reviews and complaints

Why hasn't any authority looked into this thieving company with all its name changes. Lifetime member means nothing when they change names and scam a whole new conglomerate of members, taking their money.

With as many complaints as there are, why does the State of Minnesota give them license after license after license to steal from everyday Americans.

I had, at one time, wanted to drive to Minnesota and walk up to the physical address and demand my money back. However, the trip would have cost me more than my refund was worth. Millionaire's by now.

March 17th 2000 I signed up for "Handyman club of America". This was all well and I received my Handymen jacket (for my birthday) and received the magazine for years. Then for a while back I haven gotten the magazine, years back I asked the mailman why and "no luck", then called the magazines 800 # to find out why I'm not getting my life time promise on the magazine... I've been very busy for years and found that it was happening to others too. they told me to let you know about the problem. Since I was signed up for the Handyman Club of America Life Time subscription, that you could start my Handyman magazines back again...

I signed up for a life membership in the late 1990s. I paid $325.00 to purchase what was supposed to be the premium membership at the time. I was supposed to get a tool 3 or 4 times a year to try out, at a minimum. I received some monthly magazines over 3 or 4 years...then nothing. I had tried contacting them any way that I could, but all methods of contact had changed or was disconnected. I have no idea who to contact to resolve this as I have tried several times over many years. I want my refund, as this is theft, pure and simple. Does anyone have their contact info?

I have been a Handyman Club Of America lifetime member since 05/2007 and have not got anything in years. I got a few magazines at the start and a router that I pay for. But the club stop sending everything since 2007 or let me know why. My card is [protected] please let me know what I paid all that money for. If not, I want a refund from the company or do I need to contact my lawyer. Thank you

I see that you have numerous complaints about the Handyman Club of America. However, I don't see anywhere the contact information. I tried looking them up online and neither phone number I have works. Can you please send it to me? I am also a lifetime member of the Cooking Club of America (same address) and can't reach them either. Thanks for your assistance.

I have been a member of Handyman club of America since March of 2008.

At first it was great, I got three different tools to review. I finished the reviews on their website the same month I received the tool.

Then I wasn't getting any tools to review. I called to find out why. I was told the membership had grown in such a way that it would be a while for my name to come back up.

A little while later the magazine stopped coming. So I called again. This time no answer.

My question is are the handyman club of America still operating? If so is the reviews starting back up?

I became a member in 1996 and have heard nothing and received none of the benefits what has happened i had paid for it for my lifetime and now it seems i have been forgotten never received any notice that scout had taken over

if your not going to honor my membership i will have to consider its a breach of contract and take further action

I became a Lifetime member in 2012 and received a few magazines before they stopped coming. I had heard that they shut down and I was out of my membership. I happened to see this site today. Is this club still functioning? If so, I agree with many other complaints that lifetime should mean lifetime. My member # is [protected]. Please let me know, thank you.

I was a Life Time member for several years until one day my magazines just stop coming. I have been trying to get them started back and they tell me they "can't find my membership". I have my member number and all the information for them to find it, but they just blow me off. Isn't there a law against this sort of stuff? My member number is [protected].

I joined this club 2/13/1997 as a Master Life Member. Apparently they figured I'd have died by now. Not the case. I would like to be notified to the mailing address on file as the phone# has changed as to why I'm not receiving any of my benefits. As I remember this membership was not cheap.

My Member Number is [protected] I received a magazine for a while but have not received it for many years, I just found my information for my membership and I would like a refund or the magazine subscription that I signed up for.

I became a life member in September of 1997. member # [protected] the only thing I received from the club was a notice that they had changed their name to Scout.com. I tried to contact them many times about my membership and products that they stated came with the life membership. received no replies from any one. I can say that I received nothing from the club, no magazines, product test, hat, jacket, However they did send me a plastic membership card

I have been a life member since 2009 (Member number [protected]) and have not been receiving any of the family handyman magazines I was promised, and since i have been fully vested in this account, I feel that I should receive a refund of my membership fees. Otherwise I would like to have the products as promised.

I became a Life Member in December 1995. Member [protected]. Have tried many times in the past few years to find out what happened to this club.

I was never notified of it being sold or given the opportunity to opt out. No refund was offered. No communications at all.

Paid $365.00 to have a lifetime membership. I received a small scraper as a product tester. I have not received a handyman magazine in years. I did not receive many magazines after I became a life member. What has become of this company? Do they still have a Handyman magazine?
