Hey Ron, I just received mine a couple of minutes ago with a time stamp of 11:45.  [mad]

I just had a thought maybe if I unsubscribe from the mailing list and then go to the website and rejoin, maybe this issue will be solved.

I didn't receive an email either.  I signed up at Festool Connect and signed up again yesterday after not receiving the emails- checked spam and nothing there.  Not sure what's wrong.

No loss so far- first 3 tools were not on my list to buy, but eventually they might get to something I'm interested in.  Maybe third time's a charm and sign up again??

Regards,
Gerald

11:45 Central is very slow email service. Who is your provider?

Mine arrived 11:51 Eastern time.

11:51 here. I would also look into provider routing, etc.

Well that didn’t work out so well. I managed to unsubscribe but now the site will not let me resubscribe.

I now have invalid login credentials.  [sad]

It has something to do with the Festool site.
My Festool unsubscribe notice was sent at 12:15, I received it at 12:39.
The Festool reconditioned tool notice was sent at 10:51, I received it at 11:45.

I had a chat with Ron Rvieceli on the FOG, sent at 12:17, received at 12:18.
I had a chat with Shane at TN, sent at 11:52, received at 11:52.

I think this says the issue is with the Festool site...yes? no?

To avoid such things the site could announce the tool and put it up for list price, then constantly reduce the price (let's say 3-5% per hour). Bids could always be placed, sales would be made the moment the price falls to a bid (first come, first serve) as long as supply lasts.

That would give the users time to react and should still clear out the stock quickly for market value.

And should not take longer than a week to code for a single freelancer.

Remember the good 'ol days, when the recon sale was through dealers and if you missed out you just kind of said 'oh well..." to yourself, and did not have to announce it to the world....?

Now we are describing in detail when emails were sent out and when they were received... what if everyone got the email at the exact same time? what if there were six drills available and you were the seventh person trying to order? It's the same thing with the festool end user classes, six spots and a mass email goes out. It's luck of the draw... you missed out, maybe next time you will be lucky---

ehh its more of the annoyance of one tool at a time? why not simplify it like last year? oh well.

Goz,

Does this post mean you bought a PDC for $450 or you want one?

Neither! I've just been posting the deals here as I see them, since some people are having issues with the email notifications coming through in a timely manner.

 

[Cochese]

It would be nice to know if it's going to be a consistent time each day.

Received both emails late yesterday. Did not receive either email today. This sounds like a fluster cluck. I'm going to stick to calling radio stations for prizes.

Hey [member=37561]#Tee[/member] , I’ve had a myriad of issues with this promotion including notices of the sale that were 45-60 minutes too late.
My solution was to unsubscribe from the notification, and then to resubscribe to the notification. That has worked well for me, so far, at this point.

However, be very very patient as the Festool website is extremely slow. When I unsubscribed, Festool announced that they would send a message of acknowledgement of unsubscription to me.  I had to wait 20-25 minutes before that came through. You then have to confirm that unsubscription and again wait for the next response. Be patient...be extremely patient.

My best advice is to unsubscribe, put the phone down and walk away for 30-45 minutes. Perform the next step and walk away for an additional 30-45 minutes. After each key stroke you’ll receive a new message...you just have to be very patient and wait for the next step to arrive.

The upside to this horrific work-around is that as of today, I received the sale announcements within 1 minute of the sale as opposed to 60 minutes too late. .
