Great value, reliable service
I always order through magazines.com when I can. Their prices are excellent, often there's a great offer for past customers, they do cash back through fatwallet...but most importantly, you get what you ordered. Everytime and generally much faster than the 6-8 weeks promised. Good folks.

Great prices and service
Ordered a subscription for my wife for xmas and the only problem I had was that it started there quicker than they promised...
Couldn't find a better price, and the one time I had to contact customer service, they were quick to reply and resolve my problem. 4 stars
Great company as long as you read the fine print
Great prices after subtracting large cashback. And they're good about not duplicating/overlapping subscriptions after renewal (a problem I've had with other mag services).
Minor caveats are: 1) They send numerous $5 and $10 email discount coupons, but while the vast majority of these only apply to a few titles, the wording on this detail is not clear. You have to read the fine print to see it's not all mags, moreover then you have to click thru to even see which titles apply. Then on top of all this, the prices don't properly display the discount or un-discounted status until you actually put the mag in your cart. Unfortunately you can't just ignore all the email coupons because occasionally a genuine "$5 of anything" comes along too. 2) Their automatic renewal service implementation. An optional auto-renew plan is nice, except magazines.com automatically renews and only mentions this fact in some wording of the confirmation email. Then a year later you silently have a charge applied to your CC. Come on, why not be transparent and just offer a renew/not renew checkbox at purchase time? They also purport to email you before the renewal charge is applied but I never saw any such thing (yes I checked my spam filter just to confirm!) In their defense they did stop the unwanted subscription easily and with no charges, but I can't help but perceive the whole setup as blatantly disingenuous. So to conclude: good prices and I believe them an "honest" company, however they're not above taking some extra money of yours if you're inattentive to their practices. 1 stars
Auto-renew thing stinks
I had ordered from magazines.com, valuemags.com, and bestdealmagazines.com and couldn't remember which one I had ordered from and received a postcard saying that my subscription would automatically get renewed, using the credit card I used in the first place, unless I called their 800#. Well since some of the subscriptions are gifts, no, that's not okay, actually the whole thing is not okay because I want to shop for the best deal IF I chose to renew. Calling was a total PITA and a at least once it took more than one try because I didn't have endless amounts of time to wait on hold. So don't do it, buy from the other sites!
