I like Garmin GPS products. I have one in my car, one on my bicycle and one on my wrist every time I go running. They are easy-to-use and well-designed.
Too bad I can't say the same about the latest holiday email promotion from Garmin. It says that you can get free shipping IF you call and order by phone. I'll let that soak in...
<pause>
Yep. Garmin will give you free shipping if and only if you call their Chicago store (huh?), which is NOT toll free, and talk to them. OR you can send them an email. Double huh?
Um - thank you, no. I'll order the same thing from about 500 vendors who will let me order online without the sales pitch and will ship it for free.
Garmin is so good at helping people find their way. How did they lose theirs on this one?
