Not well suited for importing large lists
I tried to import several thousand emails and failed. It "suggests" that I only send 1000 addresses to begin with. So I uploaded 1000 addresses. I found splitting the list for import to be unreasonable. When I tried to upload more emails, I found out that only 1000 emails can be imported per day.
If the quality of the list is a problem, the bumps and fails might better be identified when the first thousand emails are sent and then stopped if necessary.
But limiting the import is the worst way of ensuring quality.
This hindrance makes it hard to continue trying out this tool.
I have asked support for help and am now waiting to see if there is an improvement. If that happens, I will report here and re-evaluate if necessary.

Edited Nov 11, 2024Hey mate, for all new accounts we limit list imports to 1,000 contacts at a time/per day for the first import or two until email blasts are sent and we can see the results and engagement of the imported lists. This is temporary.
The reason we do this is to see the quality of the contacts ppl are importing... if they do really poorly or are a bad list, then a large import can affect our sending reputation and IPs which can affect other users across our platform. This is why we have a limit.
If you have imported a couple of lists and gotten great results blasting then the limits will be raised or removed... but please also bear in mind, when moving to a new ESP there is a small warmup period and you can't go from 0 to 100k in a day, so it also protects your sender reputation and the integrity of your email lists and sending. which is another reason we have the limit.
It simply prevents abuse and improves deliverability across our platform which benefits everyone using Blastable.
For established and proven accounts there is no limit.
