Best Magazine Direct

To all rateitall reviewers. I started this list so I could write about this horrible company. If any of you would like to add to this list about other companies who are scams, let me know. BEST MAGAZINE DIRECT is a scam company. I found them on the internet. I was thinking about subscribing to USA Today and they offered it. I had never heard of this company so I called them and they seemed legitimate. I foolishly ordered the paper through them. About nine weeks of waiting i finally started getting my paper. It was supposed to be for six months. Yesterday after four months it stopped coming. I called USA today. The lady i got asked me how I ordered the paper I told them BEST MAGAZINE DIRECT. This is where she dropped the bomb, she informed me that this company took the money I sent and kept the money and never sent it to USA today. Great. She told me to call them and gave me the number to BEST MAGAZINE DIRECT. Now when I call this magazine i get a recording to leave a message. I know I ... Read more

I ordered a Quilters 3 pack subscription on April 29th. I was instructed not to make any inquiries until the subscriptions were at least 12 weeks late. It still hasn't come and I get no response from this company. Their 800 # has been disconnected and they have a PO box instead of a street address. I think I have been scammed.

I ordered a bundle of six magazine subscriptions using a mbna credit card in august of 2004. The card expired in December of 04 and I hadn't received any magazines but also had not been charged. Then in March of 05 I started receiving all the subscriptions. 4 of the subscriptions have run out, but I still get two, with out ever being charged. so it worked for me.

This company doesn't deserve a rating at all!! I ordered USA Today and after never receiving it, called them and was informed that they had been having a problem with USA Today and would refund my money. Believe it or not I received a check for the full amount - UNSIGNED!! When I tried to contact them, the phone number had been disconnected

I ordered the Wall Street Journal through this company in 2005 and needless to say I never received a single copy of the newspaper. I am of course proceeding to dispute the charges. Beware of working through this website!

I had same experience with this company too. They charged my credit card for Wall street journal and asked me to wait upto 8 weeks for the delivery to start. Needless to say the paper was never delivered because wall street journal did not get the subscription. I will lodge complaint against this company.

I am in the camp of being defrauded by this disreputable company. I have filed several complaints with various agencies, and discovered some useful information I would like to share. The co-founder of the company is Greg Van Horn. He keeps a blog and it speaks volumes to his character and business practices. The web address is [email protected]. I particularly enjoyed the photos of his cars and trips and partying. If your money has been taken, please take the time to fill out a complaint with the IFCC. This agency partners with the FBI against internet fraud. The form can be found at IFCC.gov.

I had a similar (embarrassing) moment. I never received my order, yet (surprise, surprise) my AMEX was billed.
