USCA Curling E-mails

Anyone else tired of the constant e-mail barrage from USA curling hawking t-shirts, sweatshirts and the like?

I have a couple dozen the last 3 weeks including three in one day. May be time to unsubscribe.

Agreed! I did a quick search on my email account and counted 12 USA curling store emails just this last week. I understand that its Black Friday & Cyber Monday and all, but the high amount of emails is a little excessive.

Besides, they aren't even offering that great of deals anyways!

The emails are not coming from USA curling, but rather a contract vendee that they are using. When I contacted USA curling, they told me that they've notified the contract vendee that the participants are getting upset.

USCA gave away our email addresses?

Great. So does this mean the USCA gave our email addresses out to another firm that obviously loves to send SPAM! Just great!

I am going to unsubscribe as well. The same e-mail three times yesterday and a dozen in the last week.

What a joke.

Unsubscribed on the email link and also clicked the "Communications" button at the link (Email Preference Center/USA Curling) to unsubscribe from the weekly USCA Curling shop spam. But those two actions may only get rid of the shop emails (but not also the numerous give-us-cash begging emails) at least until they change the settings unilaterally and one must affirmatively unsubscribe again.

Any cash I donate this year and next for curling goes to local club funds for grassroots development as well as to nations new to curling without national funding as support for global grassroots. I have watched enough advertisers on NBC this year to claim some support to USCA via USOC distribution of NBC revenue for the USCA national staff and team as well as bought items from a CZ advertiser, too. (You're welcome, Gerry.)

A note on the USCA site that they haven't been able to resolve the emails with the third party partner? Ummm... How?!?!?!?

What kind of company did they partner with that it's so difficult to stop emailing people 3 times a day? I unsubscribed weeks ago, and now I'm glad, since apparently it's still not resolved.

Thanks USCA...

Still getting many spams a day from the store, too, despite unsubscribing more than a week ago. So much for customer service or building goodwill.
