WT please fire your marketing people. I’ve received “specials” emails every day since the I made one purchase. Nobody needs that many floor mats. Trying to unsub, the page loads with so many trackers and other crap that it crashes because of my ad-blocker and DNS filter.
I was able to make it work in Librewolf but this is the kind of thing that drives away customers.
I can’t remember the service but I had to disconnect from my VPN to unsubscribe
OK, but you’re not saying that was your fault, right?
Send them an E-Mail and threaten legal actions. That usually shuts them down pretty quickly
I always use email aliases when I buy something on the internet, and 90% of the time they send me an email I don’t want to see afterwards. I just pause them on my alias service because unsubscibe system might fail like this, intentionally or unintentionally.
I never give away my real email address. Almost everyone’s a spammer and fuck them.
- If you use a public email provider, mark the emails as spam.
- Set an email filter to delete all their emails. And if you’re mad, also add a forward to some of their addresses.
- Email every single email address you can find on their website that they should remove your email address from their system. I live in the EU so I always mention GDPR, which they are required to follow if they wish to do any business with people from the EU. There’s similar laws in other countries.
- If the senders email address is not a “noreply” email address, reply with “UNSUBSCRIBE”.
- If the website uses an email service such as mailchimp, mark them as “I never signed up for this”. If a lot of people do this they might get in trouble.

These are my default solutions for spam like this.
It is an absolute PITA to keep an email server on the “nice” list so your company’s email traffic doesn’t get spam filtered by every service provider, and the major services (gmail, outlook, etc) are all federating their spam filter lists so many times if you get blocked on one you get blocked on all. There is so much spam to deal with that the filtering is highly automated and there’s little human oversight.
The point being, it could only take a handful of incidents reporting a company’s email as spam to ruin their reputation and result in email from their domain getting automatically filtered everywhere. So, you know, if they don’t support an easy way to unsubscribe then they are in fact behaving like spammers, so flag them and let them deal with having their domain blacklisted.
Email every single email address you can find…
The “there’s always an inbox open somewhere” approach to dealing with messages from accounts that don’t accept replies. Make it less annoying to solve the problem than to leave it unsolved and like magic, it gets fixed.

“Report Issue” button doesn’t work. Neither in Chrome. Even better, if it’s to send the form you painstackingly filled already.
I can’t remove my accounts from Experian, the credit score provider. I got a free account from them after they gave my social security number away on accident. Now I can’t remove my bank accounts from them, because “unknown error occurred!”
I’m pretty sure this (a broken unsubscribe flow) is against the CAN-SPAM act in the USA. If you can’t get it working, email legal@ and complain.
To be honest, Weathertech’s floor mats aren’t even that good. They’re okay, but I much prefer Tuxmat, which are a similar price but feel higher quality and usually have much better coverage. Lasfit is also good, if you want something a bit cheaper.
When people say floor mats, what other types of mats are they trying to differentiate from?
Trunk/boot mats. Those are usually pretty similar across brands - they don’t differ as much as the floor mats do.
The unsubscribe button from audiobooksnow.com gives me a 404. I’m guessing that’s not by accident. Fuck them, never buy from them unless you want a bunch of spam
This is why I use email aliases.
Prob one of your extensions
I’d still put that on the web devs. It’s a simple unsubscribe form, should be able to survive an ad blocker without imploding.
Oh. You’d be surprised the cluster-f#k you have to deal with as a web dev. I can’t tell you how many times I had to fix sh#t that Ad-companies screwed up with their dumb inject scripts. They are so aggressive… no wonder anyone should block them at any cost.
My favorite bug caused by ads-scripts was, that no customer could check out anymore as their stupid scripts removed any nested scrollbars
Fellow member of the “have dealt with that bullshit” club, happy to leave it behind.
My point exactly. Take my unsubscribe and act on it, people. Nothing needs to be on the page but that.
