In many cases either the correct email address OR a phone number is needed for delivery. If you buy anything and choose your order to be delivered to a parcel machine (you may not know them in the US, but in my country they are extremely popular as they are super convenient, and it's the preferred method of delivery for many people), you NEED a way to receive the code that allows you to pick up the package at the machine. The code comes via email and via a text message to the specified phone number, so you need at least one of them. Even if the delivery comes via a regular courier, providing your email when placing order is helpful, because 1) usually you get a message with a link that allows you to track your package on the delivery company's website so you know when it's about to be delivered; 2) many delivery companies send you (usually a day before planned delivery) another mail with a link that allows you to eg. redirect the package to another address if you cannot pick it up, or change the delivery date. And because of GDPR (already mentioned in the thread), I actually NEVER see here the cases when email given for transactional purposes is used to spam you, unless you actually checked the box saying that you agree to marketing email when placing your order... Yes, it did happen several years ago, but now nobody will risk fines for GDPR non-compliance. They do it a different way. They often offer a discount if you subscribe to marketing email. Especially cell phone providers and ISPs. It is now almost a "standard" that with typical contract you pay X per month if you don't agree to marketing email, and X-5 or X-10 per month if you do. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa [email protected] -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
