Went from addall.com to alibris site quickly and easily ordered a book from my existing account.

Have ordered many magazines from Discountmags.com over several years. I continue to use it because of the several thousand magazines offered, the prices are almost (but not always) the lowest and most important, I can rely on them to always deliver a first issue within 7-8 weeks. In the rare cases where there are delays they reply to my inquiry fast and follow up with a date certain. Their website allows me to see all my active subscriptions and when they are due for renewal. Email notice of renewal comes at least two weeks before the end so I have plenty of time to make a decision. An important feature is setting a "Discount Lock" at first subscription or renewal, so Discountmags agrees to renew for me at the current price even if the publisher increases the price. There is no charge for this, and it does not commit me to renew. I get notified at renewal and can renew or not. On the website I can see all subscriptions for which I have set a Discount Lock and can cancel it at any time.

Ordered Technology Review Magazine 8/18/21 and paid $24.50 via credit card, Order #*******. When magazine not received in 3 months I emailed that the order zip code was incorrect and did not have apartment number. Jan 7,2022 email stated "I have submitted that changes as that was certainly the issue. It should be extended and begin arriving in the next 4-6 weeks." In response to my emails of 2/19/22 and 3/11/22 speedymags Support Team said in reply that the subscription would start soon. Latest inquiry in April received the following reply dated 4/7/22 " Hi Douglas,
Our clearing house is still looking into the delay. We will let you know as soon as we have a start date. Sorry for the long wait. Sincerely, The Support Team"
As of early April, I have still not received one copy and the company has my payment of $24.50 for over 6 months. Complaint with BBB is in process.

BE VERY, VERY CAREFUL IN BUYING FROM THIS SITE. There is a slight possibility it may save you money if you are buying $100 or more in food from a restaurant. But see the minimum purchase bait and switch described below. Chances are that whenever you see a minimum purchase less than $100 in the description of a restaurant, your certificate will be printed with a minimum purchase of $100. Then add 18% tip and that it may not apply to anything but food and you may need a good calculator to see if it is saving you money.

Frequently a restaurant is advertised on its website with one minimum purchase but after you buy the certificate the minimum purchase increases to $100. Example on 10/24/10 Japanese Blossom in Chico CA is advertised with a "Minimum purchase of $35" but the certificate you buy has "Minimum purchase $100"
