Sent an email to them and received a prompt solution to my issue.
Very impressed versus other companies
Hello,
I've been shopping at Discountmags for a few years and never had any issues with my orders. I ordered a magazine for my mother for her birthday and it never arrived, I was so disappointed. I contacted the company and I received a response within hours asking for further details, I gave the customer care rep (Alexis) more info. She was so professional and quick to respond, I was amazed. She handled my situation immediately and followed up like she said she would. Excellent customer service is rare these days, Alexis is a rockstar and I hope she receives further recognition by Discountmags. I'm happy to be a long term customer. I would highly recommend this company.
Not unlike many reviews here I went for their flashy prices. Sat and the farthest date for magazine delivery on The New Yorker came and went. Oh let me "contact the publisher" they said. I waited, that week came and went. I had to send a form feed letter from my credit card company to get my money back. Seems like they go ahead and invest your money for a few months while you wait for a refund.
The magazine finally arrived August 7,2020.
It took almost five months. My mother in law finally got her Mother's Day gift!
I purchased this magazine for my mother in law's Mother's Day gift. It still has not arrived. I notified them on July 8,2020. They said they'd look into it.
DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY!
I tried to extend an existing subscription for a weekly magazine 2 weeks before it expired. Easy, right? No--they treated it as a NEW subscription, which takes 8-12 weeks to start. So I'm missing 10 weeks of my magazine with no recourse. And if the sub doesn't resume after 12 weeks, fat chance getting a refund. Won't be using this service any longer.
Once again, Ive had an issue with a magazine subscription. The publisher's fault (which they all have been), but the customer service rep from Discount Mags took care of it quickly and to my satisfaction. Plus, especially with their sales, they have the best prices on most magazines that they offer. Very pleased, wish all companies were this easy to deal with!
If you love magazines, discountmags.com offers a wide variety at a reasonable cost.
However, it's not always easy to order at the lowest price because what seems unbeatable is sometimes beaten shortly after by discountmags.com itself.
The other issue (no pun intended) is that if you renew your subscription through discountmags.com before your existing subscription expires, you're not told upfront that the magazine publisher might cancel the order because you renewed at a lower price than the publisher itself charges.
Discount Mags does not honor their commitment to their customers who purchase magazine subscriptions through them. Upon notifying them immediately from the beginning of the subscription that the issues were not being received, they tell you they will contact the publisher. Of course the publisher isn't going to admit fault. Discount Mags has refused to refund my money upon my request. Meanwhile, I paid them up front for a subscription that I'm not receiving. DO NOT USE THEM. The small amount of money saved by going through this company for any magazine subscription is ultimately a waste of money and time trying to get issues resolved.
Answer: Hello Michele, You can find this information in your Order Confirmation email, which was sent to the email used at the time of purchase. Be sure to check your spam and junk folders. There will be an estimated delivery date in that email, keep in mind this is only an estimate as we do not ship magazines, and publishers do not use tracking. If you need anything else, let me know.
Answer: Discount Mags has a website that allows you to choose from hundreds of different types of magazines. From Good Housekeeping to Car and Driver. They have many different categories to choose from. Their subscription prices are very reasonable. Also the customer service is absolutely the best. Check out their website. You are going to love what you see.
Answer: Hi Diane. That would depend on the actual magazine and the frequency in which it prints. I can give a better estimate if you can provide the title(s). Do you mean 15-20 of the same magazine as a bulk order or 15-20 different magazines? Regardless, shipping time is industry standard for each publisher and would be the same regardless of where you order. One retailer cannot ship a magazine any quicker than another retailer since it's all being printed and shipped from the same place.
Answer: Hi Susan, you can certainly renew through DiscountMags but I fear there may be a slight lapse in your subscription if you renew 30 days before expiration. We recommend that customers submit renewal 60-90 days before expiration to guarantee there isn't a lapse.
Answer: Nanci, the delivery estimate range on New Yorker for your order is between 12/05/2020 and 01/02/2021 as stated on the order confirmation page and in email. Believe us, if there was a way to get subscriptions to customers sooner, we would! This is industry standard no matter where you place the order. We do not print and deliver the magazines ourselves. We work with thousands of publishers all of which handle their own printing and delivery.
Answer: It's been very easy to get a hold of them and have any issues resolved. Always friendly.
