MagsOnTheNet

I rec'd a gift of mags & the Wall Street Journal. The magazine came about 3 months after the initial order was placed. The WSJ never came, sent SEVERAL MESSAGES TO MAGSONTHENET,without a reply until the last message I sent -which they told me that they ...

After reading all the horror stories from other consumers who state that they have purchased magazine subscriptions through mags on the net and have not gotten what they have paid for, I suggest you do the following: Contact the NYS Attorney General's ...

I wish I'd read these reviews before using Mags on the Net. This was the singular most frustrating business experience I had ever gone through. 2/13/06 placed an order for People and US magazines, $126.90. 5/27/06 after 12 weeks filled out email ...

Ordered a three year renewal of Trains Magazine from MagsOnTheNet.com in Feb. 2005. After one year the magazine quit coming. Called the publisher and they only had record of a one year renewal. E-mailed MagsOnTheNet.com. They said that they had ...

Like a lot of reviews here, I got burned using MagsontheNet.com via Yahoo! Shopping. I am a long-term Internet shopper and this is my first experience at being totally disgusted with my online shopping experience. I ordered two magazine renewals this ...

WOULD NEVER CONSIDER ORDERING FROM MAGSONTHENET AGAIN. yes, my feelings on this are so strong that i needed to use all caps. order problem was a 3yr subscription renewal that i was charged for right away and that never went to the publisher. when i ...

I placed a subscription renewal for a magazine with Mags on the Net back in June 2004. My subscription has since run out and I still, as of this day (3/21/2005) have not received one copy of my magazine. I called them in December, when I didn't receive ...

I have ordered a 3 year subscription for a magazine in June 2006... When I've received my first issue in July, the expiration date was for 2007 instead of 2009... After many phone calls and e-mails, I've noticed that the expiration date was changed to ...

Yup, we all have to do something. Unfortunately, we too, did not read the reviews before ordering. Good prices are our weakness. We too, ordered a 3 year subscription to our favorite magazine. It was only 60$! However, only received 2 issues. Then, ...

Here is my experience with Mags on the Net. On November 1, 2004, I ordered a subscription and my credit card was charged the same day. The publisher received the subscription order from Mags on the Net on November 27. I still haven't received a ...

I am a grad student at University of Virginia. I did some surfing to see if I could find the best student discount price on 3 magazines (The New Yorker, Architectural Digest, and Bon Appetit). MagsOntheNet.com won out...and never even asked me if I was a ...

Agreed. Magsonthenet is a scam. I bought a one year(52 issue) gift subscription of People magazine for my fiance. She got the first few issues and then the subscription abruptly stopped. Tried to follow up with Magsonthenet by dutifully filling out their online form, and sending emails over the last few months. Try their phone number and you'll hear a message that they are not taking messages right now.

I finally called the publisher of People Magazine to find that my name was nowhere in the system and that the gift subscription was ordered under another name and the balance never paid. If Magsonthenet were at all legit my details would have been on the account instead of some bogus name attached to a phony credit card. People Magazine confirmed they do not have a relationship with Magsonthenet. Very very shady.

I wish I had checked this site before I had placed my order with MagsontheNet. However if you too have fallen victim to Magsonthenet don't fret your credit card company should be able to sort it out for you. Dispute the charge and get your money back!

ordered 2 year subscription and only received 1 year. the publisher has only record of us ordering 1 year. also, cannot seem to contact magsonthenet- no one ever answers the phone, no one answers e-mails, and the voice mail box is always somehow filled. VERY FRUSTRATING!! it seems this company is really making out on all the extra money people are paying and not receiving magazines!!

Majority Rules !!! I agree. I ordered in June and it's October and I haven't received anything. I get the default email response that someone will be contacting me and no one has. I wish I'd seen the reviews at first. These guys must be making a crap load of money from all of us. They're probably on vacation with our cash when we call.

This company, does not reply to email, the phone? what a joke. I used to get email all the time from them. I now have this company blocked. At first I thought they were good.

What they do is only, if you get this a one year subscription, even if you pay for 3 or 2 years.

They charge the credit card, and stall, until you are
after the credit card dispute time.

They also deal with 3rd party vendors, which they do not state. DO Not, Do Not deal with them. They need to be shut down.
guess what, the bbb sent me an email,so did mags.got one additional issue year? i checked on-line to confirm.they still own me one year, however i can't deal with them

I finally spoke to a representative from the company who apologized for not responding to the numerous e-mails (though the story was thin: something about the servers being down; I sent one in March and Yahoo claimed to have sent one in April). In the end he addressed the problem: we noted where the order was met, and not met. He said that the Economist dropped MagsOnTheNet as a distributor, therefore my order was in "limbo" and that he's going to credit my account, with my approval. He's checking on my New Yorker subscription by contacting the magazine, and would e-mail me with the results.

