There is a flash sale advertised for today, but I am not able to see it. The full text says:

*********
Temporal Anomalies have opened a hole to an alternate universe, one with a fantastic sale, Captains. But this Flash Sale will only be available for a limited time – from 10am-6pm PST today only, on all three platforms. Hurry and grab yourself some items at a one of our largest discounts ever, before the portal shuts and it’s all lost.

Today’s Flash Sale is:

30% OFF EVERYTHING IN THE "DUTY OFFICERS" AND "PERSONNEL" TABS IN THE C-STORE!

Don’t wait! The Flash Sale Anomaly can be gone before you know it!

***********
Currently it is 12:19 PM PST according to google on July 9.
It does not appear in my C-Store and I asked in zone chat others said they were unable to see it also. I've been checking for awhile and have logged in/ logged out a bunch of times hoping that would fix it.

Any insight on this?
Thanks.

    I'm not able to see it either, and the sale should have started about 2-3ish hours ago (EDT here as well).

    I get somewhat annoyed when they do these timed sales (that don't go over a period of days) because some of us work and just can't sign into the game during those periods, but we all love sales. Best Buy does the same thing, and it drives me nuts. I'll get an email saying there's a sale that is only going to last the next three hours, and I realize I hadn't checked my mail in over six hours due to life, which means the sale came and went without me ever even know it was taking place.

    I'm new to the STO community (coming here from NWO). It's weird how different it is. If this happened in NW the devs would be all over social media with an explanation and solution. Does this sort of thing happen a lot with this game? Like will this Flash sale just blow by without PC players being able to take advantage of it? Or will it get extended or at least fixed eventually?

    EDIT: Why does this thread have the "Answered" tag? Have they addressed this somewhere?

    So they are back to doing the unfairly timed flash sales and its broken on top of that. Do they not learn. Its like they do not want our money.

    I checked at about 3:30 PM EDT and nothing showed as being on sale.

    What a surprise yet again no sale when I go to bed and by the time I get up its over. Why do the devs do that and skip out a large portion of the player base?

    Why in the world have they u-turned on the 24hour period for flash sales?

    Was it really too much like a good idea for them to cope with?

    Back to boycotting the store for me then!
