I didn’t see the “we have some set aside for 4pm for VMP” notification on the last few sold out things. Is Last Call dead? Or do they just not call attention to it anymore?
@dave I understand the want for inventory management to start the day fresh at 8am, but can someone think outside of their own timezone? Many of us pay extra for this (V) badge…but then are asked to awaken at 5AM on the west coast for the chance to maybe get in an order of the remaining item missed from the day before? Currently that’s the only remaining reason for me to stick with VMP (aside from the badge…obviously) and I’m suffering for it.
fyi - both of my smart bulbs from the refurbished Hue Starter Kit shorted out. This is why I had to wake up at 5AM.
@shruggie Unfortunately, in my haste to bitch about something (anything really), my wording was not accurate enough to point out that the “remaining item missed” is referencing “hold-overs”; when a product is selling too quickly. I understand your confusion - as this thread is in regard to “Last Calls”.
Lets state it this way from an east coast perspective. The midnight launch favors the west coast 9pm launch. To help us complaining east coasy folks they set the control to launch at 8am again for east coast, giving the west coast a chance moss sleep, as opposed to the east coast going to bed late.
@elysiumplain Furthermore to @jml326 comment, you don’t have to be VMP for the 5am (8am est) launch, only for the 4pm “set aside for vmp”. So if your only reason for VMP is so you can possibly get some at 5am pst that you missed at 9pm pst the night before, then cancel your VMP cause anyone can get that batch.
Sorry for my misnomer in the thread title. Thanks for the answer, I’ll be sure to log in if something I want is sold out for people who aren’t mediocre enough.
They have had the 4:00 timeslot for VMPs. But isn’t “Last Call” the ability to still purchase it for a few hours into the following day?
The 4pm VMP launch only triggers if we’ve sold out of the rest earlier in the day. That happened yesterday, but it doesn’t happen every day.
What you may have noticed - we did remove mention of it if you’re not logged in (since people can’t sign up for VMP any more).
@dave
A bit (ir)relevant; why is the “ad” for VMP still on the homescreen?
@shruggie Oh right. It’s funny, we don’t see that because we’re VMP, so it got missed. Thanks, we’ll clear that out soon!
@dave Will there be an OHSHIT REPORT on this?
@dave With that in mind, i’m sure you are probably already aware that it is still advertised on morningsave.com as well?!

@elysiumplain
According to the VMP page, you have until 6am Eastern to snag the deal.
That means VMPs have 30 hours to snag a deal. Not really sure why timezones would matter much in this case.
And where do you get 8am from? Product rollover is at midnight Eastern.
Also, wow, it’s been a few weeks since somebody complained about timezones.

@elysiumplain
Your reply is a bit confusing.
So which part are you complaining about exactly for which you referenced waking up at 5?

I dont want VMP any more.
@yhohoho so cancel it.
