I entered a contest and now get an e-mail for a confirmation of a subscription for HGTV. I did not order this magazine and do not want this magazine. This is not a way to way to run a business.

I received a copy of Veranda Magazine which I did not order. I called you about it and learned I need to send you $12.00 & something for a check that bounced. I did not write a check; I told you that & that I don't want Veranda, but I still get the magazine. I suggest you check you records and find out who ordered the magazine for me and stop sending me dunning letters...I know the name of the person who ordered Veranda for me, but I don't intend to state it here. If you want to know, contact me.

I received an invoice from Country Living on June 20, 2017 stating that I need to pay not in the amount of $15.00.
On June 12, 2017 i mailed a check to you in the amount of $15.00 for a 1-year subscription.
Please correct my account as I have already paid you.
Sincerely,
Gaye Baker

I've been trying in vain to purchase a copy of your new Pioneer Woman magazine. From what I've read, you only published 100,000 copies at first printing and another 100,000 on June 20, 2017. That amount of magazines could hardly supply all of southern California, let alone the WHOLE COUNTRY. It's sad that it is no unavailable to Ree Drummond's fan and there is no way to subscribe. HELP!!!

my name: Sonja Collier
I received an email saying you will renew my Good Housekeeping automatically if I do not decline. I CHOOSE TO DECLINE RENEWAL. I there is any balance due I will decline that also. I did not authorize any renewal. This continuous service clause is the reason I will not be renewing any magazines in the future.

My name is Vicki Nimmo. Several times when I have entered a sweepstakes, Hearst Magazines has signed me up to receive magazines. I've told you before, I do not want any magazines. Do not charge me for any magazines as I do not want them and will not pay for them. My email address is: [email protected] if you have any questions. Hearst has acknowledged my request to not subscribe to any magazines, but you continue to charge me for magazines. Please acknowledge this request.

I just cancelled Esquire intentionally for the first time. I have been a loyal subscriber for most of my adult life. I spent 25 years in the Army and was deployed 14 times. Sometimes I lost my Esquire subscription when I didn't keep up with my admin responsibilities, but I always reconnected when I could. I have survived several editors. Granger was good for the last 20 years, but Fielden broke me down. It is no longer a men's magazine. It must be hard to publish a magazine that is cherished by Gay and Straight men, and if that is Fielden's goal he has failed miserably on the Straight part. I miss my old Esquire......Tom

I do not subscribe to any Magazines at all, and have been receiving a slew of magazines,at my address for the last 15 years. They are for someone I have never heard of, and as yet have found a way to stop the waste of paper sent here. I cannot contact them, they keep sending me to places to subscribe and that defeats the purpose of stopping the onslaught of trash in the mail. Then They try to Tell me I am subscribed!!!! Wake up people!!! I do not read magazines, as I can not see the small type ! I am 60 years old and am going blind! Why would I waste my time on trash?!!!

I subscribed to Woman's Day Magazine and now I am bombarded with junk mail for every magazine you publish. I send them back saying not interested and still they come. This is why I will NEVER subscribe to a magazine again. I did not ask for your constant harassment by sending me junk mail every single week.

I subscribe to Family Circle and Good Housekeeping magazines. I was very upset to see the IKEA advertisement in these and other recent Hearst magazines showing 2 men in a loving position (obviously homosexual) on the couch together. I realize that everyone has a choice to live life styles of their own choosing, however, when you publish ads of this nature in family oriented magazines where my children see it, then that impinges upon my rights and the rights of my children and our Christian beliefs. If you decide to continue to use these type of ads in your magazines, then I will cancel my subscriptions - I believe that strongly in this issue!

Why don't you have UNSUBSCRIBE so people can say NO MORE emails. I have subscribed to the Oprah magazine which is up in April. I do not want your continuous service program. I am also tired of deleting the Ellie magazine emails. This is my notice that I will no longer want your magazines and stop all mail and emails.

I did not order anything and will waste no more time trying to figure out how to contact you people.
I tried to send you the text from your email indicating order acceptance, but got an error that it included HTML.
I'm sure someone can figure out how to cancel this order, if they want to

Please either have entries for sweepstakes or for magazine subscriptions/renewals...not both. I like Good Housekeeping, but will renew when I want to do it, not because I clicked the wrong thing when entering a sweepstake.
Also, your website shows no phone number for GH. I had to Google the Hearst Corp. to get it.
It would be great if you could remedy these issues.

your flash sale says one year subscription for one dollar. Not until I pressed submit did it tell me that it is only for 6 months. This is false advertising and a definite "bait and switch". Cancel my subscriptions. for all (7) SEVEN MAGAZINES. AND SEND ME A RETURN CONFIRMATION NUMBER TO MY EMAIL. ...

Just ordered 4 magazines on the "flash" sale fir $1 each. Now my confirmation says I'm also being charged between $4-6 PER magazine for 6 months of print access. What the hell is that? No where on the email or in the fine print does it say anything about that. What a scam. I want my money back
