Thread: Door to Door Magazine Sales People

    Default Door to Door Magazine Sales People

    I've had two sales people come to my door on different days selling magazines supposedly for veterans. The usual speel, trying to win a trip, blah blah blah.

    The company seems to be Midwest Circulation LLC. BBB rating of F and some not so good stories about them on the web.

    I had the same kinda bunch come thru almost 2 years ago. The young girl had a good speil and after 20 or 30 mins of bartering i got a subscription to pc tech magazine. It took me the better part of a year of raising holy heck to actually get the subscription but they did send me a years worth of rolling stone for my trouble.

    I've never seen an at the door sales pitch for print items that provided lower prices than one can find on-line, and purchasing on-line has the advantage of no one wanting to enter the home for any reason.

    A simple 'no, thank you, good luck to you' is all there is to it, at least for my house. I am however far more open to the pitches from Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts.

    I've seen a recent increase as well. Normally, that type of door to door sales has stayed out of my neighborhood, so they're branching out it seems..

    the other day,
    my wife called me
    to the door
    with a mild inquiry
    regarding the state of
    my current possession
    of some greenish paper
    that some refer to as
    cash

    this was after
    she responded
    to a knock
    on the abovementioned barrier
    to the free flow of commerce

    it was a small passle
    of some cute li'l kids
    selling BBQ sauce
    for their church.

    they could have been selling
    BBQ Cooking Magazines
    for all i cared

    i handed over
    a five dollar bill
    never asking to see
    their permit
    to do business

    it was sort of like
    trick or treat
    in february

    Careful about these folks. You don't know whether they are really selling for charity (probably not) or whether they are casing your house for a future burglary. Wait for the kids raising money for their band or just buy online.
