I keep getting these holiday sale emails from New Balance.
I just checked my Deleted Items before permantly deleting them.
They sent me 43 emails in the last 2 weeks.

For the love of God, stop it already.

you could just unsubscribe from their email list, but that would make too much sense.

I'm getting tons of email from retailers. Never seen this many Christmas sale junk mail in my life before.

They've taken a cue from New Egg and Sony.

Yeah, but then I would have to go in and re-enable it since I like getting their emails because I can only wear New Balance due to my ginormous feet.

You're unable to purchase New Balance shoes without being spammed by them? You know that have these things called "stores" which you can go to and see these magical vessels called shoes in person.

So you like to trample them under your feet and become enraged when they dare speak out. Bourgeois pig.

It also doesnt work.
Unsubscribing means that email is active and somebody is checking it. They usually keep hammering you forever after that.

I just use googles excellent spam filter.
After the holidays, disable it.

Just think of having to delete 43 emails over the last 2 weeks as the work you have to put in to earn the discount or the targeted information you get from being on their email list.

Frankly, it's still a bargain for you, IMHO.

Straight Talk has sent me about 10 texts letting me know my monthly refill has been processed. Pisses me off. And emails to boot.

PEBKAC error. Learn how to setup filters and STFU.

Don't know what email application you're using but I have all non-personal stuff go to a hotmail address. Folder for Ads and have all ads forwarded to folder. Only see stuff if I want to.

I usually only find this to be a problem with less than reliable companies. I first use the unsubscribe, if another one comes in a Gmail filter is set up.

As far as getting the New Balances, I just order mine on Amazon.

Wait people still give out their none spam/personal email addresses to companies?

What is this 2001 or something?
