Bottom Line Unsolicited bottom line yearbook 2021

Received a notice from Bottom Line today regarding the subject yearbook. It provided a toll free number individuals needed to call to cancel delivery of the yearbook. I spent a great amount of time on hold waiting for someone to answer (assuming someone actually would answer). Reasonable procedure would be to simply have an individual enter identifying information to a robotic operator to cancel mailing of the yearbook. I do not want to receive or preview the yearbook. I do not want it sent to me. I did not request to preview it and I will not return it if it's received. My email address is schroederj.[protected]@sbcglobal.net and I can be contacted there or at [protected].

Desired outcome: No further books or other materiel sent to preview unless specifically requested in advance.

Bottom Line Book delivered that was not requested.

'The Ultimate Women's Guide To Beating Disease' book was shipped to me without my permission or request. It arrived in a orange box marked "We know you're asking what the heck is in this orange box...Just take a free look ... We think you will like what you see!
I do not want the book but I will not take time and money to return. I am disabled and must depend on others and will not 'ask' them to return an item I did not order.

If I receive a 'bill' for this item, it will not be paid.

So, if you want the book returned, send box and label that can be used for pickup at my home. Choice of shipper will be up to you but they must pickup.

Bottom Line Unsolicited books/collection action notification

My father is blind and can't hear. Bottom Line Books repeatedly tell me they have spoke with my father and he ordered books/subscription (which is impossible! i.e. blind/deaf (The only number there is to call him is MY CELL! which I have on me 99% of the time LOL). Now, for the past year, they continuously are sending collection letters re: books he/I have not received!

BEWARE of this company. They target elderly people - but I am not elderly and will be just as harassing to Bottom Line Books as they are to my blind/deaf father.

It's not a problem. Take them to small claims. Its cheap and you can add court costs and all to what they have to pay you. They will lay off then because they don't show up for court so you win. worked for me

Bottom Line not getting what was told

I subscribed to bottom line health because the additional pamphlets was to have a cure for hemorroids. That was my only reason for subscribing. I never recieved the ad

Ditional pamphlets, nor could I find this cure in any of your literature. I amjust paying for your 2020 book, which doesn't say antjing on the subject either.

Bottom Line book returned and receiving payment notice.

Received book on Nov.2nd 2019 and returned it the next day and USPS indicated it received on 7th Nov. DES MOINES, IA. address and they still billed me for the book in today's mail even after I had indicated on line to remove my name and address from their files and close my account as of Nov. 2 to no avail. Received a bill today 2 Dec.2019 for the book with a threat of bad credit report. At 81yrs old threatening me is wasting their time I could care less.

Bottom Line btom yearbook 2020

I received an invoice for this book which I did not order. I have no idea where the book was shipped to as I have moved and left my new mailing address with the post office months ago. They seem to take it upon themselves to ship this book out yearly. I have no intention of paying for this book. If I had received it I would have sent it back. Most of the information in their books I can get off of the internet.
They need to be held accountable for their unsavory practice of mailing books out, hoping the consumer doesn't remember ordering them.

Bottom Line bottom line books customer service manager

I've gotten 2 letters about me not paying for a book I ordered. The customer service manager said that they had not received payment, and that the Post Office said that I had moved with no forwarding address.

NOT TRUE! I have made all 3 payments and I have not moved. I have proof on my bank account that the payments were made.

You cannot be trusted. DO NOT send any more mail to me. I will never buy anything else from you again. Nothing but lies from you people. Too bad, I like the book.

Bottom Line bottom line year book

I received the Year Book that I did not order. Since I opened the box, I could not send it back. I had to mail it back. This happened before and it cost half the amount of the purchase price of the book to send it back.

Please take my name off your mailing list and never send me anything (books or advertising) again. It will all be returned marked as refused.

Your practices are unethical.

Bottom Line books I did not even order

My elderly mother received a box of books - unsolicited by her - in the mail. Suddenly, she's been reported to a credit agency for non-payment of these books that she never ordered. Now I have to spend my time trying to unravel this scam. I think the credit agency is working in collusion with bottom line books to scare and scam people into paying for unsolicited / unrequested items, in this case, books.

I am dealing with the same thing! My father is blind and can't hear. They say they talked to him and he ordered them (which is impossible! e.g. blind/deaf and the only # available to call is mine LOL). Now, for the past year, they are sending collection letters re: books he/I have not received!

I have received the book ultimate womens guide 2019 and received the billing for it in the amount of, $53.45.
My account number that was assigned to me is #[protected]. I can either split the bill up into 4 installements. But the crux of my problem is I did not want nor have I ordered this book.

I want to ship it back to you (please provide shipping label) and remove it completely from the account you created for me!

I am holding the book until I receive the return shipping label and return postage since the book was not ordered! I am not going to pay this bill in payments or lump sump, because I didn't order it!

Bottom Line unordered items sent to me

Acct. [protected]
Received BTOM Yearbook -2019 by postal mail 1/25/19
I did not order this item
After researching this matter on the internet, I have become aware that BL Books ignores all attempts to cancel mailings and uses a collection agency to try to force payment for the unordered merchandise
US Post Office policy states unordered merchandise may be considered a gift and no payment need be made.
The book mailed to me will not be returned or paid for, as it falls under this policy.
I formally request all mailings of publications be stopped immediately.
Any further communication will be referred to my attorney.

Bottom Line I received a book in the mail from said company. I refused it, but I still got an invoice.

This book came in a cardboard Box, which I never opened at all. I took it to my Post Office and they stamped it as refused. Almost 2 months later, I got an invoice saying I owed a total of $49.94. I sent the company a handwritten letter, saying I owed them . I don't want this to ruin my credit score! Waiting on their response. How can they do this?

Bottom Line receiving books not ordered/payment requested

Received book not ordered which was sent back. They want check made out to: BottomLineBooks (no spacing between words). Checked and there is no business called 'BottomLineBooks'.

Their website to make a payment is www.bottomlineinc.com/bookpay. I typed just 'www.bottomlineinc.com' and it took me to a site called: Bottom Line Inc. 3 Landmark Square Suite 201 Stamford, CT 06901. The site has a lot of medical and health related articles amd publications. Are they related? I don't know.

I now Entered 'bookpay' at the end of that same address (www.bottomlineinc.com/bookpay) and it redirects the page to a very different address: https://w1.buysub.com/servlet/ECareGateway?cds_mag_code=BRW

Entered just the first part of the site address: 'https://w1.buysub.com' and was taken here:

There is no such business named 'BottomLineBooks', like how they want the check made out to. There are 6 businesses with the name 'Bottom Line Books', but just 1 of them is active (legally operating): 'Bottom Line Books LLC New York Domestic Limited-Liability Company Bottom Line Book Filing Date 08/25/2016 in Lafargeville, NY'. Is it the same company? I don't know, but the address of the invoice received is different.

There is a difference between an invoice and a bill. Look it up and learn.

One final thing. If any company sends you something you did not order, YOU ARE NOT UNDER ANY OBLIGATION TO RETURN IT! Consider it a gift. Look it up, it's true.

Bottom Line return address label was incorrectly printed

I ordered a book (Encyclopedia of Healing Foods), after receiving the book, I reviewed it and decided not to keep it. I put book back in the box, taped it closed, put return address label on the box, took to post office and mailed it. Three days later the book is back in my mail box. The return address label had my address for return. This is upsetting. I want the return address for Bottom Line Books so I can return the book. I do not want it.
