SBontempo Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Hi Guys,Another soon to be LOR newbie here. I was just wondering if anyone else who has used the TryForFree Promo has heard anything about shipping yet. I've e-mailed Mary a few times and even called her once so I didn't want to bug her again! It's just the anticipation is killing me!!Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmoore60 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Heard anything about shipping in what sense?There is no free shipping this year. Dan stated that long ago.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin N Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I'm assuming he is asking if anyone knows when they are going to start shipping. If so, I'm kinda wondering as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slider Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 If you read the details about the TryForFree offer you will notice it says the following:"If you use the TryForFree promotion the shipping of your order will be delayed but it will be delivered in 3 months or less." "Orders processed without the TryForFree promotion code will be shipped first."So, I'm assuming we won't see our orders until the sale is over and all the orders that didn't use this promotion are shipped first.Full details on the sale are located here:http://www.lightorama.com/TryForFree2008.html-Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightORamaDan Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 We will start shipping the TryForFree orders this week. We will try and get order status updated with an approximate ship date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iresq Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I don't want to sound flip, but why would you sign up for promotion without knowing what you signing up for? Dan was clear in how this was going to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponddude Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I didn't take the TryForFree promo, mainly because I needed my DC board for some water stuff I want to try. I ordered on the first day of the sale, which was a Saturday. By Tuesday the order shipped and I had it in my hands on Thursday.Now that is service!!

SBontempo Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 I knew full well what I was signing up for. I also knew the shipping was going to be delayed. I was also told they were possibly going to ship this week.I was simply wondering what the status was on shipping as if they were still going to be shipping this week, which Dan said is the case (Thank You Dan!)I thought my question was pretty straight forward and for that I apologize. I'll try to be a little more clear in the future. :-)Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsMeBobO Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Congratulations to the 35 winners! Sadly I was not among them. I don't know about you winners, but I was just going to repeat the order and get double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smjosephrn Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Congrats to the winners. Yup, I'll bet that many of the winners will be making new orders in the weeks to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightORamaDan Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 One of the concerns with having a contest like this is that a lot of people will be disappointed.:{ However I will tell you that I really enjoy the giveaway part of the business. I Emailed the winner of the PC and he was very excited so today we made some people feel good:). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsea300 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 CONGRATS to all the winners!!!!! I unfortunately was not one of them Oh well. I think is was a great idea for LOR to do this. How many companies offer an idea like this. NONE. Sorry everyone couldn't win but that is the luck of the draw. Just be happy for the winners!!!! AGAIN CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS. Oh by the way CHRISTMAS is just around the corner!! Back to programming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.D. Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Congrats to everyone that won. Unfortunately I wasn't one of them but I do have a question for Dan and his team. How are you prioritizing the shipping of the non-winner's orders (e.g. first ordered - first shipped; size of order; kit orders first since they don't need assembly; personal perference; etc.)? Also, will we get an email as it's being shipped to let us know to expect the shipment? Thanks Dan for making a great product... J.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore60 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 J.D.Part of the TryforFree contest was you agreed to a potential delay of your order if you participated in the contest. In previous years shipping of your order under the contest has had nothing to do with your winning or not. Dan has already said (may have read that on PlanetChristmas) that orders under the contest were expected to start shipping on 7/10/08. First in/First out.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBontempo Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 From what I hear, they began shipping the TryForFree orders out yesterday and were shooting for 50 orders a day to be shipped. I think I had orders in the range of 80 to 90 so hopefully they'll ship out on Monday!!:cool:Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
