I have been a lifetime member for over 20 years, and stopped receiving my magazine after the fall 2014 issue without any warning or notice. Obviously they just went away. If you try calling you get a disconnected number. They are/were owned by Scout Media, which you can't contact either. I know for myself I will NEVER subscribe to anything owned by this company again. What a ripoff!

What Handyman Club

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
About 10 yrs ago after all kinds of mailings to join the lifetime membership. I didn’t hear from them anymore. I started getting bills for their magazine. I told them that I was a lifetime member. They fold me that they are not affiliated with the magazine. That was the last time I received anything from him.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I have been a lifetime member (#3049**** * # DY. I moved, notified the HCA, and started to receive my magazines. Now i have not gotten a magazine in over 2 years I called the member# 1-80*-243-**** and get a bad number recording. I would like to receive the magazines that the (paid in full) lifetime membership is supposed to produce.

I was a charter member for a while and upgraded to a Life Member several years ago. Since the last part of 2014 the club seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. What benefit is it to anyone now?

Another FORMER LIFE MEMBER without a magazine or anything in a way of promised benefits

Just like the rest of us I too was a lifetime member for over 15 years I have not received any magazines or the other stuff promised. I think its time for a class action lawsuit for these people. If they can ever be found again. I called the 952 prefix phone number and it too was no longer in service. Any lawyers interested in Class Action???

Life time membership

I'm just wondering why as soon as I paid for my lifetime membership everything stopped coming. Is that how you work taking money an disappearing. Where I'm from that's called stealing or scamming. Sure would like what I paid for. Thanks

Handyman Magazine mystery.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I did manage to find an entry in one of the last magazines that stated the magazine would be moving on-line. In fact it named 3 sources by which members could continue to view magazine articles, etc. The one form that I recall is by way of "PINTEREST". It was not a nice way to treat us as life members but there it is! We as former "Handy Club" members are supposed to be entitled to special considerations but they do not tell us what they are. I can tell you that they have many articles dedicated to all types of "woodworking" ideas and projects that you may enjoy. It was a sneaky way of cheating us out of a membership magazines and other privileges but I just wanted to let you folks know that I had found the entry in a magazine. The entry about moving on-line is in the "February/March 2014" issue of the HANDY magazine on page 2. Good luck fellow woodworkers.

I purchased a life time membership to the club years ago and for the past few years I am not getting any correspondence or the promised magazine. I just retired and have time to research what is happening.

Fooled again

I have the same complaints as the other gentlemen. I signed up for lifetime membership and shortly afterwards, the magazines stopped coming. What gives?
