I have been dealing with the exact same scam that user 'KKreates' has been experiencing with this 'company', so exact in fact, that I will copy some of his text as follows;
Blue Gavel calls for your permission to send the OSHA compliance training guide for a for a trial period. If you like the book you keep it, and pay for it. If you decide to return it, then you are to send it back. When the initial call was made, I specifically asked if returning the book would be at my expense.
Lie #1. If you do not like the book, you may return it at your own expense. So I called and was instructed to send the book Priority Mail. So that is what I did, drove to the post office, sent the book Priority Mail, paid my $12 aprox, got a receipt, and sent it on its way. What a surprise to find out not only did they claim to not get the book but not they are harrassing me WEEKLY for an unpaid balance of almost $300. Oo The catch is that when you send Priority mail,
they do NOT give you a tracking number, so when Blue Gavel called and kept asking me for my tracking number there was nothing for me to give them. I read them all the info off the receipt including their zip code, and they said that would be OK. They then turned around and began hassling me relentlessly for full payment (of something I returned fair and square) I know for a fact, after reading of similar stories, they DID in fact receive the book, but they are still wanting to collect the money, because they KNOW I have no proof of sending that book, because they don't give you proof of Priority Mail, and they HAVE to know that if they are instructing people to send it via this method. Because I didn't pay extra for Delivery Confirmation, they think they have me by the ba*s. After a few phone calls that were nothing but a waste of my time, I will not answer or return their harassing calls. I think its ridiculous that there is a group of women who keep passing me back and forth being blatantly rude, when they know damn well they got the book back in perfect condition, and try to get $300 from me because I can't prove delivery. Zero integrity at blue gavel press! Do not accept their "free" trial. It has cost me more in time, money, and headache then it was ever worth, I never even got any time to reveiw their book, as it was over the holidays and I had family in town, and sent it back virtually new as received.
