Actually it was recently on a sunday at 6 in the morning or so I think. The time before that was Saturday at around 2 in the afternoon. And you don't HVAE to pay the 15 bucks. They say it will be cool since you get a ton of free stuff and get deals on items and advance things but you don't have to. I still haven't. That being said it is still cool hair. I don't want to try to say they are great but I have never had any problems with them and they have always been quick. Later
