Advice: Do not use ProFlowers

While ProFlowers delivers nice flowers at a standard price, I do not recommend them. They spam the heck out of you! I ordered flowers using my work e-mail address, which does not receive any spam and which I never used to order anything online. Suddenly, every day ProFlowers was e-mailing me, asking me if I wanted to by flowers. No! I didn't! I just bought some two days before. How many flowers do you think one person orders, ProFlowers?

I unsubscribed from their list, figuring they are a legitimate operation that already knows my address is valid anyway. But! Then suddenly I was receiving near-daily e-mails from Cherry Hill Farms, an affiliate of theirs. Then suddenly I was getting random surveys that said at the bottom that they obtained my address from ProFlowers.

Obnoxious and bad! No one needs daily e-mail reminding them to purchase flowers online.
Nuts to you, ProFlowers! Nuts, I say.

Oh my goodness, 1-800-Flowers does the same exact thing. I'm not sure how to get off their mailing list. Maybe it's a florist delivery thing?

Yip. I too am on the 1-800-Flowers email list. But it has been my experience that they will eventually stop. Just put them on your spam list until the next time you want to order flowers. These constant mass emails are going to hurt online stores if they haven't already.
