It looks like the idiots(in my opinion) at Coles(in Australia) can't seem to figure out how to actually remove someone from their mailing list. Their little legal disclaimer claims they need 5 days to take you off their mailing list, I've given them MUCH more time then that following each of the multiple requests I have made.

Now I know that normally the best thing to do is ignore the SPAM, but while they may be in Australia, they do appear to be a company that might actually try to follow the requests of someone who wants off their junk-email list. And based on the claims of most large companies, my guess is that they on a regular basis tell everyone that they can, how they "LOVE their customers" and only want "Happy People" on their mailing list, and that of course they remove everyone who requests it.

I just thought that I would make a searchable entry that stated otherwise. This way if they, like many companies, try to tell someone that they are the only person experiencing a problem getting removed from their mailing list. That person will have my statement(of my personal experience) to the contrary to point to.

Who knows, maybe Coles will actually read this and contact me about getting my email address removed from their junk-email list. I doubt it, but hey lets give them one more chance.

If they have been SPAMing you also, why not add a comment to this post and let the world know. Also if you link to it, that will make it easier to find in the search results.
