Best Practices (So You Actually Win the Drop)

• Use area select to monitor only the availability module.
• Tune frequency to the moment: speed up checks during expected drops or major events.
• Enable SMS if you’re mobile—email can be slower to notice.
• Act immediately when alerted; hot items can sell out in minutes.
• Be flexible: consider alternate bundles, colors, or store pickup.
• No speculation on timing: restocks vary by product and location—continuous monitoring beats guessing.
