I have never dealt with them, where do they get their mailing addresses from?

A lot of companies buy and sell mailing lists.

Their catalogues are a huge waste of paper and totally environmentally unfriendly.
Every time a new one comes out, you should have to request it anew if you just have to have it!! ;-)

Absolutely they buy and sell your address. A few years ago I bought a subscription to Audubon and since then I have received hundreds of unwanted catalogs, subscriptions notices from more birding companies I knew where around. I stand over the trash and throw them, along with 90% percent of my other mail.

Oh great.
I just started with Audubon. Now I have something to look forward to.

Yes, I got one about a week ago. About a month or so ago I bought a set of Raynox lenses for my SX50 from them and assumed that was why they sent a catalog. Maybe not. ....... Coot

Yes. Just the other day, in fact.
But I'm not surprised. I have ordered from B&H before, and I'd bet anybody on UHH has had their information shared with UHH's sponsors.

Ever notice that you might look something up (online), then the ad banners here are filled with the item you looked at?
Cute little annoyance.

Yes, just yesterday. One of the few such mailings I'm glad to get.

It's not just here. I've noticed things I've done internet searches on show up on Facebook.
