I've been receiving some comments regarding the timing of my newsletters, mainly that the items people are waiting for, seem to appear for sale on the site a few minutes before customers receive their newsletter.
The way I do things when items come into stock is as follows:
If I sent the newsletter in advance of placing the products in stock, I would then get many emails from people stating that the items were not actually in stock as advertised.
I do it this way because it makes most sense and is as fair as I can get it. I understand that it's frustrating to miss out on a new product that you might be very excited about getting, but please be assured that I am trying to do my best to make it fair for everyone and I shall continue to do so.

- I list the stock in the shop and update the cache so that it it shows as available.
- I immediately send the newsletter.