Obviously, communication is not their forté, but it worked out to be O.K. in the end. I think they should have taken more responsibility and let me know if months go by (nearly a year) and my order's in "limbo." They did have my e-mail address and should have let me know that there was a problem when they recognized it... Would I use them again? Probably not: it's not worth the few dollars I'd save on a subscription. If there's a problem: call them!

This company is HORRIBLE!! Placed an order on 10/08/06 to renew my husband's CCM magazine. 8 weeks later, I still had not received any magazines, so I e-mailed and NO REPLY. I e-mailed weekly for about 3 weeks now and still NO REPLY! I finally looked up a toll free number on their web site and called. The message states they are not handling customer service issues "due to the holiday season" WHAT???!!!!! The recording instructs me to e-mail any questions or concerns...duh...haven't I been TRYING to do that!! It did say that if I wanted to place a new order, I could stay on the line, so I did, hoping to speak to a LIVE person. I got connected to a voicemailbox, but got a message stating the mailbox was FULL!! I was instructed to press a number for customer service and finally did get a voicemail for someone named Theresa - I left a message, but I am assuming I will not hear anything. I am now going to contact the publisher and see if, in fact my order was processed. I am not expecting too much. What an AWFUL experience!!

THIEVES!!!!!
DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS WEBSITE!
I purchased a 1 year gift subscription. The recipient received the magazine for 1 month and then no more. I tried several times to contact Mags On The Net, via email, with NO response. The phone number that they list on their website is only a recording. They have stolen my money. I wish that I had viewed this website before placing my order. I did take the advice of another reviewer and contacted my credit card company. They seemed very understanding and will dispute it. I hope to get my money back. I definitely believe that the positive reviews listed are FAKES!

TERRIBLE!!! DON'T BUY!!! Took my money and never received any magazine...tried to contact them but they never responded after numerous attempts to reach them. Budget Mags is so much better. Will go and order from them from now on. I wish I would have seen this review before I ordered from them.

Over 12 weeks waiting for TV Guide and still no Mag. Several "order inquiries" and nothing back from them. But they sure flood your inbox with "We want you back" and "hot summer sale" etc.

Already filed with the NY BBB (all online) and Yahoo (which host their store) and my Credit Card Company.

I ordered a gift subscription 'Bucknuts mag' from MagsOn the Net/Yahoo store...Dec. 24, 2007 It is now 6 months and the recipient has not received it...Only contact point seems to be e-mail..which I have done now four times...No Response!!! I presume I have been scammed and have lost $42.95...for I have contacted the publisher and was informed they have never heard of MagsOn The Net Also that they only do business from their own website and use no third party. I will contact my cc...but am sure it will be in vain...I have definately learned to distrust everyone now..even tho. I have had good results with other honest business sites.

I ordered 4 magazines from Magsonthenet over a year ago (3/28/06). Three came with no problem. The 4th has never arrived. I sent E-mails to them 3 times and never got any type of response. The price is right but the service is none existent.

GAVE THEM EXCELLENT RATING BUT FOUND OUT LATER SUB ONLY FOR 2YRS NOT 3YRS AS ORDERED. DONT KNOW WHO MADE MISTAKE YET. PUB OR MAGS ON THE NET. AM 1YR SHORT ON RENEWERAL.

This company was paid for a two year subscription and only credited me with one year. I have contacted them four times to date with no resolution. I would not use them.

Last December I ordered NASCAR Illustrated for my son-in-law. To date, he never received his magazine.

I have e-mailed, faxed, and made phone calls. When I called I was transferred several times and sent to a voice mail box - that was full. Today I was told no one was in the office as it was a holiday. They are nothing but crooks. I have contacted the Better Business Bureau in New York as well as the Attorney General.

I have not heard one thing from the AG. I assume they think it is too small an issue to address. Is there not some sort of class action that can be taken against these people!!! I was willing to settle for a refund - is that too much to ask?

Addendum: I have just contacted the FTC and filed a complaint. It was really easy to fill out the form right on line. Also called the Attorney General's office again and they are sending me a form to fill out to file a formal complaint. I will not take this lying down!

Ordering on this website was absolutely wonderful!!! My order was processed very quickly and efficiently. I spent some time comparing prices and confirmed that their prices on most subscription are the best out there!

