Meredith 2024 APQ Calendar and BKLT

Account # [protected]

I have been billed for the calendar that I did not receive and did not agree to receiving. Please remove the payment of $28.79 you say I owe off my account.

I contacted customer server at [protected] on Wednesday Sept 20. When an agent came on it sounded like they were in a market place, noisy and lots of people talking. They would take my name and info then not come back and ask me for the same information again. All the while everyone was talking and a lot of grunting could be heard. No one was helpful.

Thank you,

Joanne Bergman

Desired outcome: Please remove the payment of $28.79 you say I owe off my account.

Meredith Books not requested but received

8-15-23

Received cookbook that I did not request or order. I am senior citizen so I am not able to go to post office to return unwanted books. Therefore, I paid for cookbook and requested you to not send anymore. Subsequently I received another book which I do not want and will not pay for. I left book on mailbox and marked, "Return to sender" which the mailman picked up after two days. So, I am not certain if you will receive, but I will not be responsible. I am not able to get to post office to return unwanted books, so this becomes a hardship for me.

I do not want further books and will not pay for them. I will not be responsible for returning any unwanted books! Please do not send any books or any other unwanted and unordered items.

Desired outcome: Would like a response and assurance that I will not be further troubled with items not ordered.Thank you for assistance with this troubling experience.

Is Meredith legit?

Our verdict: Complaints Board's thorough examination reveals Meredith as a legitimate entity with notable strengths. Despite a 3% resolution rate on customer complaints, which invites a closer look, Meredith stands out for its commitment to quality and security. Clients considering Meredith should delve into its customer service record to gauge compatibility with their expectations.

Meredith earns 91% level of Trustworthiness

Perfect Trust Endorsement: Meredith achives 91% ligitmacy per Complaints Board. Highly recommended, yet always stay vigilant.

We found clear and detailed contact information for Meredith. The company provides a physical address, 5 phone numbers, and 2 emails, as well as 3 social media accounts. This demonstrates a commitment to customer service and transparency, which is a positive sign for building trust with customers.

Meredith.com has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.

Meredith.com has been deemed safe to visit, as it is protected by a cloud-based cybersecurity solution that uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to help protect networks from online threats.

Meredith.com you are considering visiting, which is associated with Meredith, is very old. Longevity often suggests that a website has consistently provided valuable content, products, or services over the years and has maintained a stable user base and a sustained online presence. This could be an indication of a very positive reputation.

Meredith's website seems to offer jobs or career advice. While this can be a helpful resource.

Meredith website is deemed to be popular and indicating that it receives a high volume of traffic. It is important to be cautious when using a highly trafficked website, as it may be a target for cybercriminals looking to exploit vulnerabilities or steal personal information.

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • While Meredith has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 3% of 26 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
  • Meredith protects their ownership data, a common and legal practice. However, from our perspective, this lack of transparency can impede trust and accountability, which are essential for establishing a credible and respected business entity.

Meredith privacy/ccpa violation

I received a subscription to Eating Well magazine as a gift. someone I know purchased a subscription to the magazine and received one subscription for free. now i know why it is free. they make up for the cost by selling your information without your consent.
without my knowledge or consent, Meredith Corporation sold my contact information to numerous entities, willfully violating my CCPA rights. I am now receiving tons of junk mail to my home address. I know it was Meredith Corporation because they mispelled my name. I contacted Meredith Corporation asking about their privacy policy regarding subrcriptions made as gifts and not y the actual subscriber and no one has replied. i will be filing a complaint with the secretary of health and CCPA.

Desired outcome: no one has replied or resolved my issue

Meredith Southern Living magazine

Bills to my wife for $21.55 for a one-year subscription to Southern Living magazine, one that she did not order, continue to arrive at our home. After first learning of the bill, at my wife's request, I informed the billing office of the error, but their only change was to send bills with an increasingly threatening tone. No subscription was ordered, and no payment is forthcoming. Since my wife died several months ago, if the billing office wishes to seek collection from her estate, proof will be needed that, contrary to what she claimed, she did order the subscription.

