They discontinued the App and didn't tell me. They expected their customers to figure it out. When I called to cancel they said they charged my monthly fee the day before the month started and wouldn't reimburse me. I asked to talk to a supervisor and I was told the supervisor is busy and will call me back. I'm still waiting for the call. The site content was okay, but NOT worth any money. You can get free content that is similar.
Life member for years I got a letter wanting more money to be a master life member and did not fall for it last thing I have heard or seen. Would love to see a class action suit against them and scout. It was a hardship on me making the payments when I joined but I really enjoyed the magazine.
Paid lifetime membership over10 years ago and have not seen or heard anything in years. Why would a company do that and how are they getting away with this. Time to follow up with the attorney general
I've been a life member for 10 years cannot get one issue it's been about five years now made contact with them and they say you should be getting 4 them for a year Well they're off by four not good wouldn't recommend buying membership
Do you have a phone number I can call to speak to someone my husband says he is. Life member no hnt received nothing from you people I a long time
Joined in 2008 and have not received a magazine of any contact in yrs. Why are they still in business ripping people off?
What happened to the club. I HAVE BEEN A LIFE MEMBER MANY YEARS! RECEIVED A POST CARD WITH PHONE NUMBER AND WEB ADDRESS A FEW YEARS AGO THAT DOESN'T WORK. My life member # is *******. I can be reached at *******@live.com.
Paid for Lifetime Membership, nothing also nothing in three years. Web site: http://www.handymanclub.com. No longer exists.
What is going on with the Handyman Club of America? It has been almost three years since I received a monthly magazine and have gotten no mail from them in the same amount of time! I paid good money to be a Lifetime Member and I have not died as of yet! This was what seems to be a fraudulent taking of my time and of my money!
Whear the magazines havent got it in 2 years
A rip off the stuf u tested was junk dident get stickers when u are a life member
They went out of business permanently closed. I'm a member since the mid 90s and about a year ago I stopped receiveing my magazine and fix it emails. They are done.
My name is Jose A. Lugo My lifetime membership no. Is ******* I joined back in April of 2003. My lifetime membership was paid in full in good faith. I lived back in Tampa, FL. I now live at 289 Magical Way Kissimmee, FL. ******* my telephone no. Is *******923 are you going to honor my life time membership which I paid in full in good faith?
Someone asked, why doesn't the Attorney General get involved? My suspicions is that there's so much fraud going on that they just turn a blind eye and grab their paycheck. I was burned by a TV 'Learn my technique and start to earn $$ at home. Well, I was injured T work and thought well I still have bills... But. I came to my senses and that was the end of the line. The problem is they can continue to solicit on tv but we as consumers have no voice to warn others of the trap awaiting them. I did like the books, I'd like to shove the books up their collective asses.
Became a member in roughly 1990 20 09 move to Georgia became a lifetime membership 2013 I have heard nothing ever ever from them what's going on this is truly a rip-off thank you
Who do I contact regarding my life membership? I moved over two years ago and just dawned on me that I forgot to contact you regarding magazines and promo information to my new address.
Now i no longer receive my magazines and they do not reply to correspondence Feel totally ripped off
Long time ago I tried Handy club of america, but I did subscribed to lifetime member but lucky me I never paid them a nickle, I, m the kind of person that if you want my money, you need to show me that you're worth it, they never send good merchandise (tools) so for me it wasn't worth it, lucky i got out of it on time...
Should have known that when I became a lifetime member of this shoddy organization on October 10,1998, and received my leather jacket with the club's logo, hand stitched on the left chest, and in red capital letters below, affirmly vowing me a "LIFETIME MEMBER", was to good to be true. The certificate, in which I made the frame for, and proudly displayed in my shop, needless to say, is no longer hanging. Shame on you deceitful people for pulling a midnight escape with no explanation for your loyal members! You should all be castrated via a dull, rusty saw blade!
I joined Handyman club about 15 yes ago [ life time member]and have regretted it since, about 2yrs ago they totally stopped sending me issues of the magazine [ no phone number to complain] I went through h-llaura and still to this day have not received all the goodies Thay promise you will receive as a member everything about them that I have experienced has been a bunch of Bull S--t I am thinking about legal counsel at this time also going to contact the Better Business Bureau plus others agency's to stop and keep them from ripping off others. Part of what is wrong in this country is the lies and theft of companies like HANDYMAN.THE RATING I GAVE AS A ( 1) WAS TO HIGH. BUT I DID ENJOY THE MAGAZINE JUST ASHAMED THEY BURN PEOPLE THE WAY THEY DO, DON'T WAIST YOUR MONEY BY SUBSCRIBING.
Evidently my lifetime is longer than their lifetime. Since I told "the club" to quit sending me tools to purchase that I had not ordered and, if I didn't want them, I could return them, I have not heard from them. I never received a "free" tool to review. I thought something was missing from my mail and didn't realize what it was until I started reading everyone else's complaints. If I could just get my outrageous "lifetime" dues payment back, I would forget them. Short of that, I would like ALL of my past missed issues of the magazine and start receiving it on a regular timely basis.
Answer: I too had the the same problem. Found out about a month ago the they changed the name and are not honoring any of the old handyman club memberships sorry
Answer: They closed shop. They embezzled our money.
Answer: Don't feel bad. I (and a lot like me) paid "lifetime" membership dues, and got screwed. Since Handyman aligned with "Scout"... its been downhill all the way. No honoring "Lifetime" benefits. I wish there were a class action lawsuit against them.
