    I recently ordered The Love of Quilting magazine that had the great offers of DVD's and such. I have yet to get even one magazine yet and I already got a renewal notice. Is this normal for that magazine??

    Thanks

    I know when i first started subscribing to all these magazines i got frustrated because i waited to about 2 months to get the first issue and they keep sending renewals before you are even half way with your membership. It is so annoying to me

    Yup. They're out for the money! I ordered my subscription through the mail but they sent me a bill via email, then a couple of weeks after I paid for the subscription they mailed me a bill. I emailed them that I had paid and received another bill and the answer I got was that "sometimes things et crossed in the mail..." I even got a reminder notice that I hadn't paid. I got no more notices after that and my subscription kept coming so I guess everything got caught up with each other...

    You are right seems like they send a renewal notice almost as soon as you pay for your subscription.

    Sounds like the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing in that magazine office. :roll:

    So agree! I hate to receive junk mail. When this happens to me I get so upset. This waste only adds to the subscription price.

    Yes, but don't buy the one issue you think you missed because they will send you the 'back' issue!!! Really hate that.
