It is technologically impossible to confirm in LSL if an item delivery completed successfully or failed. Blame LL. In fact, I’m told this is a problem in more established mass-delivery systems like Subscribe-O-Matic as well. Unfortunately, with DSN it is not guaranteed that an item delivered in the past is supposed to still be available, and well, INSOLENCE, for example, put a no copy/transfer item in their sample, which is, in fact, a good idea in the marketing sense, and a good idea for clothing in general, if you ask me, but would be pointless if you could have unlimited redeliveries…
Regardless, here’s an experimental solution to this problem. In the Clever Things shop in Takalo, next to the subscription kiosk, you will find a redelivery terminal, which will allow you to request all DSN samples that you have received in the past 24 hours to be resent. There are the following gotchas though:
- You are only allowed one redelivery request per 24 hours, and only the items sent in the past 24 hours will be redelivered.
- Items will not arrive immediately, but during the course of the next three hours. It is best if you are online at that time. In the future, I will make them arrive over the next ten minutes, but that will require an update to the dropboxes, the required capability will be in the next release.
- If the dropbox no longer exists since that delivery was filled, nothing can arrive in the first place.
- If the item has been changed after it has been sent, you will get the new item, rather than the one that you were sent before.
Let’s see how this works out. If it proves effective enough, a redelivery terminal will be bundled with the kiosk kit, so that there can be more of them. If it’s not effective enough, I’ll try to think of something else… :)

Thank you! This is a great help as I’ve generally only been receiving half the items I have e-mail notifications about.

Thank you very much!Big help…Usually I’m getting only 40% of sent samples…Which is even less than a half

whew I thought it was me. Don’t know if you have the ability to post this message through the delivery system, but it might be nice to advise the membership, as a whole.

A few days ago all my DSN deliveries stopped, so I’ll try out the failed transaction kiosk but wonder if I’ll have to do that daily from now on?

I’m working on a more robust workaround which will try to delay the delivery until you are most likely to be online. I hope that will take care of the problem for good.
The more DSN works, the more this llGiveInventory “issue” bugs me. :(

Thank you for the redelivery terminal. 8 ) SL keeps crashing me out as soon as I log-in, thus losing all the stuff that came in overnite before I can click accept

Glad it’s not just me!! between MM stuff and DSN, and my time difference I am getting maybe 1 in 5 items. Even staggering it maybe to a midday send out insead of midnight? That way most of us have cleared the morning messages..smiles
