Half Priced Magazines Complaint - Fraud - Magazines

Posted by MRM on 2007-03-01:

I dont understand why people order from Half Priced Magazines. If you want to order a magazine go directly to the publication as they offer you deeper discounts.

Ditto MRM. You have to know that they are crooks. Nobody is going to sell magazines to you for half the price. The half
is for their pockets. Just use some common thinking and you
will stay out of trouble.

I and many others ordered them. (1) For convenience of ordering several at the same time, rather than going (and trying to find them) each separately. (2) You CAN buy them at half the price as I've done it up to this incident with others. I guess I got cheap-minded as I was ordering so many, that I decided to go to this company. Oh sure, I'll continue to order from the other discount magazine companies I ordered from previously, as the actual magazine company DOES NOT SELL THEM AT $4 - $10 for two-year subscription. If you know of any, let me know.

i, too, have ordered mags from other discount magazine services & have had no problems like i did w/ halfpricedmags. i can't get the price that i get from the magazine discount places from the magazines themselves. trust me, i've tried!!

Ebay!! Magazine subscriptions on Ebay, for a couple bucks a year!! Check the seller's rating, I have bought SIX subs there, got ripped off on ONE. Still average out paying a TON less than I would otherwise- in fact, I am paying less than the cover price of one mag for a years sub!!
