For all those that participated thank you. We want to be able to verify every cent goes the Red Cross Appeal, so we've employed the auditing services of PriceWaterhouseCoopers to make sure every dollar is accounted for. Rest assured we’ll announce the official total as soon as PWC have confirmed it. Hi All — just a quick update, the sale has officially ended. For all those that participated thank you.

Barring that, perhaps SitePoint Customer Service could acknowledge my inquiries. Now, I've had to file a claim with PayPal. Sorry guys. Your hearts were in the right place but your follow-through left something to be desired. That's the last order I make through SitePoint. Bummer.

Not enough companies step up like this in times of need. As an added bonus, I had been trying to decide between a few of your books, but thanks to this deal, I didn't have to worry I'd get the wrong one - I just bought them all!
