Terrible customer service
I think 1 star is too generous. This company is difficult to contact and when you eventually do take days to reply asking you for information you have already submitted. More than three weeks later than it should have arrived despite numerous ignored emails, I am told that they attempted to deliver it but couldn't (letterbox?) so was being returned to sender and when they received it if in good condition would refund my money. Still no refund or magazine. Terrible customer service. I wouldn't advise anybody to use this company.

Unwanted automatic renewal!
I ordered a years subscription to Gardeners world magazine for my partners birthday last April. I was horrified that Mags Direct renewed it this April and took money from my account without my authorisation. Beware of this company!

Hi Nick,
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand your concern regarding the renewal.
However, we would like to clarify that MagsDirect does not offer subscription services or automatic renewals. It appears your order may have been placed with a different company.
We recommend contacting Gardeners’ World directly, as they manage their own subscriptions and billing. If you believe this review may have been left in error, we would kindly ask that you consider updating or removing it.
If you have any questions or would like us to help point you in the right direction, please feel free to get in touch.
Best Wishes,
