It's not that we don't understand that it is a monthly membership fee. It's that when you try to skip or cancel they make it impossible, and that they keep your card info!
I liked the pants I got. I decided it wasn't for me when for THREE MONTHS in a row I couldn't get my sizes or the sizes I could get were preposterously off.
Decided to cancel and had to fight with the customer service agent who told me repeatedly, "I'm not going to cancel you, I'm going to give you x amounts of credit." Finally got her to cancel my VIP membership after a fifteen minute argument, only to discover they had kept my credit card info and charged me again the next month! Called to cancel again today and had to endure another upsell conversation where they didn't want to reimburse me.
Not worth the stress.
