Very disappointing
Very disappointing. Very basic short history information and not worth the subscription so l will wait for the second issue to see if there is any improvement. l had this subscription before and it was good but the present issue was very basic and boring.

Illogical
Sadly I missed an email sent 14/6/24 reminding me that my Radio Times subscription would renew on 14/7/24 for 6 months, 26 issues. On 15/7/24 I noticed the money had been taken from my bank account so I immediately cancelled and received an email telling me that a refund of the remaining credit would appear in my account within 10 working days. It didn't. I contacted them again and after a couple of emails pointing out that we had already been through the cancellation process I was told that I would receive a refund of £81, not the £117 I was expecting, or at least minus a couple of copies. I have just spent an inordinate amount of time on the phone only to give up in exasperation at the illogicality of their processes. If I can summon up the energy to pursue this I will but at the moment I've got battle fatigue.

Please accept our apologies for the recent problems you have experienced when cancelling your subscription, it appears there was an error with the cancellation which led to a delay in the process, I have today processed a further partial refund to cover additional copies sent out after you had requested the cancellation. Once again, please accept our apologies for this error and the frustration it caused.

Wait for delivery
I dislike how I received my magazine several days after it was released in the shops, so having to wait longer to own it

I had a subscription to Homes and…
I had a subscription to Homes and Antiques for 2 years with buysubscription then when I got my renewal I was told to use the OurMedia site. I'm not sure if this was a scam as I subscribed under that company and never get my subscriptions I have to request every single copy as they never show up. Are they the same company or have I been scammed?
Response to Sharon: thankyoufor your reply. I have sent two emails alreadyto the company requesting that i be sent july, august and septemberissues as i have not received any of these and the order button for these on my account has an error message. It tells me to email customer service which i have done twice. I would like to get what i have paid for and not have to request each issue. Thanks.

Hi Tracey, I am very sorry to hear of the problems you are experiencing with your deliveries, I can assure you all issues are being dispatched on publication, Our Media is the correct name of the publisher who moved away from Immediate Media last year, you haven't been scammed. I have added a mail monitor to your deliveries, so you should now see an improvement from the October issue due out this month.
