New Primer Notification Tool

I got to the payment page, before everything went down the pipe hole... next time.
 
Natchess site was not up to the traffic. Had them in my cart but could never get too checkout
 
I got to the submit order part and it sent me back to the cart because my order was now one more than what they had in stock. By the time I redid it the site crashed.
 
LRP and SPP will be 1 more week out.

Expecting by this time next week.

Doing more internal testing so we have a buttery smooth launch.

I will also probably go ahead and release LPP with them as well, it will work on the same system.

I will need to restructure pricing, for all of those after the introductory 11.99 rate. Need to figure out best way to do it with the new primer products. So forewarning there. Those founding members which have already received my emails, and we have spoke, our agreement stands very strong and you will all be unaffected.

You took care of me when we had bugs, now its my turn for you.

I would love to know your thoughts on how I should change pricing going forward with the new primers.
My email is open.

Of course I will send an email with more details to members next week.

Standby, and hang tight, as always, I'll get it right!
 
Ben, is your tool coded such that when you add LRP, SPP, and LPP they will fall under the existing notification framework... i.e. a subscriber is a subscriber and you're simply extending the product set that is scanned for - subscribers will begin getting alerts for all four types?

Or are you creating four separate alerting frameworks, with separate subscriptions for each?
 
Recieved an email from Natchez confirming an order of 3, we will see if they arrive.
I actually completed the checkout at Natchez yesterday. Then yesterday evening, I received an email from Natchez that their was insufficient stock to fulfill my order, and that my order had been cancelled.

No cancellation email yet, however still waiting on the email with tracking number.
 
Within 5 seconds of the ping I tried midsouth and it showed out of stock.
Within 5 seconds of the ping I tried Natchez and it kept delaying and crashing, I finally gave up.
 
Read through the thread... I’m in. Maybe I’ll actually manage to get some reasonably priced primers for the inert pile of reloading gear in my closet. Also, pretty interested in the implementation; I keep thinking about building a (simple version of) a service like this, but am not enthusiastic about the idea of spending my free time writing More Cloud Stuff.

Be careful guys, there are a lot of scammers out there. Don't give into pre-paying for primers with a "company" whom you've never have heard of before and only have 4 products in their store.

Well I'd have to say this is sorta fun trying to win some primers. Midsouth is ridiculous. I set up a special ringtone for the text and literally have my phone sitting 3 inches from my keyboard. I was able to click on the link in the text message before the ringtone even stopped. Result........not in stock............ There is NO way.

natchez I actually had them in my cart, and then their website went 404 - 5 times in a row and by the time I actually got through.....all gone....but at least I had a shot.

natchez is annoying in the fact they keep sending me emails saying hey finish your cart but the product is out of stock but whatever...lol

midsouth....No WAY......
 
Well boys, I am still batting 1000. Was on Midsouth in less than 30 seconds. OOS,OOS.
Something smells fishy to me.
Oh well, it is what it is.
 
Oh, yeah, I know, I look at that regularly too, plus the instockammo subreddit, gundeals, big list of bookmarks, etc, but I‘ve been looking for about a month and a half (for primers, where reloading was supposed to be my alternative to trying to find Grendel factory ammo over the last few months), once or twice a day and haven’t seen anything that I was on time for. Figured if this pings my phone I’ve got at least a fractionally better chance of catching something, and avoid unintentionally distracting myself from work. Will it help? Who knows! But my current approach isn’t getting me anywhere.

Starting to think I should just bite the bullet and go through gunbroker so I’ve got ammo for two gun next month...

Don’t feed the gunbroker monster. Do you have a local gun owner forums? The one for my state has primers regularly for $100-$150. Not great but better than GB.
