I thought this company would provide reference material for a home wood shop only as I requested it.  I discovered the magazine was mostly advertisements and the few articles I saw were about the same as I had already read in other magazines.  I recieved a couple of items to 'evaluate' and found them cheap, made in China, and not worth the postage.  I filled in the reply card voicing my opinion and never recieved any more products to 'test'.  I decided to recieve some books as I thought the first one was pretty good. They were supposed to be sent to me one per month and if I did not want one I could send it back.  Soon, other books began to arrive nearly every week and I discovered each book seemed to be smaller and had less information. I compared the information to other books of the same type and realized I was paying about 10 times the price I should for such information.  I began to send the books back but the postage for each was really beginning to add up.  I asked the Post Office what could I do.  They said to not open the packages and write "Refused" on them and return them to the Post Office.  Now I am getting packaged books nearly every other day so I am trying to catch the Post Office delivery man at my door and write "Refused" on the package and have him take it back.  I ususally miss the mail man so I have to drive the package to the Post Office and that takes gas.

I have written this outfit and sent them emails and went online and filled in the contact places and told them to STOP sending anything to me.  I don't want their magazine, their books, or anything from them. I just want them to STOP, STOP, STOP and leave me alone!!!
