I've been a Logos user for almost 11 years........... still haven't heard anything from my Friday afternoon request.

When you called them to let them know you still hadn't heard a reply, what did they say?

Logos has every right IMHO to keep the sales #'s private.  (Not that I'm not curious  :-)  )

Pardon my differing opinion, but given the activity of the user group, as soon as Logos posts this data, we have threads on:

1. Logos should make the special more compelling - too few offers were accepted

2. More offers would have been accepted if Logos had better payment plans

3. <Resource x> should have had a higher discount

4. That's not so many emails, x sales people should have processed all the requests much more quickly than they did

5. Such a high percentage of accepted offers proves people want to buy but the normal prices are too high

6. Such a low percentage of accepted offers proves Logos has too many resources for sale and the market is saturated

7. What will Logos do with all the money they realized from this sale? I think they should invest it in ______________.

you get the idea....IMHO this is too much information that really doesn't help customers at all, and only opens Logos up to more unproductive firestorms.

Too bad they don't have a "like" button on the forums to click as Facebook does!

I'm sorry to hear that some of you didn't get a response.  I wish I had an answer for you...  It took about 48 hours for me to hear back from them.  I responded to the e-mail to purchase two out of the three items, but haven't heard back from them (that was yesterday afternoon).  I am sure Logos will make good on it, if by chance they didn't get your e-mail or it somehow got overlooked.  With the mass e-mails that they got, I am suprised they handled it as well as they did.

I'm sure that request was for the happy path scenario where they replied in the order and timeframe that they'd expect. Your experience is clearly an exception. I'd certainly have called by now.

It seems to me that the simplest explanation for the waiting would be if you e-mailed a particular sales person, and that particular sales person happened to be off all weekend. 

I'm still waiting for my offers as well, email submitted on Friday at 22:52 GMT. I'm guessing something will emerge eventually...

Mine went to junk mail, so you might want to double check there. I have Yahoo Plus mail so I'm used to using Outlook for mail mail. Yahoo put it in junk before it even got to me though, so I didn't find it till I went to mail.yahoo.com and checked my junk mail there.

Thanks for the reply Phil. That was the first place I checked. Definitely not there - unfortunately [:(]

I emailed at 10:26am PST on Black Friday but still haven't heard anything.

Tuesday... still waiting... maybe the discount will be huge! [:D]

Looks like no offer, today... 5:15pm, PST.

I will Mark. I hope it helps.

Mark A. Smith said:

Send a copy of your original email to Dan@logos.com and he'll make sure it is taken care of.

Thanks, Mark! Already done yesterday... just checked & got a response from Dan 30 minutes ago. I'm confident, too, they'll make me an offer... hopefully it'll be one I can't refuse.

Either way, thanks, Logos!

Has anyone else still not heard back from sales@logos.com?  It's been close to six full days since I sent in my BF submission.  I did hear from Santiago last night.  (He said he saw my post in this thread.)  I replied back to him.  Then . . . nothing.  I also re-sent my submission to sales@logos.com (last night) and to dan@logos.com (this morning).  Still . . . nothing.   

To wrap it up, I did hear from a sales rep.  The discounts were decent, but I only accepted one of them (and it happened to be the smallest discount).  I'm fine with that.  Thanks, Dan.  Thanks, Logos. 

I was completely thrilled by the offer I accepted on the Anchor/Yale Bible dictionary -- almost 30% off -- until on my Logos 4 homepage today I saw that Logos currently has a 25% off sale going on the same title. Cyber Monday, therefore, saved me ten bucks. Satisfied? Yes. Thrilled? No longer.

Yes! Finally found someone who owns this resource Handbook for Bible Study it's included in your Baker's Hermeneutics Collection.  Matthew, could you please give me a review of this book when you get done reading it? Or can you send me a sample chapter along with the table of contents.  I've heard a lot of good things, but I don't know if it's worth buying another "Inductive Bible Study" book.  I own Morris Proctor's volume for Logos 4 and I'd like to know if this book by Osbourne would be helpful or redundant.  Thanks!

I will give you a sample; a "teaser" to coax you into buying it.   [:-*] Any particular section look intriguing?   I really am excited about the titles in this collection.  I will also try to read it quickly and give you my cursory summation. I have my daughter's wedding next week so I may be a little busy at times this week.
