DVD Received in Mail
#71
I do subscribe to McCalls Quilting magazine, and a few others as well. I did find the DVD, after all the good advice from this board I am going to consider it a free gift, just like the letter says. We will see what happens next. Thank you everyone.

ProudGranny, I really think that the quilting mag co. sell address lists and perhaps they could also get your address if you order from a fabric company.
But I understand your worry about online info when their has been much reported about facebook= a company I do not trust..

I cant find the DVD now, I didn't even watch it, was intending to send it back since I didn't order it...Has anyone else on this board had this sent to them as well? I want to quilt today, not tear my craft room apart looking for this darn thing. I may have to send in the 12.95 for something that I didn't order if I cant find it........
I wouldn't stress yourself over it. Just my opinion.

Patti: When are they gonna learn. They sent you two? I hope they don't send me another dvd. After reading all of these comments and everyone is saying the same thing, looks like the company would learn by now. You know they probably have seen these comments. Think of the money the co. has lost, not to mention the bad publicity!

There is a no postage required envelope included in the package. Use this to send back everything (unless you would like to keep the DVD, in which case you can keep that. But load up that little return envelope, with marker clearly telling them offer is refused. Then send it. They have to pay for that mailing so if some of your other junk mail finds its way in there, well, huh, how bout that?
Companies will continue to do stupid promotions like this until they find it is unprofitable to do so. This is my attempt to make it clear to them that it is unprofitable to mail me things I did not ask for and do not want. I find campaigns like this one to be really misleading and manipulative, and even if the DVD was super, I would not do business with them because of the way in which they've done this. And I would like to know who sold my name and address -- I never ask to be added to mailing lists which may be sold, and I tend to be very cautious about providing my name and address to sites that may sell info. Anyone think it might be Connecting Threads related? Or is it a Quilting Board thing?

Unfortunately, most businesses "share" contact lists.
Email is nearly unusable as a method of personal communications, lately. Even with spam filtering by ISP's and individuals, our inboxes are even more cluttered with commercial mailings than our mailboxes.
