Straight forward and easy to use application. I should get my book soon.
Many thanks.

Just sent off for this one to add to a growing collection all of which have been free.

They seem to do a big promo everytime there is a new Disney film - in this case Meet the Robinsons.

The previous ones I have ordered via a freephone number printed on Happy Meal boxes from McDonalds - although I am sure some kind person will always post the details on MSE to save you the cost of the Happy Meal too!!!

Thanks, just ordered one for my son, had Chicken Little freebie before without any hassle for more books, as long as you tick the 'NO FURTHER BOOKS' button.

Great kids loved this film, make sure you click on that button to say you dont want any other books (if you dont that is) i have found it tricky to shake grolier off they cling on like leaches....!

interesting post. My wife has just been sent a package of books priced at just under £80. She never ordered it and we never signed for the delivery. We really dont know what to do-be honest and return it at our cost for something we didnt order, or wait for the demands-Any suggestions anyone?

The thing with Grollier is you never stop getting hastle from them. They always ring up trying to sell you something-but i always tell them that my wife isnt in-think they might be getting suspicious now, so, send books in the hope that she buys them.

I've been in a similar position with a company called Mango books. I emailed them and told them that I didn't request the books and didn't want them. I gave them 14 days to arrange for their collection or postage otherwise I would be disposing of them to charity.

They arranged for collection and then sent me some more which I refused to accept from the delivery person - she said she often had to send them back as refused to accept. Haven't had any further problems with Mango

Update

I received the books and book holder (not quite as naff as before).

I returned the preview books in a padded envelope which cost me 83p second class parcel post.

I now have 5 nice books
- Jungle Book
- Meet the Robinsons
- Toy Story
- Chicken Little
- Bambi

We already have The Jungle Book from a previous offer but hey, thats 4 books for next Xmas Stocking and 1 for the birthday party box for just 83p :T

This morning, I also received another copy of Meet the Robinsons (the sun freebie?) plus another offer for Winnie the Pooh books. Sign up and get bowl, mat, spoons and a book plus another on free trial. Again you get to keep the free gifts if you don't want the book.

I figure that I might just give it a go as they already have my address on their mailing lists and it would make a nice present for my cousins little boy who'll be one in Sept.

I'm sure if you look carefully, you are being charged for the 2 trial books - one was winnie the pooh but I can't remember the other - the documentation will tell you.

Send those 2 back with your customer number and a letter saying thanks but you've changed your mind. I think you have 7 days and whatever you do, use brown paper or a padded envelope and not all that heavy cardboard packaging the books arrived in.