Great company, customer service was superb. I needed to change my order and the took care of it right away.

These guys are NOT in the magazine subscription business. They are in the ripping people off business. If you do business with these people you will be ripped off! I have no idea how rip off artists like these guys stay in business.

MAGS-ON-THE-NET IS A RIPOFF!

They charged my credit card immediately but failed to ever start my subscription. Numerous E-Mails were sent to them regarding the problem and none were acknowledged. All calls to their customer Service number are answered by a recording stating: "The office is closed".

Everyone should avoid using this company!

I agree wholehardetly with the previous poster, as magsonthenet is the worst company to do business with, as they send in their subscriptions late and do not follow up with complaints.
I waited over 5 months to get my subscriptions, made many calls, left many messages, e-mailed them many times without any response.
Then I called the mags directly who told me that they had not received the subscription!

i ordered my subscription from them because they were cheaper. I patiently waited 12 weeks for my first issue, but didn't get any. so i contacted the publisher and was told that magsonthenet.com never placed my subscription with them. After 4 weeks of trying to get through, i finally got an email from magsonthenet saying that there was some misunderstanding with the publisher and my subscription record was lost along with several other subscriptions. They offered me a free magazine and promised to reorder my subscription. Now, its been another 12 weeks and i haven't received any magazines yet. I think this company is a scam. Save yourself the headache and stay far away from magsonthenet.

I think all these "wonderful" reviews are written by MagsontheNet themselves. I can't contact them, they don't answer my e-mails and they don't have an answering machine. If I am lucky enough to ever receive my magazines, I will never shop with them again!! I am going to contact the FTC if I don't receive anything within the next week or two. I wish that I had read these reviews first! I am such an idiot!

Have used this site before and always had a positive experience. However, 04/2007 that changed. Ordered a package deal of 2 years of TIME that included 2 free magazines, DISCOVER and LATINA. My TIME subscription was only renewed for 1 year, I did receive DISCOVER, but never LATINA. Emailed with no response. Called customer service twice and was forwarded to a voice mailbox that was full. I called my credit card and disputed the amount to get my money back.

Scam, do not buy from this company. They will take your money and never send your subscriptions. I have been trying for over 9 months to get my money back.

I ordered two separate 1-yr subscriptions. Unlike like many others I did receive my mags. Unfortunately I noticed that the 1-yr sub is only 11-months on the mag label. I sent them an email but don't expect a response after reading this site. Glad I used a coupon but won't be ordering again from these guys. I wouldn't fall for the 5 star reviews either since it's probably from the company.

I purchased a two year subscription in October 2005. The first year came, but the second year order was not placed. I called and emailed their customer service, no response. I went after them through the BBB and through National Community Service (who they use to place the orders) and was told November 11 that Magsonthenet had placed the renewal order. Well, hasn't happened yet, according to the magazine's customer service. I've asked Magsonthenet for the actual date and account number confirmation for this alleged renewal. They just send me emails saying "the problem has been fixed. You should get your magazine soon."

If you check the BBB website, you'll find quite a few complaints lodged against these weasels.

Stay away from this company. They used to be reliable but now the magazines do not get delivered. I called the magazine directly 14 weeks after I paid MagsOnTheNet and the have never received the subscription request. Many emails, phone calls and faxes go unanswered. Check out yahoo opinions and the New York BBB for more reviews on how bad this company is.

Customer service is rude and it takes forever for the first issue to arrive - I have ordered in November and now they tell me it will arrive in May (first they said February). I don't know if I believe that either. Don't let the low prices fool you - $20 is a lot when you receive nothing in return :-)

Update: talking to customer service, however unpleasant, helped - I received March issue

I placed a subscription in January 2007.
Time passed and after few mails to customer service asking for information regarding my order ( never answered) I received 2 mags from one of the subscriptions and then received no more.
DO NOT ORDER FROM MAGS ON THE NET. THESE PEOPLE ARE FRAUD. I wish I had checked about this people before ordering since now I don´t know how and where to complain

Do Not Order from this company. We had a similar experience to many who posted. My husband ordered a 3 year subscription to The Atlantic in Jan. 06, after numerous calls & emails to Mags on the Net we received the magazine with the June 06 issue. In Sept. a renewal notice showed up stating we only had a 1 year subscription. Call to The Atlantic says Mags on the net only forwarded a 1 year to them. Emails to Mags on the net were not answered. Simply put they are a scam.

Poor customer service and no follow through. I had to contact the publisher directly to resolve my problem with no help from Magazines on the Net. Too much trouble for the small savings.

