Though I haven't had this happen in a really long time, I process these automatic mailings the same way as ladyrags does. Otherwise you will continue to receive the mailings and bills. Normally the mailings happen when you sign up for a "book of the month" type thing. It even states that a monthly mailing will be sent and if not interested, mail it back. So for me I would return and write discontinue mailings. Good luck

I would call their on line phone service / store and voice your objections. I would also follow it up in writing. I frequently send back unsolicitate offers in their pre paid envelopes with DECLINE TAKE ME OFF YOUR MAILING LIST.

AS FOR THE DVD it is up to your conscience. I have dropped all subscriptions to all the magazines because they are more advertisement then substance and they just repeat the same patterns trying to sell the new fabric lines.

I love quilting but I am tried of paying for a repeat of what I already have.

It's my understanding that if you receive something like this in the mail, that you have not requested, you are under no obligation to pay for it, or even to send it back. Whether you do either is your choice. It doesn't cost them more than a few cents to send these things out, and they'll more than make their money back even if everyone doesn't "pay" for them. It's probably worth it to them to get their products into your home, thinking you'll buy more.

Times must be getting desperate for many businesses. I'm getting many offers for discount subscriptions and memberships, even buy one, get one free coupons at restaurants.

Today in the junk mail pile was a mailing from Fons & Porter. First off, let me say that while I've subscribed to their mag for several years, I had already decided to let my subscription expire. One time through and it gets put away. I never get them back out.

Now this.

I have a DVD inside the envelope. There is a bill for $12.95 and a return envelope. I can either pay or send it back. DUH!! I never asked for them to mail it to me, they can have it back and pay the postage to get it back.

I just don't get it. I think this is a poor way to sell something.

I haven't viewed the DVD yet. I will before I return it. Just not happy with this form of sales.

Did you get one? What do you think?

Joyce,
who needs to fix her siggy here.
