"I ordered a 1 yr subscription in Dec 2016. I called multiple times when the subscription didn't arrive after 4 MONTHS! I NEVER spoke with a person - not once! I could only leave voice messages which they NEVER returned. I am not kidding. They are that bad. I eventually received the first issue in April 2017. A few months later I began receiving countless junk mail and robo calls because they were illegally selling/renting/distributing my name and address. Again, couldn't do anything to stop it except to leave voice messages which were NEVER returned. I eventually got the subscription canceled by calling the magazine directly. Now I cannot get a refund. You've been warned. Read the other reviews. I am not alone."
"Wish I'd read the reviews BEFORE ordering from Magazine Deals Now. After waiting two months for the start of a magazine order, I called the contact number to check on when the first issue might arrive. First of all, the only option when you call is to leave a voice message (which the voice indicates that your call will be returned within a day or two - NEVER RECEIVED A RETURN CALL). Followed this up with an email and, after some time, did actually receive a response (wanting an order number.....which I did not see on the paperwork I'd printed out). Thankfully, I'd paid via PayPal and could 1) see that they'd deducted the payment the same day the order was place and 2) was able to provide them with the transaction number (which hopefully would be enough information for them to look into this issue). After a few more days, wrote them again, inquiring as to the status of their inquiry and informing them that I would NOT let this issue go (despite it being a minimal amount spent) and had initiated a dispute resolution claim with PayPal (which I was awarded). So, in short, if despite the poor reviews written, you still decide to order thru this company, expect to have to work to get responses (and you may/may not ever receive your subscription). As I wrote to them, I should have known that "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is". BUYER BEWARE!"
"Do not use this service!!! I ordered a magazine as a gift in June 2014, currently it still has not been delivered. I contacted the company 3 times, I am still waiting for their "final" answer as to why the magazine has not been delivered. I also requested a refund, that request has not been addressed by the company. Reported them to the BBB."
"Ordered a magazine and waited. And waited. After waiting like a fool for 2 months, I first called the publisher and they said they had no record of my subscription, and they said they would have a record if indeed Magazine Deals Now had put in an order with them. I then called MDN with this information, and they said they'd have to check with their "clearing house", as in, yet another party to what should be a simple transaction! Not only that, they said it would take 3-5 days (additional) to look into! I told them that since the publisher had no record of the transaction, the problem was clearly on their end. They begged me not to dispute the charge with my credit card company as this would cost them money. After waiting 2 weeks, I disputed the charge, and then MDN finally said what I already knew, that the publisher never received the order! Duh. Apparently they're still using the pony express to run their business. Oh, and they sent spam on an almost daily basis."
"I ordered a magazine which ceased publication shortly after the order date. To their credit, they sent out an email explaining this. The only drawback was that the default option was a credit for a future order and you were required to send a reply if you wanted a refund. I got the refund a few weeks after my request. Note that they respond to support requests via email within a day or two which is fine with me."
"7-1-10, renewed Consumer Reports to start in Jan. 2011. When renewal letters started coming from Consumer Reports, I got suspicious, so called Magazinedealsnow and was told they would look into it. 1-12-11, and 1-25-11, left two more inquiries. Still no response. Finally Feb.1 I got a long email response explaining their middleman dropped the ball, and it is now submitted through another clearinghouse. So I don't know if I will ever receive my magazine, so be wary of this reseller. There are others out there with just as good deals."
"stay away from this ripoff website"
"I have been a customer of Magazine deals now for over 4 years. I love their prices, it's why I keep coming back to their site over and over again. I recently ordered a magazine for a friend as a birthday gift. I emailed customer service with a quick question and they responded in just a few hours. That is great service. Most companies take days so I was happy to see their response in my inbox just hours after sending in my question. So to Magazine deals now I say thank you and I'll definitely be placing more orders with you in the very near future."
"January I ordered a magazine subscription, waited my 14weeks... Nothing came, I contacted them and I was told to wait longer... well after five months I contacted them again... and I was told my order was canceled and that I was "emailed" a coupon code (which I never got, hmmmmmm) to use on their website instead of a credit card refunded... best part is the coupon expires, If I didn't email them I would have never known!!!.... I am still waiting for my money back... seems like a scam operation from the complaints I’ve been reading. just google search "Magazine Deals now review" see for yourself!!!

"I bought a GIFT subscription on 5/14/2009. The person I bought the magazine for has yet to receive and issue. I've been trying to contact Magazine Deals Now since July 24 and I have received not a single response to my emails.
Update?
I've been writing to customer service since July 24 and I have yet to receive any feedback on this subscription I placed over two and a half months ago.
Update 8/23/2009
The gift subscription finally arrived. A lot of waiting, problems getting in touch with customer service to get answers but at least the subscription is being received."
