What a great way to increase they're likes. Delay the form.

Form seems to be on FB (there's a link for it in the sidebar), no luck.

Yep! I got lucky, I guess. After I allowed the app, a page came up and I was able to auto fill my address before the image even displayed...

No identifying information about how many left in the email... sorry...

I got to the point of allowing the app but then got an error

Just another example of a company not understanding the power of social media marketing. Throw an offer of free $25 out there---but first come, first served---and we all act like piranhas.

They should be smarter and make a game, or offer $25 rebate on Fedex shipping. But this was stupid because many of us are now unhappy to have wasted 45 mins or more...
