Wayfair drops Ingraham sponsorship (response I got from them is awesome)

[marble falls]

1. Sounds way fair to me.

[EffieBlack]

2. GREAT response!

[Phentex]

3. I thought about this...

not just boycotting because it may be hard to boycott something you don't use, but just writing and giving feedback. I think it works, too.

[flibbitygiblets]

4. It's incredibly helpful to TELL companies you're boycotting them

I sent an email to their customer service department this morning, and got their response within a couple of hours. I am sure I was one of thousands that deluged their inboxes today.

Same thing happened with O'Reilly's sponsors, just barrage the sponsors with threats to boycot their products, and the "free market" does the rest.

David Hogg knew that already though...kid's gonna have some nice job offers the second he gets out of college.

[Phentex]

6. It's true what they say

people who oppose these kids are on the wrong side of history.

Even my long time so called Republican friend is all for sensible gun control and NO assault weapons. I almost asked her if she was sick or something, lol.

[BigmanPigman]

8. I ALWAYS do that.

What is the point if a boycott unless the advertisers know specifically WHY you are doing it in the first place?

[Skittles]

5. now THAT is how you bite back

with the TRUTH

[IluvPitties]

7. Excellent!

9. Any company that will go into details about sofa forts

can be expected to step up and do the right thing. Scroll all the way down and click on Sofa Fort, Read More.

10. LOL! Sitting on my Wayfair couch feeling pretty great right now!

And good to know about those forts--the illustrations are fantastic.

[Lars39]

13. Aren't they, though!

We didn't buy our couch from them, but we did get a few other things.

[CTyankee]

14. Wayfair was great for us when we were replacing furniture and getting new mattresses in our home.

Nice memories...

[Lars39]

15. We're slowly furnishing a small apartment.

Been really happy with their stuff so far.

[raven mad]

21. That is awesome fun!!

Glad I won't have to boycott!

[Lars39]

27. Me, too!

[KT2000]

48. that is great!

sent it to some relatives - new customers?

[mgardener]

11. Just sent them

A thank you note.
Sent a note to Bayer earlier this afternoon, they have not responded.

[Honeycombe8]

12. Great response! I think that calls for buying some little something from Wayfair!

I bought a cabinet from them years ago. Good little cabinet. Still have it.

I found their rugs too expensive...I bought a rug around Christmas time and found the best prices on WalMart online and Overstock.com (Overstock doesn't charge sales tax).

But I still need a few smaller items. I'll take a look at Wayfair and see what it has.

[calimary]

44. I imagine they'll get more business for doing this.

As they should. May that be a cautionary tale for the other media mean-girl types out there. I hope Ingraham gets fired. And blacklisted!

[Honeycombe8]

50. +1. nt

[NastyRiffraff]

16. Excellent, and thanks for writing to them

On a separate note: Thank GOD! I love Wayfair. Free shipping!

[Cha]

30. I had to look them up

.. never heard of them before.

https://www.wayfair.com/

Thanks, Riff

[NastyRiffraff]

34. Highly recommended

If you need furnishings & decor, you can't beat them. Decent prices and free shipping. Now I sound like an ad!

Cha

[Cha]

35. Free shipping over

$50.. you probably had a lot to buy, right?

17. Did anyone get through to Arby's?

I filled out the contact form but was unable to submit it.

[flibbitygiblets]

20. I sent them an email at the address below

Luke DeRouen
Sr. Director, Brand Communications & Partnerships

[e-mail]

[SCVDem]

22. Since I have zero

Social media accounts, (a good thing it seems), all the @ is useless to me. Like the #.

Thank you though.

[flibbitygiblets]

23. Do you have email? That's the email address of an Arby's PR official

I don't use social media either.

[Leith]

24. I Was Required to Have an E-mail Account to Sign Up Here

if memory serves me right... Do you not have e-mail? That's what the @ means.

[SCVDem]

25. D'Oh

I filled out their online form but it did not go through.
I'll try again from a full size keyboard at home.

I like Arby's and hope they stop adverts on her show.

[askyagerz]

18. Nice!

[samplegirl]

19. I emailed them

Today!

