[02:46:01pm] Sales has joined. Status is online.
[02:47:08pm] Rita has joined. Status is outtolunch.
[02:47:08pm] you:

You dropped ads on Rush I just dropped you. Good luck getting CHEAP liberals with a keybaord to replace good long time customers. I can buy vitamans, etc. elsewhere. Can you get back your old customers?! HELL NO!

[02:47:42pm] Rita:
We’d like to address an issue with our radio ads — one of which aired on the Rush Limbaugh radio show. To put it frankly, Mr. Limbaugh’s recent comments have been unsettling, and many of our fans have voiced concern that Vitacost endorses these views. These comments are definitely not in line with our brand values, and in listening to our fans we’ve decided to remove our advertising from the program.

[02:49:05pm] you:
They aren’t your fans! It is an organized political campaign against Rush. They aren’t even your customers! It is all over the internet! Maybe you should figure out you just screwed up BIG TIME!

[02:50:17pm] you:
What exactly are ‘

[02:50:30pm] Rita:
I do apologize for the frustration this has caused. As stated before this is currently be addressed.
[02:50:44pm] you:

YOUR VALUES?! LIES put out by a political campaign?!!
[02:51:29pm] you:

Like I said GOOD LUCK getting customers to replace those who listened to Rush and actually bought your products!

02:52:54pm] Rita:
Your concerns are being taken into consideration. Is there anything else that I could assist you with?

[02:53:02pm] you:
You are fools...really BIG FOOLS!

All of these vendors better have a good shareholder story when their revenues slip this quarter....rush has a big and loyal reach...you’ll be sorry.... hope you can make up for your lost revenue with 30 year old college coeds struggling to pay for their ‘birth control’....

My (formerly) favorite supplement supplier, Vitacost, announced it is pulling sponsorship from Rush's show.

Never heard of them on Rush's program, they must be a local advertiser.

Do you have any bulk food outlets such as Sams's Club or Costco? Do you shop in a local Vitacost store or over the internet?

I mostly use luckyvitamin.com anymore, but I will go ahead and unsubscribe from vitacost emails now.

I am a customer of this company. I just sent them this message:

I am very dissapointed that you have dropped Rush’s program. I am one of your long-time customers and I may have to drop you.

Did you need assistance with this order?

[04:17:21pm] you:

I just wanted to know if you could verify my orders from the last year: April 1, 2011 through today. I looked through my account and I’ve spent $1133.45. Can you verify this?

[04:17:49pm] Jennifer :

Sure. It will be a few moments while calculate this for you.

[04:17:55pm] you:

Thanks!

[04:22:11pm] Jennifer :

It will be just a few more moments please.

[04:24:54pm] Jennifer :

Thank you for your patience. I apologize for the delay. Including telephone orders that are not housed on the website, I see total orders coming to $1383.6 from April 1, 2011 - March 5, 2012.

[04:27:20pm] you:

Thank you. I want the proper info ready because I am emailing an official complaint regarding Vitacost dropping their ads from the Rush Limbaugh show. I want the company to know exactly how much business they are losing. Is there a canned response from Vitacost regarding their actions?

[04:27:43pm] Jennifer :

We’d like to address an issue with our radio ads — one of which aired on the Rush Limbaugh radio show. To put it frankly, Mr. Limbaugh’s recent comments have been unsettling, and many of our fans have voiced concern that Vitacost endorses these views.

[04:28:04pm] Jennifer :

That is our official statement regarding this matter.

[04:29:28pm] you:

Values? Wow. What about the values that Fluke is endorsing. Thank you for the info. Please no longer consider us customers.

[04:29:45pm] Jennifer :

You’re very welcome. Thank you for contacting Vitacost.com and have a nice day.

[04:29:46pm] Jennifer has left.

[04:29:46pm] Session Ended.

Finally, someone on the long list of advertisers that I can boycott. Not having done any business, nor having planned to do any business, with Sleep Train, QuickenLoans, Carbonite, ProFlowers, etc - I'd have been deceitful if I contacted those Companies and told them that their decision to succumb to leftist agitators caused me to take my business elsewhere. Not so with Vitacost. I'll send them an email. Besides, internet discount vitamin shops are a dime a dozen.

Been using them for years. Economical, with good results.

I sell liquid vitamins and have been taking them for about 10 years as well as my family. Body Balance is the base product. It's a multi vitamin/mineral/amino acid. Lots of good products. http://www.lifeforce.net/8070701. We need a place for all FReepers who have a business. Any ideas?

I am crushed over this. I have literally spent thousands of dollars there, just in the last 12 months! OMG. I just sent them a goodbye letter.

How truly disappointing.

Add me to the list of Swanson Vitamins fans. I’ve recently been splitting my orders between them and Vitacost, but no more. Swanson all the way. I emailed Vitacost to inform them I am no longer a customer.