Do not subscribe to any magazines from this website!
I wish I had read these reviews about magsonthenet before placing an order. I have contacted and filed a complaint with the BBB of NY. They have to give the company 6 weeks to respond, so I'm waiting for that time to go by. I'll get my money back from my credit card company. I'm going to do everything I can to make this company go out of business...whatever that may be. They don't return phone calls, their inboxes have been "full" for a couple months now, and they don't respond to emails either.

Do not use magsonthenet. After waiting 4 months (August 8, 2005 - Dec 12, 2005) to receive my magazine (never did) and going through headache after headache with customer service (wouldn't return emails, weren't taking phone calls because of "high volume of holiday orders"), I was finally able to cancel the order. I missed reading my favorite magazine for 4 months because I kept thinking it would come in the mail! Place your order with any other company.

DON'T DO IT. PLEASE! Now that I've screamed I feel better. I lost my $38.95 on a subscription I'm never going to receive. What's really hilarious is that the phone number that shows up on my checking account is disconnected. What does that say?

I ordered a magazine on 8/31/07 and the payment came out of my checking account on 9/4/07. I have never seen my magazine. When I tried to call the number on my checking account I get a standard phone message telling me the number has been disconnected. I have written to them threatening to sue them and they never answer.

However, I get tons of email from them asking me for my business, giving me coupons, etc. What I don't get is my mag.

I don't understand why, with all the complaints on here, nothing has been done except complaining. Any suggestions on what to do about this would be appreciated.

They have a nice web site but....SCAM! Again, DON'T DO IT!

ordered a subscription with the usual $5 discount.
I waited 90 days, nothing arrived. They don't respond
to emails and only allow you to talk to a real person
for new orders. Simply AWFUL. I will never use them
again. I ordered 3 different magazines from NetMagazines.com, on 3 separate occasions, without problems.

I renewed my subscription in Feb.2006 and it is now July 2006 and still no magazine renewal. Spoke to someone yesterday and told them to credit my account. Tried numerous times to contact them via phone and emails with no responses. When I did speak to someone they were rude and they promised me another magazine subscription because of the mistake. Would never recommend this company. They scam people out of money. If you need to get a hold of them here is a number to speak to an actual person 1-516-239-6857 and ask for Cindy. That's how I solved it by calling that number. They are also not an authorized agency to be doing this is what the publisher told me.

I wish I had read the reviews before ordering from these people. I placed my order in February - - they charged my credit card and that was the last I've heard from them. I've sent them four e-mails requesting resolution and have never had a response. I'm going to follow up with the California attorney general's office to see what legal action can be taken. These people are obviously less than honest.

I can't believe this company is still in business!!!!!!
They are ripping SO many people off!!What is wrong here?
They ripped me off. And like everyone else i can't get hold of them by email or phone! They send me junk email still all the time, what nerve!!!!!!!
Please do not buy from these people!

I ordered a magazine for my sister as a Christmas present in December 2005.....it is now almost October of 2006 and she still hasn't gotten it. I called them over the summer and they said they'd take care of it...12 weeks later nothing!I can't call them because it seems they don't take phone calls anymore and I've sent probably 4 or five emails with absolutely no response. They were quick to charge my credit card and terrible about providing any type of service whatsoever!!!! And get this, despite trying to get my name off their mailing list...I still get emails that try to get me to buy another magazine or even renew the one my sister never got!!!!

I placed an order over 12 weeks ago. I have not received my magazines. No one will respond to me. This company needs to be reported to the better business bureau!

I called my credit card co. and disputed the charge. When you do this, 2 things happen to magsonthenet: 1. They get fined $25 and 2. The credit card co. pulls your $ from magsonthenet and posts it back to your account. TOO MANY DISPUTES AND THE BANKS/CREDIT CARD COMPANIES WILL TAKE AWAY THEIR ABILITY TO ACCEPT CREDIT CARD CHARGES - THE ONLY MEANS THEY HAVE FOR RUNNING AN ON-LINE BUSINESS. Same story for me - ordered a mag (US Weekly), credit card charged, never got it. I called US Weekly, they said they are no longer accepting business from magsonthenet - they were a "bad representative." Imagine that! BUT HERE'S THE KICKER...once I called my Credit Card Co. and disputed the charge...within 24 hr. I have been FLOODED with emails from Magsonthenet, begging, threatening, etc. me to reverse the dispute. Promising me a refund, perks, etc. DO NOT DO THIS! DO NOT REVERSE THE DISPUTE ONCE YOU MAKE IT B/C MAGSONTHENET WILL LIKELY NOT REFUND YOU AND YOU CAN'T RE-OPEN THE DISPUTE WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD CO. I have my money back and the ball is in my court :) Good luck everyone!

