I know I'm beating a dead horse, but I just opened the letter asking for me to send the DVD back and I put this in another thread:

This DVD collection is the most horribly deceptive form of marketing I have ever seen in my whole life. They send this unsolicted package containing the DVD to AMA members and send a seperate letter that says, "Oh yeah, if you don't return this DVD in the original package with this prepaid label, you owe us $9." What!?!? I didn't request this DVD. Legally, I can't imagine that I am under any obligation to take any action whatsoever.

First of all, most AMA members probably assumed it was some benefit of membership, threw away the packaging and forgot about it before receiving the secondary letter - especially new members like myself. Secondly, I have to stress that this was an unsolicited mailing, and I made no request to receive anything at all. To ask that I take time out of my day to prepare and mail the thing back to them is an atrocity. I live in a condominium, so I have to go to the post office to mail something this size - it won't fit in the mailbox, not to mention the fact that I now need to retrieve a box to mail it in. I am so angered by the whole notion of this marketing scheme that I could just scream. The content of the DVD is now just a side note. I have lost all respect for the AMA for conducting business in this manner and will now pass on renewing my membership in the future.

I am going to post this same message in a seperate thread and ask that everyone else that was angered by this action reply to the post with their complaints.
