That's one hell of a sticker.

Had an interesting purchasing experience over the past month. I ordered a couple of patches from Patchworks on line. I think they are just a clearing house or broker for people all over the world who make patches. I got one from New Hampshire right away. my address was hand-written on an extra long envelope and had regular postage stamps.
The other one was sent from Tailand ( or mebbe Taiwan) and came after three weeks. Now this one had my address machine stamped on it, but again thru regular mail. I almost threw the envelope away thing it was a scam, But sure enough the patch was in there.
Two totally different quality patches though. The "made in USA one" (I think) was pretty much what I expected. The Thai one is made from cheaper material IMHO.
And the one place I don't shop at is Wally World.

Maybe you should write them a letter?
(I'm being serious, not flippant btw)

I do it with my clients, whenever someone buys or sells a house with me, I write them a letter, in script (joined up writing) with a fountain pen, to say thank you. It goes out in the post in a hand addressed envelope. It is INCREDIBLY powerful, in this day and age, they all ring up and say that they are amazed that I could be bothered. Five minutes of my time, to make a bond and secure future business, bargain! Also makes sure that I don`t lose the skill of writing in script.

 Because Lewis Leathers wrote me a nice letter thanking me for my order, I thought it only right and proper to reply. Which I did, using a fountain pen and writing paper with a watermark in it. The only thing missing was some sealing wax! I felt warmly satisfied afterwards, as I hadn't written a letter in ages!

Not since my nan died.
Unless you count forms posted to the DVLA?
But letters do make more of an impact than emails, precisely for that reason.