Meredith Country gardens substituted with magnolia

I have subscribed to country gardens for several years and it was one of my favorites. While I understand that it was discontinued, the magnazine Magnolia was an incredibly poor substitute. I can get through the magazine in about 15 minutes. I find it boring, with little content, especially in relations to country gardens. It was an incredibly poor decision and very disappointing. I would have cancelled it, but it the subscription is up within the year and wasn't worth my time. I really miss the magazine. I will not renew Magnolia.

Meredith refund for cancelled subscription not received

I subscribed to Better Homes and Gardens magazine on March 20, 2019. I paid $36.75 (Receipt #1401-5082). By May 18, 2019 I still had not received a magazine, so I emailed asking what the status was. I received an email on May 20, 2019 that "we are unable to locate your account at this time." I replied that I would like my subscription cancelled and to send me the refund. On May 28, 2019 I received an email that said "We are in the process of forwarding your refund information to your credit card company. Please allow a few weeks for this information to appear on your statement." I have yet to receive this refund.

Here is the email chain:

Hello,

I am still waiting for my refund ($36.75) to show up on my credit card. When will this happen?

Meredith magazine subscription

I got a slip for a free subscription for better homes and gardens with a product i purchased. It's been 3 months and all I get are daily emails and junk from them. I've emailed customer service more than 40 times, always get an email back saying "a customer service rep will write back" but I never receive anything. This company is complete [censored]

Meredith magazine subscription

Magazine subscription purchased in july from The Meridith Store Online and my mother has yet to receive the 1st issue. I called customer service and the agent insisted I haven't paid for the subscription, I tried to give her the payment receipt number I received via email and she wouldn't take it. She then chastized me for waiting so long to call and when I told her that the website said the 1st magazine would take up to 4 months she said that's impossible and hung up on me. A previous order also took months to arrive and they claimed a warehouse burned down. This company is bottom of the barrel. I sent proof of payment from my credit card statement. Waiting for a reply.

Meredith receipt #[protected] paid for a year nothing received so after three months

I paid a year subscription, Receipt #[protected] in July this year and so far nothing received. I called customer service number and sent multiple emails no answer yet. The phone calls are answered by operators that ask you to call other numbers which don't even have my information. The site has no information or way to track your orders. This company just takes your money and does not deliver. I felt rip off. I don't recommend this company at all.

Meredith magazine subscription

On Dec 20, 2017 I received an email notification that I had subscribed & paid for Family Fun magazine. And another email to the same tune for Parents magazine. I hadnt signed up for either. Since it said paid, I checked and have since been nervously checking my credit cards for these amounts, but dont see them - which is the good news.
I logged into the website & was shocked to see my mailing details down to my apartment number all filled out for me! I clicked unsubscribe as quickly as I could. I have still received Family Circle, Parents & Family Fun magazines despite never signing up for them, and additionally I have gone in and unsubscribed for these. My customer number is [protected].

Please help me - please DELETE my account from your records. And please unsubscribe me from all magazines ASAP - I want to stop receiving these right away!

Thank you

I receive 4 magazines from Meredith Corp Rachel Ray; All Recipes; Food and Family and Better Homes and Gardens. You recently stopped RRay as a monthly - now a quarterly. It was a nice magazine, pretty pictures, quality paper, etc. However, I don't think it warrants as a quarterly. I feel that I have been 'cheated' (for loss of a better word). That is also due to the fact the first issue is Winter/Spring . Not either 'wintery or springerly'. When my subscription runs out, I will be sure not to renew RRay!

Meredith quilt-lovers favorites books

I have several times tried to cancel this subscription for the Quilt Lovers Favorites and still I receive books related to this subscription. I do not want to receive any more books from you and want you to stop sending these books to me. I just received a book for Quilt Lovers Favorites #16 which I did not order and will be sending it back unopened. I will not be paying for the book since I did order it or approve it's shipment. My Account number is #[protected]. Do NOT send my another bill since I will be sending it back unopened via the US postal service. I do NOT want to receive any more of these books.
