    How can you not know the daily deal?!? It's the best thing since sliced bread (to overuse a cheesy expression). Every weekday at 9 am Parallax announces a new special that makes or breaks the day!

    The Daily Deal is the big red button of happiness. Sort of like a virtual Santa. [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    It's the red bar / banner near the top of the main page.

    Why doesn't Parallax post the Propeller-related Daily Deals to this Propeller-specific forum as soon as they become available? Also, there should be a way to buy the daily deal given a discount code if you're a forum member for at bit more than 24 hours. We members live all around the World; nut just in the U.S. So time zones matter...

    That's why it's a 24 hour period...

    So this means Parallax intentionally wants to eliminate 12 hour maximum Global time zone overlap to discover and buy the Daily Deal? I hope not. Remember, those like me may be located overseas, but we can still purchase from the U.S. online in near real-time. It is difficult, be we are able overcome the issues.

    The purpose of the daily deal is probably to drive visits to the web site. Sending out something on the forums would defeat the purpose.

    The daily deal resets at 0900PST, I am outside the U.S. at GMT-5 so it resets every 24 hours at 1200EDT my time.
    I think this program is excellent, now, if I need parts I usually wait until at least one part appears on the daily deal - I still seem to get a different delivery person every time though.

    Note: one of the best things about their site is the fact that the cart does not timeout for 24 hours so you can add parts throughout the day.

    I don't want to get into details but the sales dept at Parallax is exceptional and very helpful - they have personally helped me out with volume orders.

    thank you

    Awesome! I've been hoping those would be a daily deal again. I missed out on them last time.

    A new way to get your Daily Deal update, follow "ParallaxInc" on Twitter.

    Now you can get Parallax updates in the form of sms, web, mobile web, instant message, or from third-party API projects with Twitter.
    Every weekday morning we will send out the Daily Deal via our Twitter account.

    twitter.com/ParallaxInc

    To follow us, you'll need to create an account on Twitter and then choose to follow "ParallaxInc". It's free.

    What's a Twitter anyway? (From the Twitter site):
    "Twitter is a real-time short messaging service that works over multiple networks and devices. In countries all around the world, people follow the sources most relevant to them and access information via Twitter as it happens, from breaking world news to updates from friends. Twitter asks one question, "What are you doing?" Answers must be under 140 characters in length and can be sent via mobile texting, instant message, or the web."

    Cheers, JJ

    Check the daily deal and got "BASIC Stamp 2 OEM Module (Kit Form)". Not much like a prop to me!

    Still a mite annoyed that we do not get half decent UK prices - absolutely slammed by the UKP/USD exchange rate. An its snowing again! Us brits like to complain about the weather.
