It’s been 4 months since I paid for my subscription renewal and the renewal is still not showing up. I will never use DiscountMags again.

Our apologies. You are correct as we have been having issues with that publisher fulfilling magazines in a timely manner. Our Customer Service manager will reach out to you and ensure you're taken care of or provide you with a full refund if you are not satisfied.

Really bad

Really bad. Added to subscription to New Yorker in December and have not received anything since then. Confirmation email said "Your current subscription will be extended**:Between 02/18/2021 and 03/18/2021" and "Please allow 4-6 weeks for the renewal to be tacked on to the account." It's almost May. Excuses when we email. The COVID response is getting really old--how exactly does COVID screw up making some changes on a computer so badly?

UPDATE: About 2 1/2 weeks after this review the magazine began coming again.

You are absolutely right. Having to wait this long is a poor experience for anyone and we apologize it's taking this long and are not proud of the situation. I see that you ordered the same magazine from us in 2018 and assume you had no issues then. Unfortunately, the magazine industry is one of the many industries that was hit hard by the pandemic and many publishers as well as the U.S Postal Service are way behind. We know it's not what you want to hear and that it's an "excuse" but it is the current reality we're all living in. It is always our desire to go above and beyond for our customers so if at any point you change your mind, please reach out and we'll take care of you. We can however tell you that it will probably take as long regardless of where you order (even the publisher). Ultimately it is your decision but it is our recommendation to wait it out as the world slowly goes back to "normal." I will have our Customer Service manager call you on Monday to discuss and provide you with options.

Soooo slow

Soooo slow. Ordered and paid for the New Yorker on December 29th. Now April 6th & no issues yet. Discount Mags says wait another 8 weeks, see what happens, and then if necessary they will assist.
The price was decent, not great.
Certainly not worth a six month wait!
UPDATE 5/10/21 — Revised from One Star to Four Star. Received the May 10th issue. Once Discount Mags was aware of the problem, they were proactive & resolved it quickly.

No response from my 2 e-mails

I ordered 3 magazines. 4 months later I get an e-mail saying 2 of them are digital. It never said that when I ordered. I then wrote and asked for a refund for the 2. I have sent 2 e-mails with no response. I am very dissatisfied with this company and will never purchase anything again.

Digital magazines indicated on the product landing page with "(Digital)" in the title, the tablet image around the cover, on the order confirmation page, and in the order confirmation email. We indicate a digital status on every touch point a customer would encounter. Despite that, we canceled and refunded your order per your request as it is within our standard refund policy to do so. We also responded to your email.

We cannot bill a Paypal account unless you login with your email and password and authorize it yourself. We also cannot and do not auto-renew unless you opt-in, and then authorize subscription payment via Paypal. Is it possible someone else in your family used your Paypal account?

Regardless, as per your request, we already canceled the order and provided you with a refund.

Naomi in Customer Service was pleasant and helped me get a resolution that was NOT achieved using email back and forth. I highly recommend phoning directly when there is a big problem. Melody tried for several months to get my paid for subscription to me, but the publisher was sending the magazines (Kiplinger) which I wanted very much. Totally frustrated, I phoned and was delightfully surprised to see my money refunded without a hassle. Of course, I have 5 months of emails as my proof. I had ordered Kiplinger for 4 years with auto-renewal without problems. I would have preferred to have the magazine more than a refund, but customer service did respond and I rate them high for that!! Thank you.

Awesome customer service

I ordered a magazine as a gift and later found out it was a digital mag. Not what I wanted for the recipient. My email was responded to quickly and I received a full refund. I recommend DiscountMags.com for not only the great prices but fantastic customer service. Thank you.

I HAD TO COME ON AND SAY THANKS

I have subscribed to Discount Mags for years at various times including a hunting and trucking magazine for my special needs cousin who loved the pictures and turned out to be the best gift anyone could have given him. I recently ordered a magazine for a year and I have discussed with Customer service over the years and today by email for the first time and the service has been so great. They are efficient, prompt and really nice to talk with. No issues whatsoever with any of my subscriptions and just wanted to take a moment to let others know if you're thinking about getting a magazine etc, you won't be dissatisfied. Thanks DISCOUNT MAGS

Subscription troubles

Had some difficulty getting my subscription to Outside magazine started. I was fortunate to get in contact with Alexis in customer
service who helped sort it out. If the rest of the customer service team is as thorough and communicative as she is then your in good shape.

Not sure yet

Not sure yet. Prices were great so I went ahead and placed an order as a gift. The first issue was received, but the second was not. I contacted Discount Mags and Customer service was responsive. They contacted the publisher and found somehow the mailing address for the second issue was not correct. I'm confused as to how that can happen, but...I am told that the account has been reactivated with the correct mailing address and my gift recipient is suppose to start getting the ordered magazine with the December issue. I will obviously follow up to ensure they do. I am hesitant to order anything else until I see several consecutive months of delivery.
