Excellent company
October 2, 2020

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.

Total Scam
September 13, 2020

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.

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!

Beware!
June 30, 2020

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.
