on the last day of the prior month. I think it's mostly the web server isn't setup correctly. Because you can still use the prior month coupon in that window between midnights on the last day of the prior month.
