Buyer beware
I repeat if my experience is anything to go by DO NOT order your magazines from this company. I ordered 2 skiing magazines back in October of 2010. It is now the end of January 2011 and I have still not received my subscriptions. The last issues of the season are available on newstands by Feb 15. I called the company back in December and they apologized, claiming the magazines would arrive shortly..I spoke with Christine at extension 216.
I have since tried to get in touch with the company at all times of the day but no matter when you call or what extension your try no one picks up.
With all the choices out there and given the fact the publishing world is desperate for business you would think there was a better option and there has to be. If in doubt buy direct. I was mistaken in thinking that I could subscribe to two magazines in one shot in order to save time. Instead I have been put through the ringer and lost any news I might have gotten for the ski season...
What a disgrace in this difficult economy!

doesn't submit orders
In December 2009 I used this website to purchase 4 magazine subscriptions. According to them, the order was processed in early January 2010. It's June 11th and I have yet to receive a magazine. A month ago I filed a complaint against them with the BBB requesting a full refund. The company was very good at using stall tactics...promising that my subscriptions would start soon. I'd write back and demand a refund...they'd write back and assure the BBB that my magazine orders had been placed a second time. Finally, the BBB told me they were closing the case as "unresolved" as they could not force a company to provide a refund, etc. I've called each magazine individually and found my order had been received...the last week in MAY !! One magazine has yet to receive my order...so I'm still fighting with magazinecity. I intend to file a second complaint with the BBB regarding this last magazine subscription.
These discount magazine websites are SCAM !!!

Awful experience
I ordered two magazines from this company as gifts for my dad. One magazine appeared, and the other one never showed up. After three months, I called, and was told that there was a problem with that publisher, and that they would resolve the problem and that the magazine would start appearing within 6 weeks.
4 months later I called back repeatedly, and just got the run around. I got 'we'll get back to you by the end of the day today', which meant a form email. Then, when I called again, I got 'I'll have to have a supervisor call you back later today', which never happened. Call number three (4 days later when no one had called) had me leaving a voice mail for the supposed head of Customer Service, who also never got back to me.
It took me like 20 phone calls to them (I am NOT exaggerating) and a threat to take them to court before they finally had me talk to someone who would give me my money back. So, they kept my money for about 8 months, would not return any customer service calls, and only finally gave me my money back when they realized that I was not going to go away. It was very clear after that process that they never intended to deliver the magazine, or to give me my money back (or to even return a phone call).
FYI, if anyone ever does sue these creeps, I took detailed notes about my calls to them (date, time, who I spoke with, what they told me), and I'd be happy to help out in taking these scam artists down. It's unbelievable that they're allowed to get away with this.

A huge SCAM! Don't order anything from them as magazine will never arrive
Ordered a subscription 6 months ago and haven't received a single issue! I've been trying to get a refund but their customer service is impossible to reach.
This company uses the dishonest scheme to charge your credit card with a subscriptions and tells you that because they handle so many orders your magazine may take up to 2 months to be delivered at your door. Well, the magazinies will never arrived because after two months you cannot longer open a dispute with your credit card company and they get to keep the money. I bet other people just forget they even ordered anything. Bastards!

Just awful
Just awful... Magazinecity.com, that is obviously scamming and cheating their customers. I put an order for a gift subscription for a magazine for Christmas in to them on December 6, 2007. We have never received the magazine and everytime you call customer service you have to wait on hold 40-45 minutes, and they when you speak to them they lie to you and do not take care of the problem. Unfortunately after the fact I noted on the internet numerous complaints and poor reviews of this company taking money from people placing orders and no product received. Granted one order is not a lot of money, however if they do to this to a million people it does add up, doesn't it?

File your complaint with BBB
Ordered a magazine in Feb 2008; It is now Sept. and nothing came yet. Called the company millions of times and felt lucky if someone actually answered the phone. I filed a complaint with BBB and received a reponse in 3 days that a refund would be issued. THANK YOU BBB.
I will never ever do business with this company again. If you have a complaint, don't waste your time to call the company; file a complaint with BBB!

Took my money but there was no delivery
On December 22, 2007, I ordered a 2 year subscription from MagazineCity, which was to be a Christmas gift. I paid $70+ via VISA. In February when no magazines had been delivered, I followed up via e-mail. They said that sometimes delivery takes a while, and to contact them again at the end of April if nothing received. (December to April is pretty bad, but as long as they get delivered OK.) The end of April has arrived, and still no magazines. I've followed up with 2 more e-mails, and neither one has been acknowledged. I call the 1-800 # provided, but could not get through. I hung up after more than 1/2 hour on hold, without speaking to anyone. Still no magazines. I'm out $70+, and my husband is out a Christmas gift.