I agree - total ripoff. I never got any of my magazines. They responded to my emails and said they would give me another 2 magazines for free. Never got any of them. They are a fraud and I believe they started a new website called magsforless.

I ordered, my credit card was charged, and I waited the requisite 12 weeks. Then I started sending emails which were never answered. I also called the 800 number, which gets you an answering machine message telling you to use their website! I finally gave up and had the credit card charge reversed...

Magsonthenet will rip you off! Do not order from this shady company. They will take your money and you will not get your magazines. They do not answer the phone or email either. I contacted the State Atty General and they did nothing, the BBB did nothing. Magsonthenet are criminals and evidently they are paying somebody off so they can continue to get away with robbery.

Do Not Order! I ordered a 3 year subscription Oct 05 and have not received the magazine. I have emailed them 4 times with no response. No phone service at all. I am out almost $50. I can't believe a company can rip off this many people and get away with it....NetMagazines and Discountmagazines have always delivered for me.

I used their Canadian affiliate bluemagazines.ca. Two years ago, I put in an order for The New Yorker. It didn't go through but they offered to try again and they gave me a free one-year subscription to The Atlantic Monthly. Eventually, they said that The New Yorker no longer honored their orders and they refunded me my money and still gave me the free subscription to The Atlantic. However, when I renewed my Atlantic subscription with them earlier this year, nothing happened. Now the bluemagazines.ca site is gone and the Mags on the Net 1-877 number is disconnected. I suspect a scam. I should have checked them out before placing my order this year but, given my initial experience, I assumed I was safe. Buyer beware with this outfit.

Scammers! Scammers! Put them out of business.

They scammed me by charging my credit card in November 2005 for a 3 year magazine subscription. However, they only submitted a 1 year subscription. You don't find out for about 10 months when the renewal bills arrive. Then it is too late to reverse the charge.

Company owners: Fred & Cindy Schulman, 52 Lawrence Ave, Lawrence, NY, 11559, Phone 516-239-6857

Put them out of business. Here is how.

If and when you get your first magazine from the subscription, call the publisher to find out when your subscription expires. When you find out that it is only for one year, immediately call your credit card company to reverse charges. The Schulman's will probably call you and beg to reverse the credit card block as the credit card companies will block there account permanently if they get too many reversals. Do not lift the block. It will help put them out of business.

ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! I have never shopped at any online store where I could not get a response from customer service. You cannot get in touch with them by phone or by email. Their store bio is a BIG FAT LIE. There is NO live chat, there is NO number to talk with anyone (unless you count the pre-recorded message with no voice mail). I tried EMAILING (several times)with no response. I tried CALLING with no real person to answer. I tried FAXING with no response. I had ordered 4 magazines but only 3 showed up. This is a real SCAM market for them because you have to wait up to 12 weeks for your subscription. If it never arrives, it's too late to dispute the charge on your credit card (60 days). DO NOT SHOP HERE...UNLESS YOU LIKE FLUSHING YOUR MONEY DOWN THE TOILET!!!

Never heard back from them. Never got anything. These guys seems to be affiliated (or the same company?) with bluemagazines.com, which is a confirmed scam. AVOID!!! Trying to convince domain register (godaddy) to bring their site down....

Helpful phone staff. Unfortunately the order made several months ago was never received by the publisher and a reorder has yet to be found by the publisher. I have concerns but the prices are certainly tempting and the phone support has been reassuring.

***HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE***DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY****
I placed my order for US weekly August 1, 2005. I was extremely patient and waited 3 MONTHS before contacting them. They said they would get the problem fixed. I have sent them several emails, and as of Feb. 12, 2006 I STILL have not received a single magazine and have NO idea if I EVER will! My credit card was charged the full amount in August, and I cannot get anyone to respond to me as to if I can get a refund since I obviously am not going to ever get the magazines. It has been 6 MONTHS!!!

Ordered a magazine in February. Nothing received. Called today and they are closed until 4/14 - tried to e-mail and server is down. ????????? Sounds like something is going on.

I ordered 3 years of Consumer Reports through this company. Three months later I got my first issue, however the label only showed 1 year. After emailing their customer service 3 times with no response, I called them and they said it'll take 30 more days for the other two years to show up. I've waited not nearly 6 months and still the label says 1 year. Now when you call the number you get voice mail saying to go to their website and send an email. But they won't answer that either. I turned them over to the BBB. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!!!

