I am even happen to received emails from them because they are always somehow relevant to their service(s) and are plain text.

However, this one falls into the category of a really stupid email, as I have highlighted below they are actively seeking my feedback. That is great!

However, if you try to offer your feed back it goes to "noreply" and comes right back to you! I would think if they actually wanted someone's feedback they would offer a valid email address or other means of communicating it to them!

Basically they are asking me to contact again with the same information I contacted them with the first time. Option #2 is how I contacted them the first time.

They conclude the email saying that I should replace to it. So should I reply to the email or use their website to contact them?

Should I assume if I contact them again I'll get a different answer. If I had made a purchase would I need to go through the same contact them twice the same way procedure, or is it more than twice?

I really wanted to contact their media department, but they only offer phone numbers and no email addresses. I don't do customer service of any kind via telephone.

I am glad that I have not entered a Walmart store in over 5 years!

Why are People so Inconsiderate?
By Lexie Elaine at 04/13/07 11:33

I find it highly aggravating that some people while shopping have so little manners.

I guess it is like driving or anything else, it is just bad manners. While shopping at Wal Mart the other day, simply navigating the aisles was a nightmare because that is where people:

* Socialize with friends they haven't seen for at least a day
* Talk on their cell phones while their cart is parked in the MIDDLE of the aisle
* Allow their children to run wild, and force you to put on your cart brakes to avoid impact
* Stand and look at a section of products for half an hour, and when people are behind them, and OBVIOUSLY want to grab something from that section, refuse to move over
* Refuse to stay on their side of the street (aisle)

I wish people would simply just have some respect for fellow shoppers, or just exercise some good manners and common courtesy.

Maybe you do can you can contact these really stupid spammers, and help them in their quest to stop cyber squatters! I would also like to sell you the brooklyn bridge.

I am sure we could come up with a list of 10 better ways for them to promote their service without waking me up with their stupid emails. Yes, Wilbur does have an alarm clock buzzer hooked to his inbox so he never misses an email.
