Big changes at Listsource!!!

[Frank Chirkinian]

Well I tried to login to my listsource account the other day and found the account had been canceled.  Now I've been a faithful user of listsource for sometime now for our direct mail campaigns (which complements are others) and I've spent a decent amount of money with them over time, so I was wondering why they would summarily cancel my account without a courtesy call at minimum.  So I called them up and found out that they have now changed their billing policy.  They are now demanding an up-front contract for the year based on an estimated number of records you'll be pulling throughout the year.  They are also demanding upfront payment based on your estimates for the entire amount for that year, and the price per record has gone up to boot.

Is anyone out there using another data service for their direct mail that is as good as Listsource?  If yes, then please let me and the rest of the community know.
