Unhappy about Woodworkers Guild of America

About 3 weeks ago, I received a DVD entitled Essential Woodworking Techniques, in the mail from Woodworkers Guild of America. I didn't order this DVD, and I have no idea why I received it. I have never signed up for anything from their website, don't have any subscriptions to any woodworking publications and I don't know how they even got my name or address unless some online company where I bought a tool sold my name to them. I haven't even watched the DVD. I put it in my library of DVD's and forgot about it. Yesterday, I received correspondence from them requesting that I either pay $13.95 to keep the DVD or return it in the product return envelope that came with the DVD which was tossed in the garbage along with all of the other envelopes, advertisements etc. that came with it by my wife as she thought it was garbage. I'm inclined to just ignore their request because I didn't ask for it in the first place and to return it will now cost me shipping charges because I don't have the return envelope. What would you do?

Exact same thing happened to me. I watched maybe the first three-five minutes of it, determined it was for absolute beginners, and ignored it. Three notices later, (somewhat threatening, but not really), I just kept throwing them into the shredder. I also threw away the DVD. After three, they finally gave up on that one but got another about 9 months later. Same thing all over again. Totally unsolicited, don't send them a dime.
