Lawanda was magnificent…. She answered all my questions (and I had many) with care and professionalism and warmth. I had called another magazine company to get some info on my subscriptions... See more

No magazine in almost a year

This company is joke. Did a 3 year renewal back in November 2021. Never received a single issue. Contacted customer service in mid February. Was told can't do a 3 year renewal anymore. Was refunded 1 year and they set up a new 2 year subscription. Was given brand new order number. June 1st and still no magazine. Checked account orders today and order number not even listed. This company has totally dropped the ball again.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!
There are others out there that WILL actually do what they say and offer.
Very disappointed

Service went downhill

I’ve been a subscriber to Wired magazine through discountmags for MANY years. Twice in that time, including currently, I’ve received two copies of the same magazine every single month. In addition the other issue I’ve experienced for several years now is that the magazine I receive is easily 3-4 weeks behind the Wired magazine I find on the shelf when I go to Barnes and Noble. Presumably, one subscribes to a magazine to get it as soon as it comes out. But every single month I get the print version in my mail 3-4 weeks later than it’s available in stores. I am not sure whose fault this is, but I’m seriously considering stopping my subscription due to these problems.

Least Expensive and Most Reliable Seller have Found.

Have bought magazines from this company for several years and they always come within 6-8 week. If any questions Customer Service answers fast and complete. Web site shows me all my magazines and their active/inactive status. Great feature is a Price Lock that assures renewal at same price even if publisher raises the price. Gives advance notice of renewal and allow chosing to renew or not.

Friendly Help Although It Was Not Their Subscription

I still received a magazine I cancelled some time ago. I thought I had bought it via DiscountMags, but that turned out not to be so. However, the person who answered my email was very friendly and stirred me in the right direction although it was not their subscription.
I have some other subscriptions with DiscountMags and was always very satisfied with the service. The prices are unbeatable! Especially considering that the magazines also have to be shipped. This will always be the first place I will come to to look for subscriptions!

WHERE IS MY MAGAZINE??

I ordered People magazine on January 8, 2022. My order stated that it will be delivered between March 5th and April 2nd. Here it is April 2nd and NO Magazine! I find it hard to believe it takes this long to process a magazine subscription. I would like a response to this review!

We apologize for any delay in service. We left you a voicemail and sent you an email regarding your issue. We reached out to the processing centers and they indicated your subscription will start this month. The typical delivery time frame for a subscription to arrive is between 8-10 weeks. That is the current industry standard. The reason it takes 8-10 weeks is because all the publishers print the mailing labels ahead of time. They will typically print 1-2 months ahead.

Ordered LUXE magazine

Update:
First of all, Kudos to Trust Pilot! Upon publishing my earlier review, they contacted DM. That generated a flurry of CS activity on the part of DM to remedy the issue. Thanks TP.

DM CS has contacted me several times, and they also communicated directly with LUXE. LUXE is extending the subscription period and changing the regional issue to Texas. DM also offered and provided additional compensations that soothed my ire and were much appreciated. Therefore, in the spirit of reconciliation, and to recognize Trust Pilot for their outstanding involvement, I am revising my rating in this matter.

Original Review: Ordered LUXE magazine. Did not receive the first issue until 5 months after order. Issues are specific for different regions. I live in DFW but they sent me Arizona. Contacted DM's CS initially about the delay and now about the error in regional issue. Have yet to receive a response. Subscribing to print magazines is akin to ordering VHS tapes...it's over. Never again.

It looks like you've been a customer of ours since 2016 - we thank you for choosing us for so long! We too are disappointed it took so long for your subscription to start and that you got the Arizona edition rather than Dallas edition. As a reseller of magazine subscriptions, we have no control over the printing and delivery of magazine subscriptions but it is our responsibility to fight on your behalf and keep you informed - which is what we've been doing. One of our Customer Service managers gave you a call and left a voicemail to assist in correcting the city. Otherwise if we're unable to accomplish that, we will certainly make it right.

First time ordering from the company…

First time ordering from the company and my order did not arrive within the specified time frame. I contacted CS and they were most helpful in resolving the problem with the company of the ordered magazine. CS was excellent and very fair. I will not hesitate to place my future orders with Discount Mags!!!

Great Customer Experience

I've been using DiscountMags.com for a few years to purchase my magazine subscriptions and they have been really easy to work with. I get everything on time and they even made it easy for me to cancel a subscription. I would recommend them for anyone.

They won't give up.

Best support I've ever received anywhere, yes that is the best anywhere! Many emails back and forth but support stuck with me till the job was done and all problems taken care of. Super Job.

I never write reviews

I never write reviews, but I am so very disappointed with this company! I placed an order beginning of may and was supposed to get my first magazine 6/24-7/24. Well, today 7/31 I still have not received my magazine. I contacted their customer service department to be met with an email saying it can take 10-14 for an order status request to be processed. I’m sorry but waiting 2 weeks to hear back about my order is absurd! It’s also crazy to wait 2 months for a magazine to get delivered. Overall very dissatisfied with the company and will not be ordering through them in the future!

Top Representative, JODI

On July 15, 2021 I spoke with Jodi at discount magazines about my 46 separate magazine accounts, showing multiple order numbers. She was AWSOME!! Took over 1 hour of her time to walk me through each and every account and letting me know the best rate, when the accounts merged, extended due dates and so much more!! She had patience, empathy, didn't rush me, listened and answered my questions over and over. I would recommend Jodi for a very special KUDOS for all of the above and more than I can express, she is an OUTSTANDING Customer Representative for Discount Magazines. Thank you.