Everything with my order went just as expected. My order came with 4 free magazines and a whopping discount as well.

I placed an order in September 2006 for a renewal of J-14 for my daughter. My credit card was quickly charged. After waiting more than the twelve weeks requested, I sent MagsOntheNet an email 1/3/07. Did not hear back from them so sent another email on 1/17/07. That same day they asked for additional information which I provided on 1/18/07. That same day they sent a message telling me to wait for the January issue and it would show the renewal date. By 2/14/07 I had received a February issue (the last one) and there was still no renewal date. On 2/14/07 I contacted J-14 and they said that they had received a renewal request but the bill had never been paid. On 2/14/07 I sent MagsOnTheNet another email copying the email from J-14 and I have yet to hear from them. I will never order from them again.

I recently ordered 2 mags thru Magsonthenet, one as a gift and one personal. Their website was very efficient and the order went thru no problem. The gift mag (US Weekly) started quickly and the personal mag (Car & Driver) took 9 weeks, which I figure is about normal. After 8 wks I called Magsonthenet and they located my order no problem and told me when it was sent to the publisher and that 8-10 wks was normal and sure enough with the next issue I found my existing subscription had been extended as promised.

Also very pleased to report NO SPAM resulting from dealing with these guys. I told them I didn't want to receive promos and never have. They promised not to sell my name and as far as I can tell they never did.

Mags on The Net is the way to go. From their speedy delivery, outstanding customer service, and magazine selection they are the way to go! Two thumbs up!!

This is the worst company ever!!! 3 different times I didn't get my magazine. They did send me a replacement but that took 2 weeks to get. If you try to call them it takes days to get them. And they don't answer your email. I will never get another Mag from them. They give a lot of lame excuses. Buyers beware!!!!!!!!

Best pricing. Ordering was simple. Delivery was fast. Great site. I plan to shop there for all my magazines. A few a my friends that referred liked it was well.

Don't be fooled by the relatively high ratings for Mags On The Net; sure it's really easy to order from them--just don't expect to receive what you've ordered or any response from them, for that matter.

I placed an order for Budget Living; my credit card was charged two days after I placed the order--fine. I subsequently learned that the magazine stopped publishing. I called the toll-free number only to get a recording saying they weren't in. I called a few more times: funny how they *never* seem to be in, no matter what time I called.

I then sent an e-mail asking them explaining the situation and asked for a refund. I got a canned message assuring me they'd get back to me in a few days. And that's the only message I've ever received from them about my order after three e-mails.

So--lesson learned. No more Mags on the Net, unless you're into sending money to a company with no expectation of receiving anything in return.

Just ordered US Weekly (plus two free trial subscriptions) at a really low price, then applied the MCL15 coupon code which took another 15% off the whole order during checkout!

We ordered Magazines for our clients with free gift cards. All our clients were impressed and the prices were great too.

PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. This is the worst company I have ever done business with. Emails are ignored, phone calls can not be placed since all mailboxes are full. Not even an operator to help you navigate the phone system. NYS Attorney General's office, BBB & my credit card company are the next phone calls I will make.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Very unresponsive, magazine subscription takes a long time to commence. I bought a magazine subscription as a gift in March 2006, it is now the end of June, and the subscription as yet to start. The subscription is for a weekly magazine that, they said, should take 4-6 weeks to begin.

This company is a joke. I ordered 2 comic book subscriptions in June 2005 and have never received them. I tried contacting them by email several times and they never responded. I finally had to call them. They said it was a problem with the publisher and offered me a free magazine, however it has now been six months and I still have yet to receive any magazines.

TERRIBLE--DO NOT GO NEAR THE BUSINESS!!
I ORDERED A 3 YEAR SUBSCRIPTION IN JANUARY 2005.
I STILL ONLY HAVE 2 OF THE 3 YEARS, AND IT WAS A FIGHT FOR THE 2ND YEAR. I HAVE COMPLAINED OVER, AND OVER, AND OVER.
THEY JUST DON'T CARE, AND MAKE UP THIN EXCUSES OF "WE ARE BEHIND IN OUR EMAILS, WILL GET BACK TO YOU."
I AM NOW FILING ADD'L COMPLAINTS WITH THE PUBLISHER & THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU.

TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE COMPANY****DO NOT USE THEM OR YOU WILL DEEPLY REGRET THE CHOICE.

I THINK THAT ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN CHEATED BY THIS COMPANY SHOULD BAND TOGETHER AND SUE THEM.

