History

Do not join the History Book Club.

I got an offer in the mail from them a few weeks ago. Four books for $1 each, plus shipping, with no obligation to buy any more books. The flier they sent had some intriguing titles, so I figured I'd take advantage of it.

I changed the address, though, hoping the books would be shipped to me at work, which would be more convenient.

Today I received a letter dated October 3 stating that they won't ship to non-residential addresses unless the customer makes a $50 deposit to open the account.

While their literature does state they may require some customers to do this, it does not list any of the reasons why. Had I known, I wouldn't have changed the address.

I thought that maybe I could call them and change the address and still get my order shipped. They had no record of my enrollment order. I no longer had the flier I ordered from, so I didn't know what books I had chosen.

So I told them to take me off their mailing list, because I never want to do business with them again.
