My 93 yr old Mom ordered the $200 Bob Hope set in July 2022 and it arrived day after she unexpectedly passed on July 20th. I immediately called Time Life and they said they were so sorry to hear this as she ordered often and they gave me return address to return unopened set to them. They received it in August 2022 and we have called every week for 8 month...

Time Life I cannot do business with this type of company

I placed an order for a cd collection Pop Memories 60's. When I started to place my order, I had given my CC information. This was all automated and they kept prompting me for "other offers" during this whole placement. Then I got a message "System error..please try your call later" and I was disconnected.

I then replaced the order and continued on with how I wanted to be billed. I selected a one time charge of $149.95. Again, the automated system kept prompting you for "other offers' which I kept hitting o for no.

Within the week I saw my debit card charged for $29.99 and also $149.95 for 2 orders. I called customer service who told me that once I give my CC #; the order is placed. I told him about the "system error and try your call later". Is this a confirmation on Time Life's part? He said to send the duplicate back with insurance and delivery confirmation. I did that.

I then sent a copy of my postage that I incurred for this expense $12.45 and that I needed to be reimbursed as it was not my fault that 2 orders went out.

Today I called Time Life and spoke to Nancy who said return postage is not applied (policy). I asked to speak to a supervisor (Frank) who kept telling me refund postage is not applied. I told him this was not my fault and the "system error..try your call later" was not a confirmation of the order. He said he would give me a 10% credit on a future order. I cannot do business with this type of company. I want my postage back.

Timelife is a horrible company to deal with
I strongly advise anybody looking for any of these CD collections to look for used ones or pirated ones anything other than dealing with Time Life they're an absolute crooked company and their customer service people are all like repo Men

Time life has an order process that does not involve a person. We ordered something that we saw on television but did not notice that the ad said 4 payments. all we noticed as $49.95. When we ordered, it is all machine done. The total price is not quoted until the very end of the process and there is no opportunity to finally accept the sale or not. After...

Time Life Billing / Customer Service

I ordered a 16 CD Country Western Set for my father's Father Day gift on 05/27/09. I ordered it online and it did state it was on backorder. Almost 3 months later, I called and the Customer Service rep said it was STILL on BACKORDER and she recommended another CD set. I agreed to the new order to find out they were billing me DOUBLE what the online price was! When I contacted customer service for them to adjust my account, they tell me I have to return the new set, wait for the credit and then order it again!

I will never do business with them again and hopefully this will protect other people from getting ripped off!

I ordered 100 Classics for Relaxation (a 5-CD collection) from Time Life at the introductory price of $9.99. This meant (even if I didn't know it b/c I didn't pay attention when I ordered, but that's my fault) that I was going to receive, and be charged for, add'l CDs from the same collection regularly. Well, today I received my first "add'l CD", which, if...

I ordered DVD's online from TimeLife.com after I saw a commercial. I called to check on my order since I did not receive any shipping information. The rep verified my order and shipping address. After waiting 2 weeks the order still did not arrive. I called again and was told to wait. I waited & called again. The rep said the shipping address was incomplete...
