1 starI ordered one book as a gift one time. These people continue to send me books I haven't ordered and attempt to invoice me for them. I have repeatedly returned the items, in an attempt to get the idea across I am not even REMOTELY interested in what they're sending. Don't order a thing from these people as once on their list, always on their list.Review fromAndrew B

I ordered a 1 year subscription to People 7/27/23.. My first issue was to start about 30 days later (end of August).Approx. 5 days after subscribing I decided not to continue and requested a total refund.I did not receive any issues yet so I was entitled to a full refund. There website has a 100% refund on all unsent issues. I have tried contacting them 3x and not once have they answered my request.***BEWARE!!!

I recently went down to his home to take care of bills and paperwork due to his macular degeneration. Upon arrival, I found three packages from *********** containing cookbooks. I thought I had stopped this from being delivered back in 2018 I still have the date and time and the representative from that call and fiasco (he was being sent TWO cookbooks constantly and being charged for both!). The issue is that my 80 year old father is past legally blind due to macular degeneration, he cant even read the cookbooks. Hes on a fixed income. He doesnt open these packages. If he doesnt open the package, he doesnt see the letter. He cant use them because he cant see. He cant afford this. And frankly, my money is better used to pay for things he actually needs and uses, not having to make up shortfalls when hes being billed for unnecessary items like this.I sent everything back during my January visit and I hope that his credit card was credited. But the bottom line is these shipments must stop! He cant afford it, he cant see and I cant go down there to sort his mail and deal with the returns every month! This is literally my elderly and legally blind father throwing money away, and he cant afford that kind of waste. And its creating more clutter. While I did manage to get confirmation in writing by email (finally) that the shipments will stop, I never got confirmation that they'll refund him his money or that they never billed him as I refused all the books and sent all of the books back. This kind of activity on behalf of *********** is despicable. Unless someone affirmatively solicits a product, it should NEVER be sent to them and access to the credit card through a magazine subscription should never be used in manner. It's literally theft and fraud, and financial exploitation when you do it those defined as elderly in law. One day, perhaps consumer law will catch up and make this practice illegal.Dotdash Meredith

I had an email from BBB with a response from the Executive Director of Operations. The request was to reach out directly to this person. However, the comment link doesn't take me anywhere and just notes the comment is unavailable. Not sure how I"m supposed to reach out directly to do whatever I need to do to verify my father is on a do not contact/solicit list.Dotdash Meredith

Parent company of ****** ****** *****– avoid these jackets/parkas at all costs! They do not stand by their products and do not stand by their warranty. After only 2 months my jacket fell apart and they refused to repair it under warranty. This company is unreliable and dishonest.Dotdash Meredith
