Here’s my (continuing) story about spam from Performance Bike: http://performance-bike-spam.blogspot.com/

Absolutely true. When I ordered, I specifically mentioned that not only do I never want to receive an email, ever, but also not to send catalogs to my house, ever. I only ordered a gift card for a relative. I have no interest whatsoever in cycling.

Well guess what…the order comes with a catalog, I get put on the mailing list AND the spam list.

Fortunately Yahoo now recognizes Performance Bike as spammers and puts their emails in the appropriate place.

Unfortunately, sometimes it is necessary just to add special filter rules to send mail from such companies straight into the Trash. I no longer have to stress about this company, and it is nice to know that people do find out about their poor customer relations from posts like yours.

They are in fact NOT a local business, from what I have found. A chain of bike stores across the US. And from what I have read, their phone support is terrible in that they send you back to the website to unsubscribe. JERKS!

I’d try Napalm.

Or maybe calling the management? They’re a local business, right? A strongly worded phone call can work wonders.
