Emails from Digikey in Chinese "customer excellence program"

<< < (4/5) > >>

Never in my buying from Digikey i ever got a 1 penny discount. Either this is BS or i am not an important customer  :-DD
And what the heck is "Full discount", though it may be a translation quirk.

What can I say? I have never ordered from Digikey but I got the email.

Then again, a couple of days ago, I ran a tracert against them because of a post elsewhere on EEVBlog.

Yes, this is the one I received today as well, Oscar Wong.

There seems to be some debate about the legitimacy of the original email.  Digikey says it is legitimate:


In further correspondence with Digikey, I have the impression there is very little concern over the sharing of clients' personal information versus selling that information.  In other words, the customer service agent assured me the information was not "sold." Frankly, I don't care whether Digikey sells it per se.  What I am concerned about is the sharing with its "partners."  We all know a "partner" can be any entity that asks for it.

I consider my email and anything else related to me as my information.  Sharing with entities unknown to me is compromising it, so far as I am concerened.

My question too.  Buy high, sell low, and make a profit on the volume. ;)
