Gidday,

This week we discovered that Fingerhut charges $2.00 for anyone who wants to receive their 200 page glossy catalog. In my book that is an automatic Opt Out until you chose to Opt In. I love it! Thanks to our member who sent in the email to stopthejunkmail.com(below).

By charging for their catalog Fingerhut are pre-qualifying prospective buyers to make sure they actually want to shop. Additionally Fingerhut encourage you to go to their website to shop their online catalog! This is a service where by a consumer can browse a paper catalog online rather than search online through a shopping system.

But don’t be fooled, once you are on their mailing list they may send you direct mail regarding other offers such as sweepstakes or credit card and so the cycle begins!

Email from our member:
