Hello All, this is Mike from Bloog - TheBaldEagle -

[TheBaldEagle]

I know it said "hope to have", but 10 days was last Monday. How's that coming along?

5/10 is this Tuesday. Haven't seen any teasers, etc. Still on schedule?

It's been 2 weeks, will the rechargeable kits be part of the new site this week?

I've got 6 new customers waiting for the magical new site so they can finally order, if they haven't wandered off already. I'd like to know if the 5/10 date with a fully stocked inventory is going to be a reality.

Hey Starsong & all our fellow Bloogers!

Sorry for the response delay. As you can imagine it's been hectic with last minute tweaks to the new site. As previously posted, we are anticipating going live tomorrow. Would have done it today but we hit a "cart bug" which shows an error message relating to inventory status. Our programmer feels it will be resolved by tomorrow and we can go live, but have to get the all clear first.

yes, we will offer USPS shipping to our Bloog Customers in Hawaii & Alaska.

We are still out of stock on the 78mm batts but they are trickling in whenever I can get Leaford to stay away from the 2 fer 1 Margarita nights in China! Hope to have a full supply of 78mm batts in over the next 2 weeks. Yes pink & purple will be part of that shipment as will manual switch batts for those Bloogers that prefer manuals.

Starsong, even after we go live I will take you up on your offer to proof the new site for errors buy only if we can offer you some form of compensation for your time & effort. Cool?

The new Rechargeable Kits are at the printer for package proofing & will be available later this month.

I hope that helps with some of the questions. My best to All!

Thank you for your response. It is very disappointing to see there will still be no 78mm batteries, since that's what all my potential customers have been waiting so long for. Oh well, thanks for the update.

Mike,

I'm an expert software designer if you need help proofing the code. I'm not a self proclaimed expert but an actual one. I've being doing it professionally for 25 years and I've been a technical editor on 6 books.

So if you need someone I can spare a few hours.

 

[starsong]

Wow... guess you just showed me the door huh? Sounds like you are self proclaiming to be an expert too.
I also have been doing this for a living for over 20 years, but hey by all means be my guest. sheesh.

I thought you were proofing the website, text and layout, etc.

I was offering to look at specific pieces of code.

But if you were referring to the whole thing (including code) then I withdraw

 

[starsong]

I'm sorry, I misread your meaning. I'm embarrassed. Forgive me please.

 

[n00b]

It's all good. No need for embarrassment, unless you look cute with rosy cheeks

My apologies if the answer to this has been posted elsewhere, I couldn't find it when browsing the forum. So... no 78mm batteries in stock, does this mean that there are batteries of other sizes in stock that are not currently listed on the (soon to be old) website? I'd like to order a couple of minis, but I'll gladly wait until the new site goes live to order if it means I'll have additional color choices.

Thanks in advance!

Under the battery section they list what is available. They currently have silver, white and green minis.

That's what was promised -- holding off posting stock on old site so they'll show on new site. Maybe just wait a day or so and see rather than getting something you are settling for.

 

[amnesiac]

I figured as much from what I had read, but wanted to confirm.

Thanks so much, Starsong!

 

[starsong]

I'm just repeating what we were told like over a month ago. No guarantees they'll carry through with it. If it was going to happen I would have expected to see an email or post a day in advance. Looks like the launch date has been missed already.

What are "the new rechargeable kits"?

What are "the new rechargeable kits"?

They will be like the ones you see in retail stores.

 

[maggiek]

They will be like the ones you see in retail stores.

OK Thanks Red. Still don't know what that means, but thanks for responding.

 

[DeeLeeKay]

I think Bloog is going retail.

 

[redempti0N]

OK Thanks Red. Still don't know what that means, but thanks for responding.

Basically it will be an invidiual battery and cartomizer in a package to be sold in stores. But unlike the store ones which are disposable ours will be a regular Bloog MaxxFusion battery which can be recharged and used over like the ones you buy from the site.

Makes an inexpensive way to try it before you go all in. Not a bad idea.

Nice Christmas gift, if priced correctly.
