I just recieved a xmas tree in the post from some company here at work....

http://www.iomart.com/

Never dealt with them before, don't recall seeing any junk from them before either.

Its a real live tree, ready to be planted. Came in 2nd class post in a tube.....

wtf when did sending live plants 2nd class as advertising become ok to do?

?

Tbh getting a tree/plant would be the first advertisement i´d like !
What´s not "o.k" about it ?
I mean even if you don´t like it, you could still give it away or throw it away

I agree, I think it would be a nice little present in the mail. Hell, send it to me if you don't want it [thumbup]

Count me in as well. I would much rather get that kind of "junk" mail over anything else! [thumbup]

It's not very environmentally friendly.

New form of green advertising, I guess.

Its not a question of really wanting it, tbh we have been looking at getting a tree planted in the garden, and well since getting it and bringing it home, the missis is over the moon at the prospects of a xmas tree in the garden.

It just worrys me that people are sending live tree's in the post......

I can't imagine why...

Its just a tree.. why get worried?

What if the tree is claustrophobic?

I think PETA should start fighting for plant rights as well. This sort of thing is unacceptable.

Honestly I think that's pretty cool.

Just wait til they start sending dead trees

Heh... the amount of junk mail that comes through my mailbox every week, must've been a stupid number of trees I've already received in the post... I would much rather have a live one come like that

**clitlyphype** · 12-13-2008, 03:05 PM

have you considered it may have been sent in error and another party was supposed to get it?
Could also be a scam whereby you're deemed to have accepted it and will shortly be sent a inflated bill for the tree?

First thing I'd do would be to check with the sender, then you should be covered for whatever happens.

lol that would annoy me as well.. I hate little flyers let alone a whole tree.. Getting rid of that is a pain..

**Ephejvll** · 12-14-2008, 01:43 AM

... Or you could spend 5 min and just plant it somewhere..

**zilsolley3** · 12-15-2008, 07:17 PM
