Differences Sweden vs USA
For a couple of month ago I ordered some makeup from a website in the US. When I got the order confirmation, it read like this "we are absolutely thrilled to have you as a customer.." I was startled, what did she mean? Does she know who I am? Or am I her only customer, if it´s so special?
But now I think it was rather nice. In sweden you just get a simple, "Thank you for your order, it will be sent to you in 3-5 days".

Yes you are probably right ; )
It also shows something about peoples temperament, I think.

I agree with what has been said. On the one hand, it can be seen as nice, on the other hand, it is simply a way to try to generate more business. So, they will only be thrilled if you buy more.

Yeah Americans are pretty informal, although personally if I were to get some kind of message like that I wouldn't care because I know the buisiness probably doesn't really care about me. I'm Kinda cynical I guess.

You are right! Americans tend to be more "informal" and "extra-nice" when it comes to customers because it has become a part of the whole "consumerism" culture. In India too it is spreading so fast that we find ourselves left behind if we do not update ourselves with this kind of culture where you say it so much in words and actually your aim is to trap the customer.
