What I've Discovered About Online Ordering - Sometimes

Over the past several months as I've ordered parts and tools online I have discovered that when I select a part or a tool from certain websites (today from Sears) is that when I place an item in my cart and not go to Checkout, I usually get an email the next day that states the following or similar:
.
"We noticed you left items in your shopping cart. If you had any problems during checkout, please contact a Specialist who will be happy to help you.

As a special thank you we would like to offer you 15% off your next order.

Use promo code XXXXXXX to activate your discount."
.
This particular discount code this morning gave me $12 off my Sears order.
I discovered this phenom by accident a few months ago and have rec'd 4 discounts since. My original intent was not to bamboozle a company but rather that I just wasn't sure that I wanted the item/s. But last night I intentionally did not Checkout and left my computer on with the Sears order page showing - just to see what may happen.
Anyway, there you go.
Happy Shopping.
