Are any of you having issues with text alert showing up hours sometimes after the email alert of the same item. Since, I’m a guy that don’t check my emails but 3-4 times a day I thought the text alert would be the ticket. I’ve had multiple email/text alerts in the last month since using this service but haven’t had any success scoring any hard to get in stock items. I can’t be the only one experiencing these results.
 
I only do e-mail alerts and yes it's common to get there too late, just depends on demand.

As for texts showing up hours later, I have that issue from time to time with texts from other sources. Not so much lately but in the past it was pretty regularly an issue. You could write the admin but I'm guessing he sends out most texts using the same method as email. Josh does recommend telegram for fastest texts and I've seen other vendors say the same for fast reliable texting. Of course still requires your wireless provider to get that to you...
 
I do get text an email and then not accurate. I checked right away and they’re not in stock. This happens two or three times a day now.

Hey, I'm Josh/ShootingBOT. Unfortunately, I have seen this with texts myself. I have Verizon and I sometimes get texts late. I honestly don't know why, they are obviously sent out as fast as possible at same time as emails. I think it's somehow carrier/network related. I have been looking into that, but no answers yet. Except to use Telegram as others have mentioned. Telegram has been extremely reliable and fast. It's just a free messaging app that happens to work great for this type of notification system.
You can always email me if need any help setting that up or other questions.
I'm just admin @ shootingbot.com

If you let me know your username on shootingBOT I will look into that. I'm aware of one bad alert that went out last week, but certainly shouldn't be multiple per day. I'll research it and if there's something going on then for sure I'd appreciate the info and work to solve it.
