Hagens Bees

Very apt on this topic.....

I went to buy a guitar strap priced at £1.
The guy started doing exactly this.
I told him it would cost him £5 for my details.
He lost a £1 !

Thats what I have done

Me too. Hagens emailed me today. I bought a couple of ekes from BE over a year ago, and I feel that if Hagens [having done any sort of deal with them BE]it's a grey area. I did not give BE permission to pass my data to any third party [which should include anyone taking their business over and trading under a different name]. Any more emails from Hagens will simply go into Spam. If I don't like a company's business ethics, I suspect their products, too. So I don't trade with them.
If BE, who had my data, were selling out to another trader would it not have been a better advertisement to email all existing customers to give notice and offer customers the option of unsubscribing at that point? Simon the Beekeeper [Caldwell] did just that - so I am happy to hear from the successor trader from Lancashire - who retain the same business name.

I received the email too. I will buy from them if it’s in my interests to do so. I had bought from the previous company and I’m not overly bothered about being mailed by Hagen.
The emails that really bug me are all gambling/casino related - something I’ve never done. I block them over and over again and I’ve discovered whilst the main company name may be blocked, I receive it again and again, each time seemingly via a pseudo email address, listed directly beneath the company name. I also block that address but on and on it goes…..
