Proof that sellers can be silly:

We're just checking in to see if you received your order (
A Flame for the Fire
) from Better World Books. If your order hasn't blessed your mailbox just yet, heads are gonna roll in the Mishawaka warehouse! Seriously though, if you haven't received your order or are less than 108.8% satisfied, please reply to this message. Let us know what we can do to flabbergast you with service.
 
Thanks again for your support!
 
Humbly Yours,
 
Indaba (our super-cool email robot)


*snort* Now why can't more companies be like this? The world needs more silliness.

Aww. Sometimes when I order used books some of the invoices they send along have like little smiley faces and everything, but I've never gotten an email like that.

I think I've gotten cute invoices like that, too, but this is the first time I get a follow up e-mail, and such a cute one, too. And they are good sellers.

Hee, very nice. I applaud the use of the word "flabbergast" and the 108.8%. I don't think I've ever seen a follow-up email as cool as that. I just might check out this Better World Books place.

I love the 108.08%. And the super cool e-mail robot. I've dealt with them through Amazon, but apparently they also have their own site. I hadn't bothered googling them until today. Huh.

It's so nice to know that there's room for silliness in the commercial world.

Hee, I love stuff like that! :D Reminds me of the LJ error messages :P

Ha. Apparently heavily armed monkeys are guarding the LJ servers right now. I love this stuff.
