Taste Of Home - FREE GIFT ENCLOSED!
Out of the blue I received in the mail a package from Taste of Home. It was a brown box with big red lettering on it that read "OPEN NOW ...
FREE GIFT ENCLOSED! Attached to the outside of the package was an envelope that said it was a "Notice". Inside was an invoice for $30.98 for the enclosed "Everyday Slow Cooker" book. Since it was a free gift I opened the box and took out the book.
Since then I receive the bill for $30.98 every couple of weeks since August 15, 2016. Taste of Home has the habit of sending unsolicited cook books to subscribers of their magazine. They think that people with just assume that it was ordered and pay the bill. Very sneaky.
I have sent back many books with "RETURN TO SENDER" on the box. I will not be renewing my subscription and I will not be paying this bill.
Reason of review: Pricing issue.
Preferred solution: Stop sending me bills for a free gift..

I think people are just not reading what they sign up for. If you agree to receiving a book to review with a special low price, the fine print indicates you are agreeing to receive future volumes unless you cancel. I have never had a problem cancelling but you have to remember to do so.
Please see this article. What they're doing is illegal and needs to be reported to appropriate federal agency.

They're the worst, aren't they? And it's absolutely impossible to get removed from their mailing list! I wish someone would start a class action suite against them for their unethical and dishonest business practice; I'd join in a heart beat, not to get any money but to hopefully put a stop to their nonsense!
