i have a feeling you may have a package being delivered. (im just speculating)
Yeah, I did the same. I then proceeded to block them and never purchased anything from them again.
Unsubscribe and if they’re still emailing you, mark them as spam. Then signup for something like SimpleLogin
I think reporting as spam though something like Gmail actually hurts, because Gmail will block the address as a whole if they get enough spam reports.
Wayfair isn’t going to get enough spam reports for Google to block them.
I purchased a new domain just for creating aliases with SimpleLogin. I have over 300 email aliases now. If any start spamming I simply delete the alias. Also if I get unrelated emails I know exactly which website leaked or sold my email address.
The survey fatigue is real. Everyone keeps begging for reviews nowadays. Even random things like public parking.
I grow resentment to any business begging for reviews. Hire a consultant and third party to auction your service, I’m not doing it for free anymore.
I just have separate accounts for this type of shit. It’s not a problem
I do the same thing, but you do realize you do it -because- it’s a problem, right?
Like you shouldn’t need a separate email for “I want to buy this/sign up for this, but I know I’m going to get a fuckton of emails so I need to use this separate email address to protect my main one from junk”. That just shouldn’t be a thing.
I run a catchall account. Every vendor gets [vendor]@myemail
Stops spam, stops data theft, stops phishing stops data brokers. Makes tracking data on me useless.
To be honest, it works so well, I can’t imagine not having it.
I mean maintaining a junkmail account isn’t a problem.
I never worry about deleting things, I never get unwanted notifications I never worry about it. Ez

Never buy anything from AliExpress then. Make one order but from 2 sellers and you get around 20 emails and they are not even helpful emails they are basically just ads.

You can disable those in your account settings. It’s pretty simple.
