Complain.
No, really. Complaining has an undeserved bad reputation. Nothing is going to change unless people complain. Of course, even if people complain, most likely nothing will happen anyway. But at least they'd know there is a problem, and that customers are angry.

"Politely"
Always start off polite - it's not the fault of the poor support person on the other end - they are probably as fed up with the situation as you are, given that they get it in the neck from angry customers all day long.
You can get rude any time from then on, but starting polite does two useful things:
1) It shocks the support people which can "break" them from the pre-ordained script and into doing something nice for you.
2) It confuses them since nobody is ever nice to them

You should have a special mail address to be used only in those cases...

Even better is bricks and mortar retailers that say they now only email receipts. You pay for a $20 item in cash and they claim you can't have a receipt without providing an email address.

What, you order something from them, and they're not allowed to store your address?
Fine. You pay for it, and I'll phone them up and give them my address.
"Thank you for registering" is probably just the wording that came in the software package they bought to handle their shopping cart. Read it as "Thank you for letting us add your delivery details to our database, so that the delivery company can access it when they put your stuff in the van".

I arrived out here yesterday. UPS has just delivered my BeagleBone Black Rev C this morning at home. Last week my Logi Boards (one for RasPi, one for BB, a Logi camera and a Logi EDU card) arrived as well.
I had previously ordered one months ago, but due to the shortages and the timeframes involved, Farnell cancelled the order (this was back in the Rev A stage)
There is a massive worldwide shortage of BeagleBone Blacks, and I happened to notice Adafruit had stock, limiting shipping only 1 per customer. So rather than wait weeks/months for them to be available in the UK, I ordered on from the States thinking it would take a couple of weeks. Ordered it at the weekend. It was good to watch it bounce in and out of the the UPS depots as it progressed across the pond.
The only think now is, don't know where it has been delivered to, as don't recognise the proof of delivery name. Must be one of my neighbours, either that someone has just gained a BB (or the wife has been popping the milkman!)

That's annoying. I actually have two of them (one running Ubuntu, the other Debian), got one a couple months ago, and then my client sent my the Rev C version that has more memory and Debian installed, but I had to flash a clean version of Debian onto it anyways because the one that it came with wouldn't actually boot.
My current challenge is to figure out how to get the devices for this[^] (and it's peripheries, it looks a bit like the ISS sitting on my desk with all the gizmos attached) to work with Debian. The device driver examples are for Angstrom, and it the path names are all different and most don't exist in Debian. And there's a dearth of dev bloggers out there for this particular cape.
It was amusing putting Ruby on Rails and Postgres on a BBB and actually using it as a local web server. Worked, but a bit slow.

I got mine a while back, it was tough there were shortages but managed to sneak one through. Then when I got it and had problems with it but turned out to be operator error.
Since then I've been traveling and haven't had much time to play with it. Had 3K photos to process and I'm still not done, I just about get caught up then go out and take a bunch more. But got some good looking photos some I've enlarged and framed.
If first you don't succeed, hide all evidence you ever tried!

Is there a VS template out there that can create a new (appropriate) MEF extension project within a solution and allow the programmer to select the desired export interface to support?
BTW, MEF is pretty handy when you have a bunch of disparate functionality to add to a WPF app in the form of UserControl s when you don't want to have to redeploy the whole application.

I had problems with VS and the xaml file of the WPF user control. I just used normal notepad++ for the editing of the control and finally to check if everything is fine - the designer of VS.
It is interesting to see that in this case notepad++ is faster than the VS with the modification of the xaml file.
