I received in the mail a DVD which I did not order and the title of it is "Inspiring Ideas for Creating Classic Quilts". Did some of you receive it also? What do you think of it? Do you plan to send it back or keep it.

They enclose a mailing label to mail it back, but if you keep it it costs you $13 and enrolls you in their club and you receive a new DVD every 2 to 3 months. I can only assume that further DVD will cost more.

They also say that you can keep this one as a free gift. It was interesting, but I learn so much from this board that I don't think I need to pay for extra DVD's.

Many here have received these, some send them back, others have kept them. It can't hurt to watch it and then decide if you think you would like more of them.
I am like you, I can find the info here, or for free on the net :wink:

Beware of clubs. It is too easy to get the info online for free.

You are not obligated to pay for it or send it back. If you didn't order it you may keep it for free. The Postal Service says it is illegal to send you something you did not order and ask for payment. this is the link to the information on their website.

A while back I received a DVD also but can't remember from who. I sent it back as I like to look online or on this board for ideas.

My husband told me the same thing I don't have to pay for it or send it back. I did anyway I didn't want the hassle of them sending more or hounding me for money

They count on people feeling that way. Then they send the 2nd and a lot of people pay then because they think they did something wrong by not sending the first one back. You don't have to pay for the second one either.

You did not ask for it.
It was sent to you unsolicited.
It's a gift.
You do not owe anything for it.
You are not under any obligation to:
-return it
-acknowledge it (how do they know if you recieved it or not??)
-pay for it.

You can keep it or throw it away or give it away.

I agree with everyone else. If you didn't order it, it's yours for FREE!

Didn't get DVD. Didn't order DVD. Did get a bill for DVD. Don't want the DVD. Returned bill with note that they are nuts to try a bill me for something I did not order or received. Glad to know I am not the only one. I was wondering if they thought I was senile and would pay.

Same thing here! No DVD received or wanted, and they won't get a check from me!!

I also didn't order the DVD. After viewing I thought it a good idea to subscribe because I thought all future DVDs would be $13.....wow was I surprised! I just rec'd a bill for $27.44 for one DVD. I have canceled any future orders.

Jeanniejo 06-16-2011 06:30 AM

Didn't order it so I kept it and wrote a note on their invoice. Two months later I got another one !! Kept it, sent them a note on their invoice and haven't gotten another one since. Guess they figured it out !!!

I starting receiving billing invoices (3) for the DVD. I tried to get off their list online and I finally had to call them to take me off their list. I resent having to go through so much to be taken off a list I never asked to be put on.

Received one today, will send it back, can get so much for free and from boards, who needs to spend $ and time. Thanks for your input!

nativetexan 01-03-2013 03:40 PM

Fon's and Porter did the same thing. i returned it. didn't ask for it and wasn't going to pay for it. just another gimmick!

deedum 01-04-2013 03:02 PM

Gee, I don't want the DVD, so I hope I don't get it because I would not send it back. That sounds like a scam or poor business to rope customers in like that. No I don't want any part of that. Thanks for the heads up.

BellaBoo 01-04-2013 04:11 PM

If you didn't sign anything or check a box then don't worry about it. Whatever is sent to you is yours to keep for free. CDs are super cheap to copy and mail so if just one out of 100 people pay for a membership it makes a profit.

This might sound silly, but I picked a couple up at Michael's in the deal bin. Anyhow, now I wish I'd bought all of the ones they had. Don't want to belong to a club, but would like to find the others in the set. Any thoughts?

cricket331 07-28-2013 07:04 PM

I picked mine up at Michael's too. I like them since I got to "choose" them and paid a fair price. After watching the 3 that I purchased I do like them and wish I bought more too:)..
