    They're saying it was a "mistake" now and only the two winners were supposed to receive that email and everyone else was supposed to receive a different one.

    Um...why does it say "if your name appears at the bottom of this email" if it was only meant to go to the two winners?

    I just posted in response to the post on their wall:
    I am completely disappointed with Gardening Express. Not only did you send a duplicitous email (which, incidentally, has numerous grammatical and spelling errors), but you also do not have the decency to own up to the fact you ballsed up. It's absolutely abhorrent that you feel it appropriate to mislead your customers in such a way. I do not believe for one second that it was mistakenly sent to the wrong people. The mistake you made is thinking it appropriate to mislead people with a deceiving title. Shame on you.
    :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j

    I got one too, air went blue for a while then I unfollowed and unsubscribed.

    Then they send the email they allege they were supposed to send! I've unsubscribed!! I never want to hear from you again!

    *UPDATE*

    Tweeted the following
    @GardeningExpres Thanks SO MUCH for the ipad email! oh and bye!

    To which I got the reply
    GardeningExpres Gardening Express
    @rejcomp the email was meant for the winner, and went to full list in error. I am sorry

    Got to give them credit for replying personally, but still leaves a bad taste.
