North Shore Agency
People Books unsolicitated book

My wife has a subscription to People magazine. People sends books from time to time and requests that you send it back if you do not want it. If you keep it, they bill you. Well, I am tired of sending unsolicited books back at my expense so we donated the book. We received an invoice from People, which we did not pay. This month we received a payment notice from North Shore Agency on behalf of People books. According to Title 39, United States Code, Section 3009:

3009. Mailing of unordered merchandise
How Current is This?
(a) Except for
(1) free samples clearly and conspicuously marked as such, and
(2) merchandise mailed by a charitable organization soliciting contributions, the mailing of unordered merchandise or of communications prohibited by subsection (c) of this section constitutes an unfair method of competition and an unfair trade practice in violation of section 45 (a) (1) of title 15.
(b) Any merchandise mailed in violation of subsection (a) of this section, or within the exceptions contained therein, may be treated as a gift by the recipient, who shall have the right to retain, use, discard, or dispose of it in any manner he sees fit without any obligation whatsoever to the sender. All such merchandise shall have attached to it a clear and conspicuous statement informing the recipient that he may treat the merchandise as a gift to him and has the right to retain, use, discard, or dispose of it in any manner he sees fit without any obligation whatsoever to the sender.
(c) No mailer of any merchandise mailed in violation of subsection (a) of this section, or within the exceptions contained therein, shall mail to any recipient of such merchandise a bill for such merchandise or any dunning communications.
(d) For the purposes of this section, unordered merchandise means merchandise mailed without the prior expressed request or consent of the recipient.

I do not plan to pay for this item.
