Issue with being removed from a certain Camping retailer...

[Grit_dog]

Ya know, most online shopping, you can unsubscribe from the barrage of email distributions and “deals.”
I ended up ordering some parts online for pickup (because they weren’t available “in store” supposedly even though they were on the shelf when I went there ...
Anyway the emails started flying in. Been about a month and I’ve unsubscribed a half dozen times to no avail. Thanks Camping _____! Lol

Lol....NO, haha.
Found out the online prices weren't really the prices when I looked at the receipt for my online CW order. Seems they were advertised with the GS discount.
In the store, went to buy a new griddle when I was at the store, seemed like a good price until it was 50%, not 10% more.
Who even subscribes to their c rap anyways? Got out to the truck and bought it for the same price as the "on sale, GS price" in about 45seconds on Amazon.
Gotta hand it to them though, good marketing to apparently enough people to make a buck at it!

Kind of like Best Buy: They're one of Amazon's many retail showrooms.

You can block any incoming email address, so that's what I do.

Good luck! Mitch

Can't recall experiencing that recently except with CW. Just a month or so ago, I went and unsubscribed to all the promo emails from places I've ordered stuff from. They all went away. CW emails are like herpes. They don't just go away.

Share your thoughts (minus the herpes reference) here with the Good Sam team.

Maybe include a link to the CAN-SPAM Act Compliance Guidelines for reference.

Take control. Add them to your spam blocker after 30 days.

You can say "Camping World" here. Even though they own the site, honest critique is still fair and allowed.

Do you use Gmail? Can you click "Report Spam"? Google is pretty good about that (not that I love Google).
