I ordered 2 magazine subscriptions from Magazania via the Internet in March of 2008. It is now mid-November 2008. I have been receiving one of the magazines with no problem.

I have not received the other magazine in spite of speaking with 3 of their phone reps and sending two emails via the form on their website (I got no response at all from the forms).

The 2nd two people told me I could get a free magazine subscription for the inconvenience. The 3rd person told me she would send me an email by the end of the day with ths solution. I received nothing.

The magazines take months to start coming, so you pay for them with your credit card before you know you're not going to receive the magazines. This leaves you with no recourse. This is probably enough time for many people to forget and just go away.

I Googled the Internet for scams at Magazania and found another site where multiple people complained about not receiving their magazines. This is obviously a scam.

I purchased a years subscription for "Family Handyman" magazine from Magazania.com---back in November 2006. Never have received any magazines. Was charged for them. Called the number for "Family Handyman" magazine on Magazania.com and they never received an order from Magazania. Called Magazania and the have answering machine and no one calls back. Here is a copy of my original order on line.

I ordered a magazine as a gift and 14 weeks later there is still no sign of the magazine. Better yet, the magazine tries to dodge any responsibity after taking the money by refusing cancellations and refunds.
