Midway USA notification

[tarosean]

Sometimes those notifications are delayed on your phone.

My phone receives new emails before my laptop or 3G Ipad. (Yahoo email) I am not sure how they send out the notifications. Either by order of signup or by mass email to those on the list. (????)

I keep signing up though and have gotten through to buy stuff on occasion.

Large mailings can take hours to send out for a variety of reasons.

As a Computer person myself. This is likely the reason and the fact that demand is still way high.
Good luck to those looking for ammo. Check the trading post entries there are a few of us with ammo looking to trade it for something else.

It should be, as I believe it is, first come first served plain and simple. Those switched on, that think and plan win. Those that don't lose. Pretty simple. For whiners, maybe not.

Maybe this might help...

It can't be first-come-first served because the email notifications go out in batches, depending on the service provider they use for marketing. Most organizations do not do this themselves, otherwise they would get blacklisted. They pay companies like Constant Contact or ExactTarget to do this for them. These companies throttle their outgoing SPAM as well, otherwise - blacklist.

Also, your own Internet provider will throttle these types of emails onto their own servers.

Sooooooooo, depending on where you are in the country or where your place is on that email list, you may never get notified at the same moment as the guy sitting next to you using a different provider. So, no - not whiners...

I use the service if it something I really want. I get the email the product is in. I don't have to keep checking all the time.

Ive been on their list for a while now and never gotten a notice

I've been notified of tons of things so far, and bought all of them immediately.

If you're quick, you can get what you need.

The only thing that irritates me is that I'm not buying panic items. It's like scope rings and cleaning supplies lol.

I received a notice at 3:02 and read it at 3:27. When I went to Midway site, the stuff was already gone. 25 minutes and poof!

25 Minutes is an eternity in this market for ammo and reloading supplies.....

I have been successful from my smart phone. If you get a notification add to cart as quick as possible.

I really commend Midway for not gouging prices and I got a memo email with a statement that no employees of Midway are allowed to purchase these items until the shortage gets under control.

I have done a ton of business with them and will for sure keep doing business with them.

When I've been successful with high demand stuff (mags and ammo) it's been when I actually saw the notification appear in my mail box and jumped on it immediately. They probably send out hundreds if not thousands of notifications on those sorts of items so they sell out again in a matter of minutes.
