Never seen anything like it!

I ordered a sample of personalised wedding favours from a seller on eBay last night. This morning I had this message...
This is just a little note to say hello,
And thank you for your order,
Your payment and the details too,
Leave nothing left to ponder.

We appreciate your custom,
And we think you've chosen well,
For we won't let you down at all,
Your fears you can dispel.

Our machines are working overtime,
In a fusion of paper and ink,
We're putting together your order,
And our team are working in sync.

We'll let you know it's on its way,
You can relax and now tick your list,
We know that to you it is an important time,
And we are pleased we could assist.

But if we can help in the meantime,
With anything that may be the matter,
We'll respond to you as soon as we can,
Our door you won't have to batter.

How lovely!

    That's just what I was thinking- I can also imagine they have a little lap dog they refer to as 'their baby'

    I would have said the same, but they have just under 20,000 feedback at 100% and 5 stars across the board!

    I think it's nice :)
    One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.

    I think it's nice too. It's a little twee, but the sentiment is fine.

    I wouldn't mark them down on it.

    And if you spot a typo
    When they're printed it's too late
    But we're also selling Tippex
    And we'll give you a good rate!

    Well so far so good, I ordered on Monday evening and I had an email yesterday afternoon saying the item had been dispatched. Bearing in mind the item is personalised. I'm happy with the service so far.

    I'm guessing they're love hearts - I think I had the same message last year!
