      Beginning February 15, 2022, I spoke to ***** and Manager, ************ paid $120.00 for a 5yr subscription to ************* confirmation code #******, as of today October 24, 2023, I have not received a single magazine, I did however, receive a folding Realtree handsaw worth a maximum of $15.00 for my $120.00 subscription fee, I called and spoke to a rude lady that seemed uphalled that I was calling wanting the magazines I paid for to confirm that they had my correct address on file for sending the magazine, they confirmed the correct address, then preceeded to tell me that paper for printing the magazine was not available due to COVID and when it became available, I would receive my back issues, at least a year has gone by since that call and to date, all I have received was a folding hand saw.I Googled my problem to see if others had similar problems with Buckmasters and there were many others getting ripped off the same as myself.At this point, as much as I loved receiving the magazine and reading it in the past, I wouldn't recommend their products to anyone, they can keep their magazine at this point, I want the money back that I paid for a 5yr subscription and have not received 1 single magazine since renewal.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. Provided they actually send the refund check, if check is not received in 30 days, I will re-issue my complaint with the BBC.

      Sincerely,

      I've been a life member with Buckmasters for over 20 plus years. For over 1 1/2 years I haven't received any of my subscription magazines that I'm supposed to get. I emailed multiple times, put on ********* and called them several time about it. Most of the times when you call, you get nobody but, the 3rd time I called I talked to a person and they took my information down and said that they mailed me a letter to see "if I was still alive" so that they weren't sending magazines for nothing. They were supposed to reinstate my subscription and start receiving the magazines. I contact them early summer and still today over 6 months haven't received a magazine other than a year old complimentary magazine. What a joke! Seems to me now they are scamming people for their money. Life members doesn't mean 20 years and stop!

      I see that they are sending past issues of magazines that I haven't received but, still want my current magazines that I'm supposed to be getting for life.
