Back in the day I was a victim of the Columbia House and BMG CD membership. Some of you might remember the set up: get 8 CDs for $.99, the cost of shipping, and the promise of buying 4 CDs at regular cost within two years. Each month they would send you a catalog of new CDs to buy as well as the CD of the month and you had so many days to decline the CD or it would be sent to you automatically. Well, after the government fined them for Negative Option Billing and the growth of music downloading, Columbia House and BMG merged and called it quits with selling music through the mail and started peddling DVDs.
Frank and Oak is an online clothing store that gives the buyer an opportunity to try-on the latest clothes every month when they become a member of the Hunt Club. With a Hunt Club membership the member receives clothes every month based on his three favorite styles selected, he has five days to try on his selections, he only pays for what he keeps and the other clothes are returned free of charge. Also, this membership comes with 8% store credit on all purchases as well as 30% off select items with exclusive Hunt Club Pricing. Now all of that sounds great, but there is a small catch. If the member fails to skip a monthly crate it will be sent to him and his account will be credited $45 and his filed credit card will be charged.
Judging by the gear they are selling this may be a match made in consumer heaven, but the only hesitation I have in becoming a member is I will forget to decline the monthly clothing crate and they will send me the clothes anyway and credit my account. This may become a nightmare for me and my absent mindedness, but for someone that lives in a limited men’s shopping scene and has to resort to online shopping its ideal. BTW, I forgot to mention that the clothes are reasonably priced!
