    My credit card account shows an unauthorized $97.00 charge for books. I did not order this and don't want it. Something was said on this site about a digital subscription but I don't do digital books nor would I knowingly agree to them. So now what do I have to do to stop this and get a refund? This shouldn't be happening !!!

    I am having the same problem as others are having. I ordered my books for $76.90 and now I get a new order confirmation for $94.90. The book selection on my new order stayed the same but the prices changed! I tried to do a "Chat" but their site always says "Back in 3 hours". When I leave an email at the help center, all I get is a reply saying.......You've reached us outside the chat hours ?? Our chat hours are 8 AM to 2 PM PST, Monday to Friday.We are converting your ticket to an E-Mail conversation. Here's what will happen now:You will receive this conversation via E-Mail so you can go ahead and close this conversation ??If you want to add any additional information to your case, just reply back to this message ??I will get one of our Customer Support Buddies on your case ASAP ??????I wish I had read the reviews before ordering!!!!!!!!! I wish I could just cancel my order (it has NOT been shipped yet) and get my money back!

It also helps our customer's queries get resolved even without reaching out to us.However, we are happy to see that you were successfully able to create three support tickets and got in touch with our customer support team. Our team did respond to all the tickets promptly and all your queries were resolved then. You asked for the discount to be applied and the correct address to be updated. As per your request, the discount was applied and a refund was issued also the correct address was updated by creating a new order number for you.Also, a separate ticket was created by you to know the clarification about the $76.90 and$94.90 charges, and our support team has given a complete explanation about the charges and has shared the order confirmation page for the original order and reship the order.

    Our 3 young granddaughters and their mom enjoyed the first set of books I ordered from this company, so I ordered more for them to enjoy! The second set ordered should arrive soon. I look forward to the granddaughters' responses for these books as well.

    Don't order from this scam copy. Saw the ad on ******** and it's a scam.I also am having the same problem other are having. I ordered books pay with my debit card and to day I find a $97. Charge to it for books I didn't order. I sent an email they reply to go to help center. I have tried over 5 times to go there. All I get is a screen showing 3 black dots going across it. Then almost done comes on and then goes to blank screen. *** sent emails telling them this and asked to cancel order, asked were the order was been sent and for a phone number to call customer service. No reply.Tried to call and they refer to the web site which doesn't work.

    scary. I am one of the people that is being charged without authorization for books which I have not received. Tried to contact them to terminate further withdrawals as well as get a refund and can't get in touch with them. Scam.

    I bought these for my 4 1/2 year old granddaughter whom is slightly on the spectrum. We keep these in a special place (away from her other books). Thou some of the context is above her age it gives me the insight on how to massage the message to her level. She loves these books and asks me to read them multiple times in the same sitting! The Everyone Feels Sad Sometimes was perfect when I had her for 5 days while parents were away. We did add but most of the time, Im happy! Looking forward to my next shipment!

    When I ordered first three books to see if theyre what I was looking for for my grandchildren, I didnt authorize anymore books to be shipped, therefore I had $105.85 charged to my credit card pending yesterday. It is suspicious to me how Puppydogs and Ice cream wants customers to go online to refuse, cancel or express our concerns through chat with customer service or email them. I have sent messages through chat to them at 8:00 am yesterday and gotten No reply from them. I have email them around 11:00 today no response have I gotten. Therefore I do not trust this company and give them a rating of two stars. I did read all the fine print as well and I didnt see nothing about sending books automatically and I didnt want anymore shipment of books either
