It's not bad but it's almost certainly illegal.


In that event I'll keep my eyes opened for the "Owner's in the Pokey" Elbox sale event.

Is this really illegal in your country? If so, commercial advertising must really be frowned upon. :-?

Elbox isn't calling me up and interrupting my dinner pitching a free trip to Zimbabwe. They're celebrating something legitimate. If they want to have a sale for Christmas in July that's their prerogative. If other companies can't compete that's their problem, not Elbox's.

Make their sales pitch illegal and you'll be creating a law that single-handedly criminalizes just about every marketing department in the civilized world. It ain't gonna happen.

Besides, there are bigger problems to be concerned over than a company finding a somewhat strange reason to be offering free shipping. ;-)
