Don, AMEN!! I too have the same problem with Danbury, but if you think that's bad, the Franklin Mint is even worse!! My wife ordered a model for me a few years ago and now we get two of all their mailings every week!!! From Marilyn Monroe and Princess Di figurines to Dragon swords studded with who knows what - all that junk and I can't stop it! I have talked to them on the phone and written letters all to no avail - the mail keeps coming in! Recently Franklin has taken to calling you at home during the dinner hour to say "Hi, this is "airhead so & so", how are you today?" Then break into their pitch. I have told them to stop this idiotic practice or they would lose a customer! I haven't had a call now for about a month. Is anyone else having these junk mail and junk phone call problems?
