Glen Campbell, B.A.
This is crazy. Instead of driving two cars to Texas this summer, I wanted to see how much it would cost to ship one of them. I went to a car shipping website, asked for a quote. Within 30 seconds after I hit Enter, I received at least six emails from various car shipping companies. Within five minutes, I got four (annoying) phone calls.

The same thing happened to me when I did a search for car insurance a couple years ago. I am still getting emails.

Luckily, I used a throwaway email address, so I can block them.

The real question is...is all this competition driving down pricing?
- Josh Haley
What's strange is that I wasn't expecting competition. It looks like just one company's site.

Glen, hope you are using a Google Voice number. That really helps in such cases.

Yup, I am

Ugh. The same thing happened to me looking for health insurance and looking for limo services in Vegas. If I had known they were farm sites, I would have stayed away.
