Reid Rosefelt Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) About 10,000 emails ago, I started to get annoyed. ? But I just let them go on and on, even though I usually delete them without reading them. Sometimes they are written by unfamilar names, like Fred Faderble and Agnes Patoot, and that distracts me and causes me to open them before I delete. Whoever handles their spam strategy is sly. But I thought about it, and decided I had enough, so today I cut them loose, despite the fact that Musician's Friend is still my favorite place to buy hardware. I suppose I'll still find out about the best deals here. ? Edited February 19, 2020 by Reid Rosefelt 6

synthmeister Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 I did the same a while back. There was an incredible deal on a hollow-body guitar that I missed. But the volume of emails for tuners, cables, mic stands was just not worth the hassle. 4
jude77 Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Has Agnes Patoot been writing you too! That hussy, she told me I was the only one 7
RSMcGuitar Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 I just unsubscribed from a bunch of stuff. I check here all the time so I was literally just deleting all the emails without reading them. What a waste of time. I recently signed up for a UA mailing list because it was a requirement for a contest they were having. They started sending 3 emails A DAY! It's like they want people to unsubscribe. Once a week at the most makes sense to me. Anything more is abusive. 2
husker Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 I ditched MF emails awhile back as well. Who thought it would be a good idea to send multiple emails a day?!?!? I think I'll do the same for several other companies soon. Larry does a better job anyway. 4

TerraSin Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 I'm interested to know why they still email codes to my paypal email but not to the email my account is registered to. I constantly get discount codes on PP one but it's like crickets on the other. I'm also annoyed that they are trying to be Sweetwater lately with the personal reps but they've changed mine like 8 times in the last 6 months. I'm guessing it's a crap place to work and they can't keep employees.
e-cue Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Sweetwater. Ugh. They call and talk to me like a long lost buddy that I owe for a bar tab or something, then when I get annoyed and say "Sorry, who the hell is this?", they reply "It's Biff over at Sweetwater. You bought a dozen drumsticks on sale for 99¢ from us and I'm just wondering how they're working out for ya?".... I can help but think "they wouldn't do it if it didn't work". I don't mind the junk mail so much, other than for my often luke warmer than they should be eco concerns. 2

Totally agree, but hands down better experience dealing with them than MF lately. SW should have a "no call" list.

kitekrazy Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 I made sure I got back on. It's a great place for wind players. That's where I get my mouth pieces.
