    Im 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 didnt 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.

    I placed and order for 2 books paid with my credit card. A month later I was charged $104.80. Luckily my credit card company notified me and it was declined. The only way to contact them is through email and was told it was for a subscription. No where did I see that I had purchased this. They said I could cancel it online. Not a company that I will every do business with again.

    Books were great quality. Arrived in a timely manner. Id order again from them The only down fall was that you were required to click the online book - which they automatically sign you up for after the 30 days. It was very difficult to figure out how to cancel that subscription

    As the others have said, I ordered 3 books and sent to my daughter. I did not subscribe to ongoing purchases but I was charged $97.00 for a "free online service" which I do not want. I put a stop payment on my bank card payment at bank on August 23, 2022 and Puppy Dogs and Ice Cream ran the charge through Paypal again on 8/25/22 on my other card with Paypal. Despite the fact I cancelled with them and put a dispute on Paypal and stopped check. DON'T order from this company! It is a scam!!!
