Time To Send a Well-Deserved Message….
When my friends, Kit and Heidi from Euphoric Reality, told me about this, I was stunned.
From ER’s site:
One of our soldiers emailed a retailer in West Allis, Wisconsin, inquiring whether they could ship floor mats to an APO address. The NCO wanted to buy better gear for his troops to sleep on. You won’t believe the company’s response*. (Their email address is included below, if you’d like to let the company know what you think of their business.):

Sent: Tue Jan 16 3:25Do you ship to APO address? I’m in the 1st Cavalry Division stationed in Iraq and we are trying to order some mats but we are looking for who ships to APO first.

We do not ship to APO addresses, and even if we did, we would NEVER ship to Iraq. If you were sensible, you and your troops would pull out of Iraq.Bargain Suppliers

I thought it had to be one of those hoaxes that we all get behind emotionally to either combat or support. However, this one is apparently no joke. And my response to them will also be “no joke.”

This has also been verified by Snopes. Not that they’re the be-all/end-all, but to me if it’s made it to Snopes, at least some verification has been done on the subject.
Folks, this is a call to arms, so to speak, on this matter. Boycott doesn’t even cut it. We need to make sure this business has NO business, no customers who want to buy from them anymore, and all the negative publicity they can get. Are you ready to get busy on this one? It’s already starting.
And our friend Texas Fred has done a little more digging. Although the site is currently down due to technical difficulties, here’s what Fred found out.
The company’s domain is registered to:
