Book/CD clubs used to work that way. They shipped you the 'book of the month' and then you'd either return it or pay for it.

- OriginalPenguin 6y agoNot exactly. They would always send a postcard or something similar beforehand allowing you to opt-out.
- cactus2093 6y agoThese were more like auto-renewing subscription dark patterns if I remember it correctly. You'd get a bunch of books or cd's for $1, but based on the fine print you were really signing up for a subscription where they'd send you one a month from then on at full price. They also of course made it tricky to cancel like any good (read: bad) subscription service does.
