Has anyone else been getting more online orders than usual lately? In the last week I have received three online orders from people I do not know. On two of them, all the information I got was their name and the third was from someone in New York state - I'm in Arkansas! I'm not complaining - a sale is a sale - it just surprised me that I have this little flurry going on. I do wish that they would at least provide an email address so that I could thank them.

I'm just curious if this is happening to others as well.
 
I thought is odd to get an order from Texas when I am Connecticut. I am with you odds yes complaining no way :)
 
I have not had any in months I used to get between $100-$500 every month from people I did not know. I do not like the new lead system.
