Publications Unlimited USA
Reviews and Complaints

I called GQ who referred to "Priority One Clearing Services" who referred me to "Publications Unlimited USA" and this company does not answer their phone and does not return messages.
I would never knowingly subscribe to this putrid rag magazine. It has covers glorifying Allen Iverson, a violent racist, and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, another racist, sexist bigot. This vile bigotry came into my house.
Would they also subscribe black people to the KKK magazine?

I am sending this email/message to whoever it my concern.

I am trying to be as nice as possible. I am sick and tired of your company sending your magazines to my mom's address. My mom is a senior citizen and she doesn't want to be bothered with your magazines. So read this very carefully: Stop sending your trash to my mom's mailing address. She didn't order nor do she want any of your magazines. So stop sending them to her address.

They charged me twice the going rate and will not answer the phone ever or answer email message sent to their site. They are scamming me.

Online purchase of two subscriptions to The Week Magazine ordered on November 4, 2022. They charged me double what they should have.

Order numbers: 5584164 and [protected].

I want to cancel my HGTV Magazine. When I went to the HGTV site, it said the magazine had been ordered through Publuiishers Unlimited. I'm not sure how this happened because I have never heard of this company.

Also, I have been receiving two other magazines which I never ordered.

Please help!

My HGTV account number is [protected]

My current subscription began on 7/14/2021

I am a regular subscriber to the New Yorker and my subscription is renewed annually and automatically through them. We have received two copies of the last two issues of the magazine. I called the New Yorker and I was told that Publications Unlimited had submitted a subscription order on my behalf on or about April 17th. That order was not authorized, should be canceled by you, and any proceeds charged to my account remitted. Also can you please let me know the details of how and why the order was placed. The number of the address label of your subscription is NYR1072748922/0#. I called and left a message but the call has not been returned. If you would like to reach me to discuss please call my law office at [protected].

My name is Marcie Coward, 4440 Old State Road, McKean, PA 16426. Last month I began receiving several magazines I did not order. After speaking to customer service at Working Mothers they stated my subscription was ordered through Publications Unlimited. I would like all subscriptions cancelled immediately. Could you kindly tell me how these subscriptions got started. You can contact me at [protected]@gmail.com

Thank you,
Marcie Coward

I want this canceled and a full refund for $18.00 I hope I do not have to get the Better Business Bureau involved . Thank you

I had been receiving Discover magazine, which we enjoyed. Then in April 2017, I decided we needed to save money and called Discover to cancel. I learned the info about Publications Unlimited and called them. It took a lot of pressure on our part to get satisfaction. The woman couldn't find my name at first. Then she located the account. It's too late to cancel the account because the renewal had been in December. Then under pressure, she said they'll cancel it, but not send a refund check. Further pressure in that same phone call got her to say she'll send out a check next month (May). So this last magazine issue would be the final one. Now I have received my second issue along with a bill. I called Discover and took down notes, along with the name of the representative. I then called Publications Unlimited, but got a recording that it was past their hours.

Few months ago, I started getting few magazines that I did not subscribe. Magazine companies could not cancel as it was requested by Publications Unlimited. I called Publications Unlimited and they said they will cancel the order, but will take 4-6 weeks. Several weeks later, I got a call from some one claiming to help us cancel, by reducing number of magazines to 2 instead of 6. I told her that this was supposed to be cancelled long ago and I wanted to confirm I do not owe any money, I was told that owed them $695. They can adjust it for $195.

I called up Publications Unlimited after getting their number magazie (one of the magazines I was getting), I was promised that they will cancell it right away and I do not owe them any money. But, again, they will need 4 - 6 weeks to close this completely.

I think this is a scam that need to be fixed before more people are cheated.

My deceased mother paid for many duplicate orders publications thorough this service. I have been unable to but needto cancel the subscriptions and receive refunds.
These included Globe, In Touch, Readers Digest and Time and possibly more.

My husband started receiving unsolicited magazines and I contacted the magazines themselves and was told that Publications Unlimited was behind it. When I googled them, I found that they have so many complaints against them, it's ridiculous. I just called them, and as soon as she verified our name and address, she asked if I was calling to cancel the magazines. I said, "Yes. Surprise, Surprise!" I went on to say that if this ever happened again, we would pursue whatever action was available to us. I told her I saw upon googling them, that they had a less than stellar reputation. She was talking over me and making no apologies. She tried to say people have them confused with someone else. OK. I finally hung up on her. It's horrible that you don't get to choose to have a relationship with this "company". It just happens without you signing off on it.

