If they intended to have a "private sale", it probably wasn't the best idea to advertise it loudly on their website the day before the sale started. That's how I found out about it.

I too wonder about the criteria for advance notice. I am not a regular Terry customer but I've placed several orders over the past year... Though I've done some direct mail before (political stuff, not retail) and the decision about exactly who to mail is very calculated and donors are segmented according to multiple parameters. Retail is probably the same, maybe my $100 here or there wasn't enough to make the cut.

Anyhoo, I can't complain too much (unless I find my credit card charged 5 times), because although it was a major hassle I ended up with a whole bunch of Gore stuff that I probably wouldn't have bought otherwise.
