Not from them, but during my one-year membership with the Cooking Club of
America, I received an unsolicited book, or rather a package that
previously contained a book - by the time it got to me, it was damaged
and empty. I called them to tell them I never requested anything from
them and they said "Oh we just thought that it would be something that
would interest you - you're under no obligation to keep it". I then
informed her that I couldn't keep it if I wanted to as I didn't actually
receive it, just a damaged box. They cancelled my invoice and I never
heard another word from them about it.
Had the book actually been in the package, I would have been annoyed that
I would have had to make a special trip to the post office to return
something that I never ordered in the first place (the box was too big
for a mailbox). I seem to remember reading something somewhere about not
being required to pay for or return anything sent to you unsolicited, but
I'm not sure about the specifics.
