i do find the delivery of such sales emailings to arrive too late as well. issues regarding which emails servers one may be using have come up quite oft, with Google as standing as the most apparent, or obvious, culprit. not sure i'm willing to buy into that whole stance as i do receive all other types of mailings from this site just fine, and in a timely fashion - for example, if i purchased a thing right now, as i am typing this, i know that i'll receive a notice to my email confirming the purchase, even before, p'raps, the site itself has turned a pending download into an actual download for me.

it does get tiresome to receive sales notices that have come and gone all before i'm even aware of their existence at all. i'm all for a good tease, mind, but there does come a point whenst that turns to only frustration, yea? eventually, all sales notices will, or could, be viewed akin to the 'boy that cried wolf', so they aren't opened or considered at all, but merely dumped without viewing because one becomes accustomed to the pointlessness of the endeavour... ie. Rendo is essentially training me, in the long run, to just simply ignore them... shrug...

Yup. I think they'd be better off not emailing stuff out unless the sale was scheduled for at least a week to avoid such problems, or even making it so the email would go out a week ahead of the scheduled date of the sale. Not everyone checks their email regularly and it just has too much of a negative impact on your customer base when they can't take advantage of sale prices.