[workinclasszero]

26. Brownshirt Laura has a sad

[Cha]

28. Wow Wayfair nailed it!

Mahalo, flibbitygiblets

[trueblue2007]

29. Oh.... Poor FAUX TV Host, Laura Ingram has a Sad.

Oh.... Poor FAUX TV Host, Laura Ingram has a Sad.
On Twitter, she pours mean/ hate speech on a teenager who was victim of gun slaughter at his school and her tv show advertisers are LEAVING her program.
Poor, poor Laura.
MAYBE SHE WILL THINK NEXT TIME TO NOT BE MEAN TO KIDS !!!

[Freddie]

31. Love Wayfair

Got our TV stand/cabinet, headboard and dining room chandelier from them. Great service, great prices and incredibly vast selection. Hmmm, we need a storage cabinet in the bathroom...

[flibbitygiblets]

41. I've been very impressed with their products as well

Since late last year, we've bought a power reclining sofa, a davenport loveseat, lift-top padded coffee table, ottoman and some gorgeous pillows. Really happy with everything we've purchased. Their selection is incredible, prices are very reasonable, and free shipping.

[Freddie]

42. And returns are simple

Bought 2 chandeliers to see which one we liked better and returned one. Free shipping on return, all papers provided, simply drop off at nearest UPS place.

[summer_in_TX]

32. Wayfair is new to me.

But I LOVE the sofa fort page. I'll have to look and see if there might be something we need on their site.

[Mariana]

33. "...on this particular program..."

So they're still going give Fox News Channel money to run their ads, just not on this one particular program.

Big deal. You want me to buy from you again, Wayfair? Don't buy any ads on Fox News Channel, for any of their hateful programming.

[erronis]

43. I saw that also and had the same thoughts. However, every bit helps and gets the message out there.

[Mariana]

46. Yes, but what does it accomplish really?

Wayfair is still sponsoring hate and lies, as are all of the other sponsors. Fox News Channel shuffles around the ads and makes just as much money as they did before. If it goes on too long, they fire Ingraham and replace her with someone who is just as vile, and all these advertisers leap on board sponsor the new hate show.

Don't get me wrong, I love seeing someone like Ingraham crash and burn, but the only reason she was there on teevee and radio spreading hate in the first place is because companies like Wayfair paid her to do it.

[Nitram]

36. Well done!!!!!

[mnhtnbb]

37. Good for them! I have been buying things from Wayfair

for my new apartment. So far I'm pleased. Guys who put together a small kitchen island had a problem with the drawer and Wayfair has shipped me a new drawer. No hassle. Their customer service is excellent, unlike the local (High Point) well known huge furniture store which didn't order all the pieces of a modular armoire. Had it in storage for 2 months, showed up in the last 15 minutes of a 5 hour delivery window, realized they had only one leg, and then their customer service took almost 2 weeks to order the 2nd leg after I kept calling and emailing to ask them when the manufacturer was shipping the missing leg and their customer service would never respond to my phone messages or emails. It's 3 weeks later and I'm still waiting for the 2nd leg which was finally ordered last week. I'll never buy anything from this local business again.

[efhmc]

38. Thank you for sharing this. My letter to them:

I was not even aware of your company until someone posted your response to their protest letter. Curious, I went to your website and was pleasantly surprised at your quality merchandise and plan to order very soon. I am in the market for a small chair or loveseat sofa. Thanks again for understanding what is important .

[flibbitygiblets]

39. Way to go efhmc! Voting with our voices and dollars is something we can all do every day.

Unless Russian bots start buying furniture and pet food, this seems like a very effective strategy.

[efhmc]

40. Funny. I still don't know how to spot a bot on Twitter,

but I do not engage in conversation with trumpsters.

[paulkienitz]

45. dissing David Hogg is the least and mildest of Ingraham's offenses

What they should have said was, "the decision of an adult to spend an entire career acting as an enabler for racists and homophobes is not consistent with our values."

[sandensea]

47. One - and done!

[colorado_ufo]

49. Like their jingle:

"Wayfair you are just what I need!"
