This would be nice to see weekly or semi-weekly on parts waiting many months on restock. Nobody likes to feel like they’ve been ignored/forgotten.
especially the “Dear Valued Customer” part put me on notice immediately
Other than that, I do think that sending out this kind up updates regularly is a good idea. One thing I see people complain about in these forums is the lack of transparency. So thumbs up Although I do not think that support is reading this, so you might want to mail them with this suggestion.
I don’t think that this will be feasible unless it is automated, and if it is automated, it doesn’t quite offer the same assurance that the order hasn’t been forgotten about.
