PC Magazine

So, I bought an attractively priced Nest Hello door bell/camera. I got an email confirmation for my order. When I click on"View Your Order" in the email, it takes me to a page where there is no shipping information whatsoever. Your further choices are "Contact Us" which is an email address that does not produce a response. And a return policy.

I would not buy again A 5% savings on a $200 item to deal with a company whose name implies a connection to technology, but is unable to deliver convenient shopping experience offered by mom and pop online shops.

Bought a laptop from thier site. It came and I went to use it but the product id that was listed on the bottom of the laptop did not work in activating windows 10. Wrote them of the problem (it is the only way to get a hold of them) and they just sent me the same info that is sent with the laptop on finding and activating the system. Then they wanted me to take a picture of the product id and model & s/n... which I did. 5 days later they finally wrote that a product manager was looking into it. Not once did anyone call me. They took their sweet time in finally getting back to me and so now I sit here with a laptop that can not be activated and with a company that I'm dealing with that does not value their customers in my opinion. I have now requested a return authorization and of course I have not heard from them. Buyers beware of my lousy experience with them!

I am writing this after having used Zoom for over a month for work. Zoom has been a frustrating experience because of connectivity issues and after much frustration, I did a google search on Zoom. I have read many reviews discussing the pros and cons of Zoom and some are fairly serious, such as intentionally writing a backdoor program for Mac Zoom installs that would allow hackers to access a user's camera. There is no way this could have been done accidentally. And there were also lies about end-to-end encryption. There is no way this could have been told accidentally. PC Mag, however, simply finds excuses and glosses over these very serious issues.
I trusted PC Mag in the past, but my experience with Zoom in contrast to PC Mag's review of Zoom along with reviews from others about the bias PC Mag has towards its advertisers has made me realize Zoom should not be trusted.

I bought a Dell 7610 laptop based in part on the review PC Magazine did on the hardware, where they gave it a "4/5" and called it "Excellent". I then spent the next 8 months fighting with Dell because I was shipped one of their defective laptops with the touchpad issue that affected some 40% of the entire production line. 4 touchpad replacements and a motherboard replacement later, I'm finally getting sent a replacement laptop. PC Magazine still has that review up calling the 7610 "excellent". See here: https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/dell-inspiron-16-plus-7610

There's nothing excellent about the 7610. It's a piece of crap with a 40% failure rate.

I will never trust anything these shills say again. If they recommend it, I won't buy it.

PC Mag asked us to "review" Netflix and this is the review I gave it: "Netflix is a perveyor of child pornoraphy (Check out "Cuties", (but don't actually watch it) which shows graphic detail of an eleven year old girl in sexually explicit scenes. I understand there are others just as bad and socially irresponsible." Shortly afterwards, I got an email from PC Mag stating that my review had been rejected "as it contains content that is in breach of our community guidelines."

The site is very useful. Various types of information they provide. It's really amazing.

While on a stay at home order to help the fight against covid 19. I decided to use Go Puff.com, a delivery service. Being new to this particular services, I decided to step out on faith. In the belief of honesty and decent customer service. I ordered 8 simple items for about $50.00. The service was quick and I received my order. However one of my items was a half gallon of milk, that was already outdated. They offered to refund my money, but a refund wasn't what I ordered. I still need a half gallon of milk. They will never have to worry about me again.

PC Magazine was at one time a well respected publication. Since other channels have garnered a status beyond their own, they have resorted to selling out their integrity for product placement and affiliate arrangements. They recently fired John C. Dvorak for producing an article based on facts about 5G. This shows they are not interested in publishing anything factual; they are only interested in the financial interests of their sponsors. Money over truth.

I ordered five PC's for my business that were warrantied for one year and PC MAG SHOP sent two broken computers and have been non-responsive when confronted with the problem.

By the way, no phone number and when you email them they respond in delayed fashion with hoops to jump through and then when you jump through those hoops - there are always more afterward. WOULD NEVER ORDER FROM THEM EVER EVER EVER AGAIN.

SOMETIMES YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. JUNK.

So the info they have on their site is not only free but very useful. I'm not complaining about their reviews but just one aspect of the site, "Deal Of The Day". As I write pcmag has advertised a Dell Venue 8 16gb tablet for $129 with their Coupon Code. When trying to use the code your sent to Dell.com who states the code is unredeemable. After chatting with Dell customer service they state they have no control over third party deals. And there was no way to reach pcmag's customer service. So not only was the deal invalid on pcmag but I wasted a lot of my own personal time. I will say this about Dell, their customer service was great.

Two weeks ago I bought an LG V35 ThinQ from AT&T. After about 10 days the phone started dropping calls, applications started shutting down, Android Auto ceased to work and the finger print pad is, at best spotty. To my surprise, LG has not provided AT&T (at least not the direct AT&T store I used) with any cases or screen protectors. When I called to have my phone replaced LG responded by saying, "We do not have a product warranty." They continued with, "you can send the phone to us and in a few weeks we'll decide whether we can fix it, but we will not replace it." I should have known when they offered a $400.00 credit just to purchase the phone that it was a Lemon. Now I have to pay 30 months for a phone that is best served in the garbage.

Note - LG denied my review 15 times, stating ad blocker issues. I turned all off and tried the review on 4 browsers.

Sorry PCMag, but they will not allow this review...

I ordered a 65" LG OLED TV on shop.pcmag.com They immediately charged $2,249 to my credit card. Delivery was supposed to be three days. Four days later, I emailed (NOTE: They do not provide a Customer Service phone number - little wonder given my experience.) A bit later, I got an email stating the TV had shipped. I was overjoyed! But, that was false. I tried to track it, and FedEx had not received any shipment. The same thing the next day. And the next. And the next. Finally, after four days with the website stating my order had shipped, discovering each day (via FedEx - no way to talk to anyone at shop.pcmag.com) that that was not true, and concluding they had no intention of honoring and shipping my purchase, I disputed the credit card charge, cancelled the "order" and demanded my money back.

I'd give shop.pcmag.com zero stars if it were an option. I feel I was taken advantage of and have no reason to believe this is uncommon, especially in light of their direct email misrepresentation to me about having fulfilled and shipped my order when they hadn't. I will never deal with them again, and would never recommend anyone else do so either.

Together wimps. They offer a review section but ask me at the end of my review if I was afraid of hurting somebody's feelings. Hell no I was giving a review on steam which is garbage customer service entity. They owe me money they won't pay it back they screwed up my game as well as Rockstar security and that was my purpose of writing review on PC Mag. I swear it must be run by 10-year-olds and 10-year-olds that are pure as driven snow. Embarrassing I would never want to work for such a company that cannot allow people to post their anger towards a company. It's a review if this company Steam and Rockstar scathing reprimand for the Earth deplorable conduct then they should get the best words for it. PC mag is for what rhymes with mag. I'll be surprised if they even post my comments. Folks this is a sad state, this is deplorable in denying our rights to say anything you want. And those of you that will rationalize and demean our constitution by saying I can't offend anybody you guys have it wrong. These folks in these companies that think they have amnesty from the law of the United States are arrogant as arrogant as those in Congress who believe they can step on our rights. PC gag Is the epitome of a corporation that steps on our rights. Screw the fact that these people make a lot of money, but since they're trying to take control of your brains, between words are supposed to convey ideas. It's a sad sad time you young folks I'm sorry I'm sorry that it's the people from my generation that have started this movement of lies and see. Telling you that black is white, wrong is right, and not to fight for your rights on any medium is wrong. Screw PC Mac, screw Steam, screw Rockstar.
