Buffalo III - flexibility without compromise.

Next weekend, July 23. I am getting everything lined up now. Of course, my day job has decided to be extra busy at the same time (!).

This will be for pre-orders. This is how it works, in a nutshell...

I will be accepting pre-orders in batches. I size the batches so that I can actually deliver them as promised. Each batch of pre-orders will have a ship week associated with them. You basically just add the DAC to your cart like any other item and I ship the entire order on the stated week.

I cannot accept an endless list, mainly because I don't like being in a position of having people's money without a solid idea and ability to ship the product. I am working on a way to accept pre-orders going further out into the future, however. More on that later.

The downside is that the pre-orders tend to sell out very quickly. There is not a lot I can do about that, other than to keep offering more and more batches.

As for the time of day, I move this around for each sale to give different time zones a break. 6:00 EST, 12:00 EST, 18:00 EST, 24:00 EST

This is what I was referring to above, about holding people's money with no specific date of delivery. It seems like a recipe for disaster to me. Instead, we are steadily working to have more and more units available.