I purchased a 3 year subscription on 05-31-06 to TV Guide from MagsOnTheNet (Order # 224239). TV Guide said the subscription was for only 1 year. After filling out a report on MagsOnTheNet web site and escalating to the Superior Plan Company where they hand these orders over to, nothing has been done as of 09-28-06. They don’t have a customer service that is reachable their automated phone system runs you through an endless loop to nowhere. I’m still working on this problem. To add insult to injury they do have a working email system that sends me sales info almost daily.

My experience with Mags on the net has been very frustrating. I ordered 12/20/05. It is now 05/10/06. I have sent emails to every in box they have...multiple times. I have attempted to reach them via phone at varying hours on multiple occasions, with no response. I ordered "People" for my wife (several hundred dollar subscription)and have no idea if the company is even in existence, other than the website.

The miniscule savings is not worth the headache or hassel. I am also tempted to believe some of the positive reviews are fakes.

Do not order from this company. Due to the lengthy delays I can no longer charge back my credit card. IE they took my money and gave me nothing, and I have no recourse.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND
They never entered my subscription for the 3 years I paid for. Every time I complained they added six months or so to my subscription.
They still shorted me a full year. I reported them to American Express and the magazine.
Be careful if dealing with them.

Buyer BEWARE!! They took my order but nothing ever came through. Not one issue. On the phone they just made excuses and don't follow through. Shady, Shady, Shady!!!

DO NOT DEAL


Awful, ordered in October, now it's July and haven't received a single issue yet. The customer service just keeps promising.

Absolutely horrible. When I ordered, their reviews weren't so bad. Apparently, they've got straight downhill since then. They processed my payment for $51.95, but a year later, still haven't processed the order. When I call their customer service number, I get a recording. No response to my multiple emails. It looks like they've made alot of money stealing from folks in the past year, don't let them continue to do it to you... if you don't believe me, try contacting them before you order something. This company is a fraud.

Mags on the net is the greatest shopping experience I have ever encountered. There customer service is outstanding!!! They are what always keeps me coming back plus the great prices. Cheapest I have ever seen ANYWHERE! Keep up the good work guys!

HORRIBLE!!! Never purchase from here!!
Unfortunately I didnt do my homework and look for reviews before I purchased a subscription - I would have seen all the problems others had. Ordered a weekly mag subscription. After 3 months of nothing, contacted customer service. No reply. tried again, got a message after another 8 days that they would check on it. Never heard from them again, and now they will not even respond to any of my inquiries. Just filed a complaint (which they have MANY out there) with the Better business bureau.

MagsOnTheNet hands down has the best prices and offers. However, you need to click on the offer banner for the coupon codes.

I have been using them for a few years and have received great service! I love all my magazines and the great prices.

Great place for subscriptions. I ordered several magazine subscriptions and got every one within a few weeks. Great prices, great customer service. Highly reccomended!

This is an unbelievable service. Their staff is friendly knowledgeable and responsive. Everything I ordered was shipped pronto!

Keep up the Great work!

The best magazine Internet site I've ever ordered from in all my years, and let me tell you, I've dealt with many throughout my time. Mags define efficiency and effectiveness to the fullest - always providing and accommodating their customers in any way possible. I recently spoke to a Mags representative when placing an order and was treated with the utmost respect, something that you don't find too often these days when purchasing magazines through other magazine companies. Thank You Mags!!!!

It was wonderful dealing with Mags on the Net. The service was great and it's a wonderful way to give gifts without having to leave your home, especially for someone like me, since I work and don't have a lot of free time to shop.
All of the people on my last list received their magazines within a short period of time.
I will definitely use them again and recommend them highly to everyone.

Great prices and great service! I received my magazines exactly when they told me I would. I have told all of my friends about this site.

As my time seems to get tighter these days, I look more to magazines for my reading enjoyment. It is much easier to take time to read an article than try to make it through an entire book.

I linked onto Magsonthenet.com from a Google ad. They make shopping for magazines quick and easy. The site is clear and easy to navigate. Content is organized by subject.

They also seem to have good discounts and coupons. Check out was quick and easy. However, no information is stored for future purchases.

What surprised me the most was how quickly I began getting my magazines. One I got within the first month. I got all 3 for the very next month's issues. I thought that this was great service.

These guys are great! They make subscribing a breeze. These days all I do is sit back and read - my magazines come every month and I'm billed accurately. Thanks!

This is my favorite site to order magazines. They have great customer service and amazing low prices. Easy to order with free gift cards to mail out for any occasion and discount coupons!

