I love so much about this email. FedEx is an international company and instead of doing FedEx.ng or whatever, they use throwaway email accounts from Brazil and a reply to address from China. If you pick up the phone you will be racking up the minutes to Nigeria.
I really love how Gmail chooses to let this one slide (2nd in a week) past the normally perfect spam filters.

  1. I also love how 3 working days is calculated as 62 hours – fair play to them, these guys work pretty long hours

  2. Thanks for posting this. Now I don’t have to bother opening mine. My Gmail spam filter has been failing me more than usual lately. It makes me sad, but it’s still better than any other free email account I’ve had.
