IT News

 I’ve got good news for anyone who has ever found a product they need out of stock but doesn’t have the time to check back to see when it will be available again. All-Spec will now automatically text or e-mail you when products you select are back in inventory.

Just click on the “notify me when this product is back in stock” link you’ll find below a product’s price.  Enter your email address, or phone number if you prefer a text message, and you’ll be immediately contacted as soon as a new shipment has arrived.  If you choose to receive an email, it’ll contain a link back to the product to make purchasing as easy as possible.

So stop clicking from site to site looking at inventory levels.  Spend your time more productivity and All-Spec will do the watching for you. If you’d like to add a comment please leave one below.  For more information call Customer Service at (800) 537-0351.

After months of planning, building and waiting it’s finally complete. Our fiber connection is live and DNS records have been updated. You should see a large improvement in speed and latency from our web and mail servers. Thanks for your continued support and business!

[IT News] Fiber connection update #2

by Glen B. on April 19, 2012

Here it is! Our shiny new fiber connection is ready for turn-up. The AT&T installer was kind enough to install a spare he had instead of waiting 3 more weeks for one originally scheduled to get here May 15th. We should be getting a call, soon, stating that network provisioning has been completed and our connection is live. Impatiently, I tried and failed to get a connection yesterday on my netbook. The blinking lights and RJ45 jack say “plug into me and consume my bandwidth” yet it fails to comply with my requests. Soon, very soon!

Fiber Optics!

[IT News] Fiber connection update

by Glen B. on March 21, 2012

We are so excited about our fiber connection! Finally, it’s almost turn-up time! The estimated availability date is 05/01/2012, per AT&T, for our new fiber connection. The fiber bundle has been run, our new network addresses have been provisioned by AT&T and ARIN has confirmed a new POC with our information.

There will be great bandwidth potential for All-Spec once this fiber install is finished. AT&T estimates that roughly 2GB of bandwidth could be provided through this fiber bundle with specific equipment and provisioning on their end. We will be starting out with 10MB up and down for now. That is double our current sustained bandwidth capacity. Up to 100MB is quickly attainable with a simple phone call and some billing changes. I don’t think we’ll need more than that this year, but more can be made available to us with equipment and provisioning changes.

Thanks for your continued business!

We are currently working on some shipping carrier integration changes. The changes will make UPS shipments more seamless than our current integration. One new benefit of this shipping carrier project is the inclusion of U.S. Postal Service (USPS). We will soon be able to rate and ship USPS packages in our system. Once we have analyzed our domestic and international package data we will be able to quote a USPS rate for the same shipping rules we now apply to ground shipping on stock items. Some item restrictions will have to be added due to USPS regulations but most non-chemical and non-liquid items can ship USPS. There is currently no anticipated date of availability on our web site but it will be happening very soon. Stay tuned!
