ukdebc Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Wow what a great deal.... just took care of several Xmas gifts.... 3 years for $9. Ideal for the preteen/ teen boys small gifts. I am guessing that the first issue won't be until Jan - so will make out "gift cards" to hand out at Xmas:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vsa3janes Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Thank you! Thank you! I have been looking for a deal on Kids Discover since my DGD said she wanted it for a gift. The reg price is $33 and they had it for $16. She will be so excited when it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbdinos Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Word of warning..... My son started receiving sports illustrated for kids... I have never purchased it and I called and they said it was either a gift subscription or a free offer because I had no account with them. This was about 8 months ago. Today I was debited 31.95 from my checking. It said from magazines.com. I called and they said it was an automatic renewal that I agreed to when I bought the first subscription. However, they had my email address and gave me the pw they had for the account and under order history it shows nothing, not the first one and not the renewal. She said she would credit it and I said "the 31.95" and she would say "we will credit the entire renewal amount". Sounds fishy so I told her I was going to file a dispute with the bank and she got crappy and said to do whatever I wanted. Watch your accounts and be advised what they will do with your info if they get it. jbdinos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim_r4 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Something like that happened to me too. I won an auction on ebay for 4 different magazines. They were Family Fun, Kids Sports Illustrated, Good Housekeeping, and Reader's Digest. When they started showing up, so did MAXIM Magazine!!! I knew it was connected to the ebay purchase, since I purposefully spelled my first name wrong on them and the Maxim one had it spelled the same way. My son (who was five at the time) got the mail for me one day and came in the door asking me, "Mom, what's a sex bomb?" I was FURIOUS!! I called the company and they said that it was a free gift subscription. I told them to cancel it and they said they would, but they just keep coming. It's been two years now. I have called them four or five times to tell them to stop sending them, but they still show up. I swear someone there must be renewing my "gift subscription" out of spite for my evil phone calls! They go straight from the mailbox to the trash can, so I figure if they want to keep spending the money to send them, they're the ones at a loss. And hubby never complains when he gets to the mail first ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harleyquinn12 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I had a bad experience with wholesalesubscriptions.com. I ordered 3 magazines from them and after 10 weeks, none of them were arriving. I emailed their customer service for about a month and no answer. On my last try, I abrubtly received a refund for 1 of the magazines. The other two were very inexpensive, so I gave up. They have never come either. For $3, it's not a bad risk, but maybe make it a trial run before ordering more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csteag Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I too have been waiting for 4 months for my magazine order with no response from customer service... I do not recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnask8pro Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I also ordered and did not get it. Does anyone have a contact email or phone number? I think its time I started raising holy H**L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukdebc Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I ordered and did not get anything yet - 12 weeks later. I went back to the web site last night and emailed CS to see if I get a response. The FAQ said that most first issues are delivered within 6-8 weeks, some 12 weeks but all within 16 weeks of the order date. I am guessing if I get a response from CS it will be "wait until 16 weeks is up and then call back" - but I will let you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanelleR Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I too have been waiting for this to come!!!! My DS asks EVERY day if it is here yet. I will be bummed if they don't ever send it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukdebc Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Anyone get their magazine yet? I am now at 14 weeks ( of the max 16 weeks) my email to CS was not replied to. I went back to Paypal thinking that I would open a dispute - but aaccckk! that needs to be done within 45 days. I think I should have used a CC for this- but didn't as I wanted to be sure that I did not inadvertantly sign up for some lifetime subscription:tongue1:. So now what? anyone have a phone number?

dgagnon Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I also emailed wholesalesubscriptions and have yet to hear anything at all from them. I wish someone had some other kind of contact info. Did anyone use a cc for this and maybe have a number on their statemnet?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgagnon Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Well it looks as if they closed shop. The website is no longer available I guess I will just file a complaint with the bbb not that it will do much good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortness Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I ordered 2 different subscriptions from I believe this same place (before Christmas). One was cancelled and I got notification. The other, I never received, nor did I get a response when emailing them from the invoice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bet Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Placed an order for a gift subscription in November. My niece never got the magazine. After several unanswered emails, I filed a complaint with the BBB. They (BBB) sent me an email the other day stating that the mail they sent to the business (Wholesale Magazine Subscriptions) was returned as "Undeliverable" or they are no longer in business. My cc was charged $36.00 back in November. On the cc statement the charge is under Codara Creative. I sent the BBB additional info and am waiting to hear back. If you placed an order with this company and have not yet received your subscription, please file a complaint with the BBB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
