I love a company that has fun...

I occasionally order music from CD Baby, which has a great selection of independent artists. They have a great selection of bay area groups, and often I can get a CD or two from them after I hear a group I really like around town. Last week I ordered a copy of Gary Jules' Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets, and when they shipped it CD Baby sent me this message:

Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow. A team of 50 employees inspected your CD and polished it to make sure it was in the best possible condition before mailing. Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy. We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of Portland waved 'Bon Voyage!' to your package, on its way to you, in our private CD Baby jet on this day, Friday, March 26th. I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did. Your picture is on our wall as 'Customer of the Year'. We're all exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!

I really love a company that can have fun, and not take itself too seriously.
