On the 6th of April 2009, I emailed the CEO of Zappos, Tony Hsieh, about his excellent presentation at the Startup2Startup event. I followed it up with another email with regards to the Zappos Culture Book. In other words I wanted to see why Tony (Zappos) was on Oprah. 
Sent on 7th April:
“Thanks alot Tony
Is it possible for a Zappos Culture Book? Would love to read it. Electronic one maybe?
Willing to pay for shipping?
Address: Khalil Aleker, 43 Doreen Road, Rylands, 7764, Cape Town, South Africa
Thanks so much,
Khalil Aleker”
Tony emailed me within 30 minutes or less:
“Thanks for your email! We’ll be sending out the culture book to
you right away and you should be receiving it within the next few
days.

Inside my Zappos Culture Book
Next time you’re in the Las Vegas area, be sure to stop by our
offices for a tour! Our headquarters are located right next to the
airport. Tours take about an hour and are available on any weekday
(we recommend Mondays through Thursdays when there are more people
in the office), and we have a free Zappos shuttle service that can
pick you up from the airport or your hotel and then drop you off
afterwards. To schedule a tour, just email Jerry Tidmore at:
jtidmore@zappos.com
Hope you enjoy the culture book, and please let me know if there’s
anything else I can do for you!
My Zappos Culture Book
Yesterday I received my Zappos Culture Book. Now is that Customer Service or what? We all should put ALOT of ZAPPOS in our day…not a little.
To the Zappos CEO and the team… I have no words… I salute you and all the best.
