Hi all
Having a problem getting the magazine to honor a subscription I took out in September last year.
Long story short, I bought a pile of stuff which I can use and the telemarketing girl offered 4 yrs subscription to seal the deal. I was happy with deal but when I checked prices on their retail outlet website, I did not save a lot but was still happy.
However, they will not agree to the subscription deal as it "is company policy not to offer 4 yrs" I have subscribed to 4WD Action since about issue 112 and now Modern Fishing and have bought a pile of stuff off them over the years-all of it works and nothing has broken so quality is ok.
I would not have agreed to the deal without the subscription.
The Qld Office of Fair Trading have contacted the company but they still will not budge.
Has anyone else had problems dealing with the company as I will need support from others who have had similar issues to go further with legal action?
Their staff monitor this forum so please PM me with details and keep this thread to general comments.
A thought crossed my mind-perhaps the magazine will not be printed in 4 years and will be digital only as they are pushing that side of it with attractive offers? The magazine has less pages now than it used to have and the number of advertisers seems to have reduced in recent times.
I will be out of contact for next week but will check emails when I get to NT.
cheers
Peter