Couldn't be happier w/the service of MagsOnTheNet.They chose terrific magazines for me and shipped on time. When I called customer service w/a question they were responsive and courteous. Obviously they want to keep their customers happy. Keep up the good work and I'll surely be back.

I would shop here in a heartbeat, the service was speedy, the order came quickly and exactly what we ordered, and their customer service people are friendly, courteous and know what they are talking about. Very high in my book A+

MagsOnTheNet to the rescue! Needed some last minute gifts for corporate clients and they came through big time! Kudos on their excellent customer service and professionalism.

I ordered a subscription for renewal of a computer magazine. That same day, I discovered that the magazine was no longer published and the company was out of business. I checked my credit card billing statement and the magazine charge was on it. I tried many emails, and several phone calls, only to be completely ignored. No one has ever contacted me. When I called, I was sent form phone to phone and asked to leave a voice mail, but each time I received the message that the voice mailbox was full and I could not leave a message. It is in the hands of my credit card company now. I will NEVER order from them again. Customer service does not exist.

TERRIBLE SERVICE!! Mags on the Net lied to me and they never respond to emails. I ordered 3 years subscriptions and they only gave me 1 year! Plus their phone lines are always closed all day long! I finally filed BBB report against them and they lied again! I want my money back or 2 more years to my subscriptions!!

Horrible Do not use them EVER!!!! I ordered US weekly Feb. 15, 2006. They told me 6-12 weeks. I called them in 6-12 weeks, they lost my order (but charged my credit card)and told me they would give me a "free" magazine with it. It is Now July, and I have received NOTHING!!!! It has been too long for my credit card to do anything. So now there is nothing to do but hope the BBB can help me. Do NOT USE THEM!!!

I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE SATISFIED WITH AN INTERNET BUSINESS THAN I HAVE BEEN WITH MAGSONTHENET. THEY ARE TRULY PROFESSIONAL, PROMPT AND RELIABLE. TOO BAD OTHER INTERNET BUSINESSES ARE NOT LIKE THEM!

Great experience with MagsOnTheNet! Ordering was really easy and they have the best prices! Will continue to do business with them and will recommend them to all my friends

I receive a number of magazines through MagsOnTheNet and am extremely impressed with the personal help they give. When I moved and had to get my subscriptions forwarded I was at a complete loss how to handle it. They gave me the personal help and guided me through the procedure. For this alone, not even taking into account their very competitive rates, I recommend them as my address for magazines.

Fantastic customer service and great prices. Very easy site to navigate and professional phone demeanor. I would definitely shop there again.

I lost about $80.00 to these SCAM ARTISTS.
PLEASE RUN if you receive any postal mail that has their name in the fine print. BEWARE!!
Also: see Better Business Bureau excerpt below:


Consumer complaints allege that “Mags on the Net” does not deliver its magazines within 12 weeks as stated on its website. Consumers stated that after ordering subscriptions off the internet, they were given a confirmation number for their order but have yet to receive their items. After contacting the company numerous times, they were given a message to respond via email. Consumers claim that they get no results whether by phone or email from them. Consumers also stated that their credit cards were still charged for magazines which were not delivered to them. Though the company has resolved most of its complaints, it has failed to address the underlined cause for them. Consumers whom the company has not responded to would like their money back.

Customer Experience

Based on BBB files, this business has an unsatisfactory record with the Bureau, because there is a pattern of complaints, and the business has not corrected the underlying reason for the complaints.

MagsOnTheNet is a fraud. Unfortunately, I didn't read these reviews before I was suckered into subscribing from this place. Like many others, I ordered a multi-year subscription and only received two of three years. Don't even try to contact them, they will absolutely not answer calls, emails, or snail mail. I tried many times to get a response but it's always the same--nada. I complained to the BBB, but their mail is returned from this place, also. So the BBB is unable to help.
Get the word out----don't do business with these unscrupulous vermin.

This firm is a scammer. Notice even their website no address is given and info, contact, help all give the same email address. I have over 7 subscriptions that have not been entered, and no response is received from the scammer ever via emails sent. Publishers indicate no payment has been received and if you research on the web, you'll find many others who have been taken in by this front for scamming.
I entered 2 and 3 year subscriptions and though the money has long disappeared, none of the magazines ever appeared. There is no phone # listed, and no address given which should have told me upfront that this is a front.

i am extremely pleased with this brilliant site! It seems to offer every possible magazine i am looking for in an organized and cheap way- right at my "finger tip" ! just click one button, type one word and you've got what you're looking for!!! MAGIC!!

BEWARE!!! These guys will take your money and not send a magazine. See complaints pages at:
