Like most others, I signed up for the free trial, but didn't receive any notifications regarding a £36 payment despite cancelling. They will not refund the money, just criminals.

Unexpected Renewal at Higher Cost

I was automatically renewed at double the price without clear communication, and it seems they hope you'll forget about it until they take your money a year later. An email notification wouldn't cost them anything! They suggest logging in to cancel, but upon creating an account, I was directed to call a number or use a contact form. Three days later, I've yet to receive a response. They took £50 from me right before Christmas, money I had set aside for my children’s gifts. Disappointing experience with this organization. While I enjoy their magazine, I won't engage with them again!

Difficult Cancellation Process

They intentionally make it hard to perform any reasonable account actions, like canceling subscriptions or closing accounts. Anything significant requires navigating their help page. A frustrating experience, as they seem to be struggling to stay afloat.

Terrible Experience with This Company

This is the worst company I've ever purchased from. I ordered a beauty advent calendar shortly before advent, received an order confirmation, then nothing. After numerous emails and calls, I learned on the 1st that payment had failed internally. I agreed to retry payment the next day and got an email confirming it was on its way. By the 9th, I called customer service again, only to find out payment was never processed, and the item was never shipped. They couldn't even confirm if it was in stock. The email I received was essentially false. This has been the worst experience I've had with any organization. I strongly advise against using this service.

Do Not Subscribe!

Steer clear! I requested cancellation of auto-renewal, only to have £60 deducted automatically. I received no response to calls or emails. Avoid any subscriptions from this service, as you'll likely get caught in a renewal membership!

Steer Clear of This Service

Set to auto-renew at a much higher price without clear communication, hoping you'll forget until they take your money a year later without warning. It's frustrating that they don't send an email! They instruct you to log in to cancel, but upon creating an account, I was told to call a number or use a contact form, and three days later, I've yet to hear back. They deducted £50 from me just before Christmas, money I had saved for my kids' gifts. Very disappointing experience with this organization. I enjoy their magazine, but I won't deal with them again!

Website Issues

I can't access anything on the site, including my account and orders, and had to reset my password again. I've never been satisfied with this service. They seem to take money without care and don't issue refunds! Look at other reviews—this is a frustrating organization.

Ignored Cancellation Requests

The subscription itself was fine, but I received no response to my cancellation messages sent through their portal for 14 days. I had to cancel the direct debit myself through my bank. This organization seems only interested in collecting subscription fees, with no customer support afterward. They finally responded 17 days after my original contact, but only after I posted this review. I upgraded my rating to 2 stars from 1.

No Refund Policy

Last year, I purchased a year's subscription, but I found £59.99 deducted for another year without my consent. When I contacted the service, they claimed they couldn't stop the payment or issue a refund due to their policy. This is unacceptable, especially for a pensioner like me. I now face additional financial strain during these tough times. I advise anyone considering a subscription to check the auto-renewal policy carefully.

Subscription Issues

I signed up for a magazine package that included multiple perks. After a while, they informed me they ran out of one item and would replace it with more magazines, without giving me a choice. I called to cancel and request a refund, with an agent promising to return my money within 24-48 hours. Five days later, nothing happened! I called again, and another agent made the same promise. They are dishonest and have been overwhelming me with daily emails, despite my attempts to unsubscribe. They did eventually refund my money, but they completely disregard my request for no further contact. I want nothing to do with them anymore!
