Docstoc

I signed up for Docstoc's subscription service to get access to a sublease agreement I needed. The $19.95 seemed a bit steep, but I couldn't find it anywhere else. Doc worked and I was able to watch some of their courses on using Excel, a bit dry but informative. I called to cancel my subscription and I didnt have the problems everyone else had. They cancelled it without giving me much hassle and I haven't gotten charged again. Actually, the girl on the phone was one of the nicest, most helpful customer service folks I have dealt with. Good doc and video. Good service.

I activated an account to access some interesting documents for work and paid the initial monthly fee. I was shocked to see one of my documents on their website - but it had been posted on another website for anyone to download - so that part was fair enough. But, I didn't find that this was all that great a site and not really all that usefull or well organized. The following month; after I was charged I called to stop my subscription. The good news is that they did credit me for the month that I cancelled, but they went on to charge me again the following month and had to go through the same exercise again! I am hoping next month is better.

Hi All... these people are cheaters. In sept'11 I was in need of project report, where I was going thru google and got hold of this site and paid $25 thru my credit card. But I never got suitable document what I am looking for rather lot of spelling mistakes and scrap documents. When I paid it clearly mentioned that $25 is for one month for unlimited download, where in it didn't allow me more than two documents.

One of the cheating part of this team is, I never authorised one of the transaction which is debited to my credit card exactly one month later my registration. THIS IS REALLY BIG CHEATING. I have block my credit card now and raise the disput with Docstoc people... no response till today.

Please don't try to get registered, even if you register you will never get suitable documents...

I paid for and downloaded a legal form from Docstoc and it had several spelling errors. If they are going to charge for a document, they could at least do a spell check on it before selling it.
Also they are spammers. I only paid for the one document, and did not sign up for the premium service. They keep sending me emails nagging me to pay for their premium service. I un-subscribed, but they keep sending a string of spam email. Today I logged in and looked at my profile, and all the choices for them to send me email notices were turned on again!
If you sign up with Docstoc I suggest you use a throw away email address so you can cut them off.
Edited to clarify: the website is www.docstoc.com and for throw-away email address I would suggest a free service like www.mailexpire.com if your internet provider doesn't offer such a service, so you can cut off the unsolicited email advertising that will surely follow when you sign up with Docstoc.

This site is a total SCAM. It says you can download a document free. Before you download, you must grant them full access to your facebook account. Once you grant them access, you can dowload. The problem is once they get access to your facebook info and friends, you then go to a page that says you must pay for the document. There is NO free download of the document. It is a phishing scam. They are liars and cheats that steal your information. DO NOT FALL FOR IT LIKE I DID.

I signed up for he service and viewed 22 documents. After realizing, nine days after signing up, the content of the site did not serve my needs I called to cancel my subscription. The first operator I got was rude and continued to try and talk over me instead of first listening to me first. He knew my problem without even hearing it supposedly. I was initially told I "Downloaded" 30 documents and when I pulled up my library to my suprize it showed I had "downloaded" 22 documents. I never downloaded any documents from the site but was told I would be charged 19.95 for a months subscription because of these "downloads". After the nonexistent customer service from the first operator I was put on hold and transferred to the supervisor. The supervisor in turn did not listen either and continued to tell me I was the one wrong. I guess the training manual at docstoc must be filled with everyone's issues with the site so the personnel answering concerns will know them before you call. That way they can be twist the truth, be rude, condescending, belligerent, not listen and tell you how they'll get paid regardless of your true reason for calling! My best advise - D O N O T S U B S C R I B E - its a rip off!

I have been using DocStoc for about 7 years now. Whenever I need a professional grade document, DocStoc is my first stop for several reasons. First, their documents are professional and top of the line. I have purchased several documents and used them as templates for Manufacturing Agreements, HR forms, Leases, Distributorship Agreements and many others. We use DocStoc's documents as the template and then have our lawyers review the documents. Almost always, the lawyers have been impressed with the quality of the document and its completeness. We used DocStoc to create an employee handbook and had our Payroll provider (Paychex at the time) review it and advise on items that were not appropriate for California. They came back with two changes in the entire 80 page document which I thought is a testament to the quality of the documents. Another document that we needed was an international distributorship agreement which we purchased from DocStoc. The document itself was complete with notes about which sections apply to which region and additional notes about best practices. Overall, we have been very happy with the quality and professionalism of the documents purchased on DocStoc.
