A lot of people are getting the same thing... it's because their site is getting hammered

posted on their FB page:

If you send an email to Promo@ShopRunner.com that simply contains your name and email address, as soon as we have stabilized the website, we will email you a unique PIN# that will allow you to sign up for your free 1-yr. membership.

I have no idea what shoprunner is but since it took me to a facebook page, I no longer care.

Never heard of them until today... Sounds exactly like what google is trying to do to compete with Amazon.

Bah...fuck these companies who require you to "like them" on Facebook too get free goodies.
I don't use Facebook for anything. The only times I've ever been there is when a link from here took me there...and shame on me for not checking where the link went first.

I KNOW I'm not alone in my refusal to "facebook" for any-fucking-thing.

"Thar awtta be a law again this here stuff!"

i've seen their service /logo on newegg for several months now.

Yeah I used it a few times on newegg. The second order was sent usual ground method instead of 2 day delivery. I emailed newegg twice to ask them why it was sent ground and never got a reply. I don't really care because the shipping was free but I wouldn't pay for this service after having the second order sent ground.

I used them once with a free 14 day trial to get something from the Egg 2-dayed for free. I canceled after that. About three weeks ago I got an email to resub for a year free, so I did. The process as a whole was pretty painless, even canceling. It seems they also offer free return shipping through them, which could be a boon if the website you ordered from normally wants you to pay return shipping. They also offer additional coupons and discounts at some of their participating merchants, though I can't say I've ever used the coupons.

All in all I only shop at Newegg online and none of the other participating sites, so I wouldn't pay for the service. But for free, enh, why not?

I signed up yesterday and placed my and order with deliver schedules for the 7th. I guess that's about right. It's free, so why not. I don't order much from anywhere but amazon due to there lightning fast shipping with Prime so I'll see if this opens my horizons. I'm used to the same day processing and shipping of Amazon and newegg took a full day.

I wonder if the code/pin expires... apparently my sign up of the service went through so now I have my email registered and a pin for 1 yr on top of that.
