Difficult to cancel
Reviewed on 2021-05-07T13:37:12
Difficult to cancel. No correspondence from the company including no emails for the duration of my subscription 18 months.The only reference to the subscription number is on the envelope the magazine arrives in. Tried to get into my account to cancel which required password reset which I requested. This was supposed to trigger an email but this never arrived after several attempts and days. Not even in spam Mail. Had to Google the phone number and request cancellation of my direct debit. This is one of those companies that relies on people forgetting or being too busy to go to trouble of cancelling. I’m both unfortunately. They then make it as difficult as possible to do this by not making the process straight forward.

Have tried to change magazines half way through the subscription year. Not sure if it is a real person answering my emails as both times they have got it wrong with my very simple request.Won't be using them again when the subscription finishes, and not sure I will bother buying Good Housekeeping again. If I do it will be from a shop.

Book sent to wrong address and cashback denied
Reviewed on 2021-02-20T08:39:41
Bought a good housekeeping subscription for my mother last Christmas which included a free recipe book.I used a link via Quidco to also get some cashback. Magazine seems to have been arriving regularly at my mothers but the book was sent to my card address which is in another part of the country.
Also my cashback was declined by Hearst on the grounds that “your at your purchase was either amended, returned or cancelled” which is nonsense.
Beware.

Beware of taking any subscriptions with Hearst magazines,I had taken a subscription out in December2020 for good housekeeping including the good housekeeping ultimate recipe collection book which was a free gift,I emailed hearst magazine's to ask where my book was at the end of January, I had a reply to say there was a delay and I've emailed again but had no satisfaction and no book,so beware of promises of free gifts that dont transpire with subscriptions.

I wish I had read all these reviews…utter rubbish

I wish I had read all these reviews before subscribing. I had set up and ordered good housekeepingmagazine for my mother who lives in Cyprus and paid £58 for 10 issues with a cookbook which was supposed to be free and delivered to my house in England. Three months on, no magazines to my mother and no new cookbook to me.
Approximately 20 emails to them and several phone calls with various fake scripted apologetic people who didn’t log call, my 86 year old mother still hasn’t received her duplicate magazines I have now cancelled my subscription and they have refunded me. They tried to say it takes 15 working days to post a duplicate ((3weeks)) With regards to my cookbook they said my subscription never had this is part of my deal although it did. No point in arguing. I have now cancelled. Would have given 0 stars if it were possible.

Hearst Direct Debit
Reviewed on 2021-01-20T18:24:48
Following on from my previous review and complaint to our bank regarding Hearst taking money without our prior knowledge and basically Hearst breaking the DD rules,our bank have now made a full refund and I hope claim the funds back from Hearst. Our DD is now cancelled. Anyone having the same problem with Hearst should contact their bank. They shouldn’t just be allowed to get away with it!

I wish id read these reviews before I took out a subscription. Im currently trying to cancel my subscription.Apparently I can only do this by logging into my account, clicking on my active subscription and clicking cancel. EXCEPT my subscription isn’t listed on my account and and there’s no way of adding it! When emailing them to tell them this they keep sending me the same email back telling me I need to cancel it on my account - useless.
For all you people out there having issues cancelling, just contact your bank and tell them to cancel the direct debit then email Hearst to tell them you have done this as a courtesy - problem solved.
