Verification eMail Never Arrives

I have been trying to buy Minecraft for over a week. I go to minecraft.net, I select to buy. It indicates I should create an account. I did. Then, I select to buy, it says I need to verify my email per the email that was sent. It is never received. I have tried many times by asking it to resend. It does not got to my spam folder and the email address is correct.

I have subsequently bought a code card from Walmart thinking this might help. But, apparently, I need to essentially go through the same process with the email verification to use the code card.

I have tried to find an email address for support. None found.
I have tried to use the forum, same problem with email verification.
I have tried to find a phone number, none found.
I have tried appealing for help via your facebook page, and twitter.

I know thousands of people are playing Minecraft and I must be doing something stupid. But, I can't figure it out.
