We had the music club one, it's such a waste of money, a complete rip-off. I made DH cancel his after he got his 6 CD's, yet they keep sending him special offers and mail etc so I'm just about to ring them and go bonkers at them (as only I do best).

I honestly would not waste your money on them. If you want cheap books, wait for sales or buy off TM.]]> Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:11:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20231&PID=471250&title=anyone-with-doubleday-book-club#471250 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20231&PID=471197&title=anyone-with-doubleday-book-club#471197 Author: myfullhouse

I was with them, bought the 6bks and cancelled. Then got sucked back in again with the lure of no postage! Definately not as good a deal as you guys got! I have just bought my 6th book for this 1yr commitment and I think I am going to cancel again. I am finding I am struggling to buy books I want.]]> Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:26:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20231&PID=471197&title=anyone-with-doubleday-book-club#471197 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20231&PID=471133&title=anyone-with-doubleday-book-club#471133 Author: Kazzle

Yeah I bought 6 books for the first year and then bailed out of it, the woman that called me was REALLY pushy too. I couldn't even really understand her ]]> Wed, 20 Aug 2008 10:44:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20231&PID=471114&title=anyone-with-doubleday-book-club#471114 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20231&PID=471104&title=anyone-with-doubleday-book-club#471104 Author: Andie

I've cancelled a membership with them too and didn't want anything more to do with them (bad customer service, over-priced books that I wouldn't have decided to buy after seeing them, and they screw you on postage)... but far out did their telemarketer NOT get that point! She talked on and on and argued with me - even spoke over the top of me whenever I tried to interject her pre-prepared spiels... grrrr! She told me I'd need to buy 6 books in a year for this offer ($80 vouchers and a freebie book I didn't want). I really wished I'd hung up on her afterwards - wasted much of my time she did. ]]> Wed, 20 Aug 2008 10:36:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20231&PID=471104&title=anyone-with-doubleday-book-club#471104 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20231&PID=471095&title=anyone-with-doubleday-book-club#471095 Author: BuzzyBee

Wow that DOES sound like a fantastic offer, I really thought there would have to be some kinda crazy catch....

Maybe I will stay with them ....one book a year can't hurt!]]> Wed, 20 Aug 2008 10:31:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20231&PID=471095&title=anyone-with-doubleday-book-club#471095 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20231&PID=471009&title=anyone-with-doubleday-book-club#471009 Author: Kazzle

yeah im with double day and they did this with me as well...

and its right, i now pay no postage, only have to order like 1 book in a 12mth period, got to spend the $80 of vouchers (can only spend 1 voucher per book).

i can also take advantage of those special lures they have to get new customers, so occasionally i get books for that special joining offer.]]> Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:21:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20231&PID=471009&title=anyone-with-doubleday-book-club#471009 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20231&PID=470973&title=anyone-with-doubleday-book-club#470973 Author: BuzzyBee

Reason I ask, is that I canceled my membership with them about 2 months ago ....I'd bought my 6 books that I needed to (as part of their membership deal) and then I said no more. So bloody overpriced compared to bookshops.

Anyways, yesterday I get a phone call from some lady at Doubleday (and might I add she could barely speak english ) ...she kept nagging and nagging about rejoining and how they were going to send out a free complimentary book and SUPPOSEDLY if I'm still not keen to rejoin I can just tick 'no thanks' but get to keep the free books .... (and apparently they are going to give me $80 worth of vouchers to spend and no obligations if I decide to rejoin? -yeah right!) Does this sound suspicious?

Nothing in life is free ....I'm definitely going to be reading the small print, thats for sure.

Has anyone else had this same offer?]]> Tue, 19 Aug 2008 21:58:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20231&PID=470973&title=anyone-with-doubleday-book-club#470973
