It only emails the dealers who take part in the shopatron program, not all of us who deal with them......
You will find that most of the bigger accounts and larger stores are too busy to ploice this every day and do not particiapte in the program.
We ourlseves are way to busy dealing with what we already have to have time to reply to "hundreds" of emails a day on shoptron stating we have the parts, then only get given/awarded a VERY small handful of the orders that we can fulfil. It goes by the shops location also as well as stock, so a shop owner/manager can waste all day checking stock and putting it to ne side to then not be given any of the orders if another shop is closer
The other thing with shopatron is that it wastes one day while it puts your "request" out for tender amongst all the shops, then after 24 hours it awards your order to the closest shop who can fulfil it, so your order does not even move anywhere for between 24/48 hours. "Most" of our customers have already got their packets in that time scale, let alone them not even leaving the store they are coming from......
"Apparantly" CML do not sell direct from there themselves....
