    I recently bought a new release at bowhunterssupplystore.com It shipped in just a few days and I have no complaints about the transaction. But, today I recieved 6, yes 6, magazine subscription letters in the mail. They are all hunting and outdoors related. I have never gotten that many before and I am starting to think that maybe that website sold my info to these companies... Has anyone else had this happen when making a purchase from this site? It may not be related but this is the only company I have done business with recently.

    I have not been spammed after purchasing from bowhunting.com.

    You might want to look at the privacy policy on the website. Every company needs to have one that deals with consumers I believe. They have to disclose what they do with your information. I would be curious what they say.

    If that policy says that they do not sell your information I would call the companies that sent you the spam stuff and ask where they got your info from.

    I got a golf magazine when I bought some golf stuff online. But on the bottom of the ebay page it said that it comes with a free subscription. Just in small print. Maybe there was some small print somewhere that you missed.

    Im sure I missed somewhere it said we are going to send you a ton of junk mail with every purchase.

    And I hear you guys loud and clear...bowhunting.com Ill buy from here next time if they have what Im looking for (unfortunately this time they didn't have the release).

    FWIW, I've called Justin when I wanted something I didn't see listed. Quite often he can get it even if its not on the site. He even got me muzzleloader supplies, fast and inexpensive too!
