Vermont country store. Be it known, that if you DARE order from
Vermont Country Store online and provide an email address for your
receipt and tracking, you WILL get bombarded forever after with ads EVEN
IF YOU UNCHECK THE OPT-IN BOX! You will receive ads before you receive
your order confirmation, and when you use a different email address to
complain about it THAT email address will begin to be spammed as well. I
had to call the store and get an owner and get ugly and nasty before my
email got clean again. They may be nice people and have a lot of neat
stuff, but they do not understand email privacy and whoever they pay to
handle the online marketing are even more clueless. Just a note of
personal experience.
