Memebership Fees
I ordered books for under $15.00 and then they start charging me a .10 cent cahrge then they started charging me a $12.00 membership fee also...I never agreed to the membership...
I had to go to my bank and get a new debit card so they couldn't keep taking money out of my account without my permission. When I called DBS they wouldn't give me a refund. They said they would cancel the membership but, after reading everyone else's comments I didn't think they would stop so that is why I asked for a new debit card. No one should buy from DBS Books...guess I need to stick to Amazon...what a mess for a few books.

Hidden $19.95 fee
I was charged $19.95 for a membership fee for joining the club when I placed an order. I had no idea there was a hidden fee for ordering books. When I called, I was told it was plainly printed on the shipping page or something like that. I told them it was probably in very small print and that I thought they were dishonest. I wish I had come across this site before ordering through them. They were also very slow in getting the books to me. I ordered on August 29 and received them on Oct. 5th.

hidden membership fees/ Fraud
Purchased a book from this company for $11 and they started charging me $19.95 every month for a membership that I did not sign up for. They said I did not cancel in 3 days.
The membership is to be able to purchase discounted books.
I don't want this crap.

Hidden Unauthorized charge
I ordered a book ($16.93), and when my American Express bill came in there was that charge, plus a charge for $14.95 as a membership fee charge. This was unauthorized ... never ever agreed to nor was it ever mentioned . . . When I called the company, they did not want to refund the money, but they finally said they would but that it would take a couple of billing cycles. I then called American Express who told me not to pay the bill. I told them that I read that DBS would recharge the credit card for membership fees at a later date. American Express set it up where they won't be able to do that. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE PEOPLE. They will rip you off big time!!

Unauthorized charge
I ordered books on 9/1/09 and was charged correct amount. On 9/3/09, there was another charge for $19.95 from the same company. I never authorized this charge and was not informed of it. I have since searched the Internet and see it is probably a membership fee. I never authorized a membership.

Hidden Membership Fee
I ordered a book from DBS Books for a total cost of $7.33. After reviewing my bank account on-line, I discovered a $19.95 charge to my account right away and another one month after. I immediately called the 800 number listed and found that the charge was for a "membership fee". I requested a refund since I didn't sign-up for membership and was told that an email was sent with 3 days to respond and that since I had not responded within that time frame the membership fee could not be refunded. Did not see email asked for total refund, was told they could do one refund and it would take 30 days.
I am furious about this fraudulent, involuntary charge and the response I got was sorry "click" from the telephone representative. After some research on the internet, I found complaints against this company just for the month of August 2009 (today is 9/17/09). This company is STEALING money by way of unauthorized, bogus membership fees. I have forwarded my dispute to my bank to get a refund and will send a complaint to the PO Box in Boca Raton in addition to complaining here and on other "RIP-OFF" websites.

unauthorized membership fee
I ordered a book for my child totaling $9.90 and found a second charge on my credit card statement for $19.95. When I called to inquire, I was told this was a "membership fee." I stated that I never requested or authorized a "membership fee" and demanded to have it removed from my credit card. They refused saying the book was on its way and therefore no changes could be made to my account. I told them to immediately cancel the membership and I would be returning the book shortly. More than a month after that phonecall, I still have not received the book. Now I can't even find the website to contact them again. They effectively stole $30.00 from me and I got nothing.

Fraudulent Charges
Purchased books where they automatically set you up with a free membership to something. I didn't see anything about this at the time of purchase. Then they charged me $19.95 a month for 3 months for this so called membership. When I called them, they cancelled it. However did not provide me with a refund. They would not give me to a supervisor, nor would they disclose the owner/president's name of the company.
