Long story, actually. I sent a money order to get this puzzle from White Mountain Puzzles, and they sent me an email (they must've had my email address on file from back when I submitted the sweepstakes card that was included in the puzzle from Cabela's, and THAT'S why we don't send in sweepstakes cards, folks) to say they wouldn't ship the puzzle until I gave them my phone number.
What if they hadn't had the email address? Would they have replied by snail mail to demand the phone number?
WHY should they have it anyway? They're shipping the puzzle, not faxing it! They have the money and the address and that's all they need.
We went round and round until I told the bastards to send me back the money order.
I was gonna just leave bad reviews all over the internet etc, oh, haha like I've got time to do that.
Anyway they wanted $17 for that puzzle plus shipping, and here it was at Costco for $10. Cool.
And here is Dave all finished with it.
