The wife ordered some stuff from them (they usually have decent enough stuff) for Christmas, and somehow got added to a sort of "negative option" program where they charge $15/month, forever in return for some discount. I cancelled that today, and got the $30 refunded.
Regardless, it's a really shady thing to do. The same company apparently owns "Norm Thompson" and "Solutions" catalogs and does the same thing. There is a coupon in the invoice email, and if you click it, you are signed up, and then have to figure out how to cancel assuming you realize you are signed up. My wife didn't notice, and she's no idiot (she has 2 doctorates, after all).
I cancelled all their catalogs, too. Morons.
