Aweber is lacking

Dont get me wrong ive been with aweber for years, close to 7 years.. they have many many things going for them as a service but some features which you would think would be standard in the service are not... well 1 is not and 1 you have to upgrade to get.

I wanted to have the option of letting my subscribers decide on a new community site ive created, which days of the week they want messages sent to them. i.e

mon, tues, wed, thurs, friday

I asked aweber about this, as this is a pretty straight forward option to provide as many people would only prefer to get things on certain days.

Do they have it..? NO.. the subscriber cant select the day

I couldnt believe they didnt have this after all the years they have been in service

Then they tell me, you cant let your subscribers choose but you can choose for them. i.e I can queue up 50 emails and have them send on a specific date. I.e Tuesday every week without me having to be there and no matter what day they sign up. It will only ever go out on Tuesday.

They guide me to the option.... and well it appears to get that you have to upgrade ( kaching ) and extra $40 a month to get that..

And after having been with them for close to 7 years, nope there is no deal

so its time to find a autoresponder service that actually has those 2 features by default, or at least 1 of them without having to upgrade

As right now it wont let me my subscribers choose and it wont let me send on 1 or 2 specific days of the week every week without either

a. being there to send them ( defeats the point of autoresponse )
b. upgrading

crazy business...
