Featured review
This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I purchased in December 2006 and paid for by credit card 2 subscriptions which I have yet to receive, and it is the eve of June 2007. I have sent e-mails to their "customer service" address to which I have received no response. The local prosecutor in whatever state this company is located should go after it for fraud.

The perfect Scam.

He takes small amounts so no one figures its worth going after him. Most people wait past the 90 day time limit for filing a claim with Visa. He keeps collecting money from thousands.

How can Visa corporation allow Jack Coleman to clear money through their services? Why doesn't the New York Attorney General shut this guy down. He does business on several web sites. wesellmags.com and bestchoicemags.com

The phone numbers listed with his domain are false, he doesn't respond to email.

Shut this guy down.

Same experience as most people. Ordered two magazine subscriptions in December 2006 as a present for my husband and never received magazines. Have sent e-mails also with absolutely no response. Now it's July 2007 and imagine my surprise when I'm now receiving e-mails from the company regarding renewing my subscriptions! What worries me is they have my account information. DO NOT deal with this company. It's all a scam.

I ordered a year-long subscription to the New Yorker in December. It is now August, and despite several attempts to contact this company, I have yet to receive an issue, though I was absolutely charged the money immediately. This is the most blatant scam I have ever fallen for. I've learned my lesson. What a rip.

Is this the same company that owns HalfPricedMags.com because they are still stealing money daily from people and advertising on Google with google check out and noone is stopping them or has shut down any of their websites. This has been going on for years and nothing has happened.

Why now? I ordered over $100 in mags in 12/2006 and never received one! I did receive an email from Holly@halfpricedmags.com that there was a mistake and that I would get a refund. But no refund and no numbers to call...

This web site is Terrible. I ordered magazines back in January of this year and they took my money and to date I have not received one magazine.

I too made a payment for a subscription in January and it is August and I have received no magazines... something needs to be done about this. This is ridiculous that this many people have been scammed on this website and they are still getting away with this!

I am also in the same boat. I ordered 2 magazine subscriptions in january 2007 and paid with credit card. I never received the magazines. Also, I have contacted their customer service via email and have received no response in two weeks.

I purchased a subscription February 6, 2007. It was paid for with a credit card. As of August 23, 2007 I have never received the magazine. I have emailed the company at the following email addresses - support@BestChoiceMags.com and BestChoiceMags.com. My internet system said the emails could not be delivered.

Ordered a subscription 7/23/07. Gave my credit card number. The magazine publisher never received the renewal information. Cannot reach Best Choice mags.com. Just a waste of money. The company is a front for theft.

I believe we should take action to report this to the to the Attorney General in the state they operate from and seek reimbursement or the magazine immediately.

I also have not received order from 2/07.

I ordered 2 subscriptions. when they didn't show up I tried emailing them because there was no other way of contacting them. I never got a response from them. luckily, the credit card charges never went through, somehow they failed. just today I decided to look into again and it looks like they have been canned. Thank g-d, seemed legit. This is the first time i have ever been wronged by an internet company!

I ordered a two year subscription to the Handyman magazine as a Christmas gift to my husband on 12/14/06. I have written emails - letters and have received nothing. Is there anything that we can do to get our money back?

YOU CAN GET YOUR MONEY BACK ------ IF YOU PAID BY CREDIT CARD YOU CAN CONTACT THE CREDIT CARD COMPANY AND DISPUTE THE CHARGE.

ALSO IN CHECKING WITH MY CREDIT CARD - THE CHARGE WENT THROUGH AS

WE SELL MAGAZINES - PHONE NUMBER [protected]

I CALLED AND IT WENT TO AN AUTOMATED PHONE MESSAGE.

MAYBE WE CAN FIND OUT WHO OWNES THIS WE WELL MAGAZINES

I made a purchase in january at the best buy in lancaster ohio. During the transaction the clerk told me that i would receive a free copy of sports illustrated. Several weeks later i received a copy of sports illustrated in the mail. A couple of weeks later i received another sports illustrated in the mail. I did not question it simply because, i never subscibed to it nor did best buy charge me for it. Here it is two months later and i check my bank account and see that sports illustrated has debited my account. I wrote to best buy customer service and they reccomended that i contact the store. I returned to the store only to be insulted and sent off by the manager telling me i would have to take it up with someone else. I did some checking online and found that many people also had the same complaint, in fact i see where there is a class action lawsuit being filed in california for this very same thing against best buy. It has cost me $25. Not a lot of money but enough to aggrivate me by being taken in by such an underhanded dealing. I doubt if i have any recorse here but i would like this practice to be exposed and wonder just how many other consumers have been taken in. I would be more than glad to speak to anyone about this and perhaps go into more detail. I intend to send this letter or complaint out to anyone who wants to listen and hopefully jump in and expose this type of dealings. Thank you for your time... Bill

Im sorry to hear everyone is having issues with Best Choice Magazines. Last year I ordered 4 subscriptions on 2 different occasions. The subscriptions came about 8 weeks later, but they did arrive. It looks like the service took a big dive from the service before! They were so cheap, no wonder why they didnt last too long.
