Many online vendors do this. Since I have my own web site with its own ability create email addresses, I sometimes create a "disposable" single-use email address to allow myself to complete the transaction, and once the transaction is complete I terminate that email address.

Or, sometimes I create a fake temporary address at Guerilla Mail: ? GuerrillaMail.com Unfortunately, some of the worse spam-senders have figured out what Guerrila Mail is about and won't let you complete the transaction with a Guerrilla Mail address.

Or, sometimes I just lie and give a fake email address that goes nowhere right from the beginning.

Anyway, because of this issue I rarely use a "real" email address for this purpose!

Just for curiosity's sake, have you tried unsubscribing from their spam? If you tried, what happened? Was it successful or did they keep spamming you even after you asked to be removed? I'm just wondering if they're an "honorable" vendor who respects your wishes when you ask to be removed, or if that just makes the spamming worse!

Harmoney, I just wanted to add that I really like the quote in your signature line: "The dancer cannot be separated from the dance, she also cannot be separated from the history of dancing, from the line of dancers and teachers leading to her."

What's the source?

It was from a movie, but for the life of me I can't remember which one. I found it by googling "dance quotes"!! It's my fav quote of all time, because it's so true...one of those things that makes me stand a little taller and remember the history of it all =)

I've had more spam from things like craigs list....Vistaprint's benefits outweigh my spam complaints!! LOL

I agree. Spam or not, every order from VistaPrint has been perfect, and faster than estimated. I get compliments on my business cards and postcards, and there are always some people who are surprised when I say that they're from VistaPrint- they couldn't possibly be that nice, because I didn't pay enough!

I'm running low on cards, and am doing a redesign (as soon as I get the pics from my last photoshoot.) When I'm ready to order new cards and postcards, they will be from Vistaprint!

Apparently, it's from Baryshnikov-The-Dancer-and-the-Dance - Trailer - Cast - Showtimes - NYTimes.com

I use online services plenty, and no-one has ever spammed me quite as frequently as Vistaprint.

I actually do want to hear from them with news of their offers. Just not three, four, five times a week.

And while not relevant to my vistaprint spamming issues, I do have a general and spectacular bugbear about ME having to unsubscribe myself from email lists I never subscribed to in the first place. NO- if you put me on your mailing list without my knowledge and approval, you'd blooming-well better get me off it. I don't want to have to click on an unknown site, in order to fix something that shouldn't need fixing in the first place. Email Newsletter senders pay attention!

I've had bad spamming from Jockey and Victoria's Secret. Multiple times a week in both cases.

Yeah, I agree. It's one of the reasons I never buy anything any more from Sharifwear. Every time I'd buy something, they'd re-add me to their spam list, and I finally got tired of always having to remove myself yet again.
