IN REGARDS TO THE MESSAGE THAT APEX POSTED...
i sent the following e-mail to staples and encourage others to do the same...
as a customer of staples that drives 40 miles to the nearest store for your products, I AM ABSOLUTELY LIVID AT WHAT I JUST READ. it seems that someone in their infinite wisdom has asked
the "GOTAPEX.COM" SITE (and others i presume of the "deal" variety, to stop linking to them.
"STOP ADVERTISING YOUR PRODUCTS???"
first off...YOU DONT DEMAND A DAMN THING!!!
this is the peoples internet and if we want to advertise something you offer for resale we damn well can. you put it up on the web for the whole world to see and thats what were doing.
we see your website...we like it...we like the "deals" you offer.
dont point at us because you cant manage your coupons or your product to keep up with demand.
while i only buy products that i can personally
use, i have great disdain for those that use deals to resale and make money...if you feel that the coupons and deals must stop...then stop...but dont even try to control how we view/share the information that you put on the net for all to see.
i will copy this message and place it in every deal site that i visit (currently 25 or so) and request that every subscriber do the same.
we,the consumers of your products,use only the information that you have provided and buy only the products that you offer through legitimate
promotions on these "deal" sites. we have done nothing wrong, and will not be silenced because of inadequate planning on your part.
I EAGERLY AWAIT A RESPONSE VIA VOICE OR E-MAIL
IN REGARDS TO STAPLES CURRENT AND FUTURE POSITION ON THESE MATTERS.
SINCERELY,
