Disappointed for missing opportunity

I own a computer hardware blog and I genuinely review hardware. For the first time, I got an email from a brand like Arctic to review their new CPU coolers which they are launching in a few days. But as I reside in India, they said they can only send review samples inside the USA. I am very disappointed for missing this opportunity. Don't know how will I get samples for reviewing. :(59c3cb9596788_Untitled1.png.bbbf9997500607b51772b38c7139d9d4.png

You didn't miss the opportunity. It was never available to you.

Did you specify that you're in India when you requested review units?

 

I wouldn't be upset. You'll miss out on hundreds of opportunities in life. Just the way it goes.

 

This probably would have been better as a status update ;)

I did not contact them. They contacted me. Yes, I am not demoralized but I will see if some other brands will cooperate with me or not.

Not all companies have this sort of limitation, big asian brands like Asus would probably have no problems sending you a review sample if they wanted to.  Just keep up the good work and you'll get more of these offers.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