I recently started receiving magazines from Fitness and Women's Health- two subscriptions I never signed up for. I contacted the magazines directly and they told me that I had been signed up through Publications Unlimited and that I couldn't cancel my subscription- only the agency could. They provided me with an 800# to call Publications Unlimited and it was an invalid number. i called it and a recording came on telling me that "A message could not be recorded for this number. Goodbye." I then turned to Google to try and find any contact information- their website has nothing!
I'm VERY irritated! How am I supposed to cancel these fraudulent subscriptions if I cannot get ahold of the company?! I have gone over my bank statements and do not see any charges on my accounts, however I am worried that they may be billing an old credit card or something and I do not want my credit ruined because they are running some kind of scam.

I have received at least 15 different magazines to many to name. I have called each magazine company to ask them to cancel because i didn't order. I have been given different company who are ordering the magazines for me that didn't order or want. There are subco and there phone number know one ever answer no matter what time of the day. The other company is publications unlimted i just called them at [protected] they have a recording that says they only answer from m - f 9 to 5 pm. I bet when i call on monday there will be another recording. This magazines being sent to my home has got to stop. I am calling the better business bureau on monday. After i call publications unlimted. I will not pay for magazines that i didn't order.

Many of us have been receiving unwanted magazines that are extremely offensive and embarrasing to us. I began receiving Maxim, which was one of four unwanted magazines, for no apparant reason. I contacted Maxim and they gave me the [protected] number to call publications unlimited. I called it just to find out it is a bogus number. No one will answer you call. I then decided to call my local Better Business Bureau (BBB) office to get this handled. they refered me to the BBB of Southeast Florida and the Caribbean. I went online an filed a complaint and was told that it could take up to 30 days for a response from publications unlimited. It took about 5 days and I had a response from Publications Unlimited. As I expected, they shifted blame to Direct Clearing [protected]) and stated that they are the ones that made the order. Publications Unlimited assured me that the magazines would stop. I was given a representatives email address from Publications Unlimited ([protected]@publicationsunlimited.com) if the problem persisted. Hopefully this information will be helpful to those of you who are in the same boat. Good luck.

I unknowingly signed up to get 5 different magazines from Publications Unlimited, which include Marie Claire, Star, Glamour, Shape, and Self. On top of these I have been getting People, Cosmo, Automobile, ESPN, Golf Digest, and Parent. I would be fine if I didn't have to PAY for the 6 extra magazines they are sending me that I DIDN'T sign up for! I tried to just cancel my whole order of the original 5 but they said that I had a contract with the magazines that I couldn't cancel. I didn't sign anything and never talked to the magazines so there isn't even a chance of a verbal contract. I don't want magazines I won't use and don't want to pay for them to just be thrown away! And everytime I try to call, I have to call about 5 or 6 times before I get someone because I didn't call during "business hours of 9-5 of EST" which, in fact, I did.

WOW, im not the only one who has experienced trouble with this company. I was ready to end my marriage over this. I didnt confront my husband cuz i know he is not like that. But people do change, so it worried me. I decided to hide these magazines and investigate (bank statements, phone records etc..) Something needs to be done with this company! Can you imagine the hurt and marriage trust issues this has caused for our fellow Americans?! I feel horrible because i sent my 11 year old son to check the mail! And those magizines were there. It gets even worse, my son who checked the mail has the same name as my hunsband! Legally, I should find out what i can do. I can afford to do so. The # they left on my e-mail was [protected] amd received same message to call back at normal hours! I feel horrible for treating my husband so badly and he does'nt even know why. I have some explaining to do. Please if anyone need support in getting this company to pay for their errors let me know. Hope this never happens to anyone of you. Thanks, Nadine

My husband began receiving the magazine - maxim. We are a very religious family and it caused my husband and i problems until we called maxim to cancel the subscription. . . And when we asked who ordered this all they could tell us was that it was paid for in full buy publications unlimited. We never ordered this magazine. We are not the type of family that looks at trashy magazine's! When we call the 1 / 800 / 267 / 2611. . . That we were told to call to get in touch with publications unlimited. . . It goes directly to a operator saying to call back that there hours are from 9 - 5 eastern standard time. . . Well there time and my time must be very different because it doesn't matter what time of day or when that you call. . . They are always closed and i even tried pressing 0 and it sent me to a voicemail system that i am not even sure saved the message because i sure haven't heard back from them. It is sad that people have to do this to families. . . It is hard enough working all day, raising a family, trying to work hard to keep a marriage together and then filth comes out like this that is not even wanted in the home. I am going to contact every agency and law advisiors that i have to try and make this company stop. My 10 and 7 year old should not have to go the mail box and ask why daddy is getting a magazine with an almost naked woman on the front of it. My family has values!

Playgirl Magzine closes their business and I still have an unused subscription of one year worth $40.00. They ask me to submit a form whether to cancel or continue with online ssubscription. I chose to have my money being refunded. They kept on telling me that the refund check is on the way but until now, I have not rec eived anything from the mail. Now, they are passing me from one company to another, giving me telephone numbers that is being answered by the machine.

Whatever happened to the money I paid them.
