Same here. I threw it away and have received at least 4 or 5 bills for it. I just throw those away too.

I also did not sent my F&P "free" DVD back as I didn't order it. If that's the way they want to do business, I will not renew my subscription. I will purchase off the magazine rack if it has something of interest in it. Their magazine is not exactly cheap. Occasionally I order a "free" magazine and when the bill comes and I'm not really interested in what the magazine offers, I write "cancel" in red on the bill. Some continue to send me a bill and one actually stated my subscription is on hold for nonpayment. Hello, I wrote cancel on the first bill.

If they state on it that you can keep it without paying them I might depending on what is on the DVD. I subscribe to both magazines but haven't received anything yet, being in Canada it may take longer for it to arrive.

A couple years ago I received a book from one of the Quilting Magazines. It came while I was away and for some unknown reason my husband had opened it. He thought I had ordered it. I could not for the life of me remember ordering a book. But I paid for it because I was not sure how it came to me. Then another one came a month or so later and I knew I did not order it, so sent it back as refused. Then one more book came, and I did the same thing. Then I got an odd letter telling me that I should be paying the postage to return books I ordered and then did not want. So my letter was rather stern that I had not ordered anything from them and if I received one more book I would consider it a free gift. So no more books came.

Years ago they did this type of marketing, but I thought they outlawed it way back when. Guess not. I feel it is an intrusion and then you have to take time out of your day to send it back or whatever, not a good thing.
