    fair warning. ol ben is up to his game again. selling goods and magazines that you won’t receive. park t’s going to a fundraiser that he will pocket the money… read the complaints and reviews before you get into business with this man … he will delete comments and block you .

    I wish I could give less than 1 star to this worthless company. I ordered a Christmas magazine in Dec 2023, never received it. I wrote them multiple emails and requested a response on their IG account, with absolutely no response.
    I will never buy from them again and delete all their socials.

    I wish I'd read all of this before I placed my order. I ordered over $60 worth of things on Dec. 26, 2023, and still haven't gotten them in February of 2024. I sent out an email that got ignored. The person who runs this business is clearly a scammer. Do NOT buy anything from them.

    Customer service was unresponsive to an order paid for and placed. Reached out via email, message fer, everything, multiple times. No $ returned. No response. No product.

    This company is a total scam. I ordered a shirt on sale because they were “closing” the online shop like 3 years ago. And I didn’t even receive the shirt until a year later after I reached out multiple times. Silly me thought it was just a simple accident on their part and ordered stuff from them again back in May 2023 because they were having a “closing sale” It’s now January 2024 and I still haven’t received any of it. I’ve reached out multiple times and still nothing. Then I found an Instagram bashing folk magazine that basically calls them out for being a scam. DONT BUY FROM THEM.

    Ordered 1 t shirt and 9 prints from the “musk” portion of folk in May. It’s now October and I have not received anything. When I send messages on instagram I get a “we’ll look into it” and never hear back. The online storefront was taken down so there’s no way to fight it. I used a debit card so I’m out the $50.

    I ordered magazines a few times years ago and received them, though it took ages to get them every time. One time I completely forgot about my order, which was never fulfilled. More recently, I contacted Ben several times via email, and he ended up refunding me for an unfulfilled order. Around 4 months ago, I ordered a back issue of the magazine as well as the latest issue, "Home," and I wrote to him at least six weeks after I placed the order since I hadn't received the order or any communication about it. He didn't respond, so I contacted my bank and disputed the charge for the 2 items. I got my money back, and around that time also received the back issue but not the new issue. Wondering if it even got printed? I just got the same email I've received a number of times encouraging people to contact him about past orders so he can get those out (sure!), by a date in June (3 months ago...). And now he has a book out. Stay away! Oh, his profile says he lives in NYC...

    HORRIBLE! Total scammer. I have omaces 5 orders since May and haven’t received anything. On said “partially shipped” but no tracking number. I have left so many emails and never hear anything back. This was supposedly a going out of business sale. What a HOAX! POS and still sends out emails trying to get you to buy more!! Unreal. So disappointing!! I wish he could be shut down or put in jail!!
