Morons
I paid for a year subscription online and saved the receipt. They keep emailing and snail mailing bills to me. I write on their bills that I paid it, receipt number and date of payment but they don't respond. I call them and they verify my payment and just say, Sorry for your inconvenience." I've emailed them 4 times with a forwarded receipt but they keep emailing bills and snail mailing me that my payment is due. No magazine is worth all the hassles I've had!!! Their subscription dept. is run by total MORONS!!! ***I called again and they said that my subscription is paid for and they don't know why I keep getting Ebills.

Poor customer service
Below is a copy of my correspondence with Better Homes & Gardens. I bought a back issue of one of their magazines via their website for my son's bedroom. We were interested in purchasing or building the bed with build in shelves. The magazine sent did not have the information. I sent a reply as listed below and spoke to a rep via the subscription line, who could offer no further contact numbers (however, was kind on the phone-unlike the customer service for the email responses.) To date, I have not had any further information from BHG. My feeling is that the customer base is so large that they feel that it is of lesser importance to reply to something so small as a request for information regarding a purchase.
My thought is: "what would the advertisers who sell products listed in their decorating pages think of the fact that a consumer wanted to purchase and was blown off?" Please post this for other BHG subscribers to think twice before renewing the magazine.
My first email in March to you did not go through due to an error on my part (frustration.)
Thank you so much for posting this!

The information automatically pulled up when I clicked on the room site and showed me your order form. It came up as "this room cab found in this issue" and listed the amount. I followed your online directions and bought the back issue.
Are you going to supply me with the information for the MOD ROOM or are you more worried about whether or not I am asking for a refund? I can honestly say that the response below has me less enthusiastic with purchasing a subscription or ever bothering with BHG again.
Never mind: I will send the magazine back in the original box. Please place a refund my credit card. I will send it certified mail--- just in case it gets lost. I will not trouble you with an inquiry into any of your products or services again.

Good Morning Meredith,
The BHG internet site page told me that the magazine that I ordered would have the MOD BEDROOM listed in inside. My husband is very interested in either buying or creating the headboard and the black table as shown. Which of the issues has this information inside?
Any assistance would be wornderul as we go to settlement the 1st week of April and wish to have the set by then. Thanks so much! Yolanda
