How to White List HRDQstore Email

HRDQstore Image | How to whitelist HRDQ email

E-mail software and internet service providers (ISP) now use artificial intelligence to block spam. Sometimes these systems do a great job, and other times, not so much. Help us reach your inbox every time by white listing our sending addresses. 

How to ensure you get our email messages

You don't want to miss an important message or special offer. Here's what you can do to help us get through to you.

Our email comes from @HRDQ.com, @hrdqstore.com, and @hrdqu.com. Whitelisting all of these is a good start.

  1. Add us to your address book or contact list. Create a new contact in your address book for HRDQ and add our three sending emails info@hrdqstore.com, info@hrdq.com, and info@hrdqu.com. This almost always ensures delivery.
  2. Open any of our email and click a link. Yes, your ISP is watching. If you don't open your email from us and click a link now and then, they assume you don't want email from us.
  3. Look for us in your spam bin. If by chance we end up in the spam bin, find the "This is not spam" button in your email system and click it. Adding us back to your inbox will tell your ISP we're not junk.
  4. Ask your IT department for assistance. Some organizations have a server level spam blocker. We may be stuck there. Give them a ring and ask if they can un-stuck us.

A big thank you in advance for helping us maintain high email deliverability!

Of course, we don't wish to send you email you don't want. At the bottom of every email from us you'll find an unsubscribe link so you can quickly and easily opt out. You won't hurt our feelings (much) and you can always re-subscribe later.
