Communication is via email. There is no customer service you can talk to. Requested refund as I don't want auto subscription and it is impossible to unsubscribe.

Trying to get refund for a two ear subscription. Unhappy with auto renewal that is difficult to turn off.

The gift subscription I sent back in August has NOT come to my kids

Nothing has been sent and I can't seem to get a hold of anybody. Lots of numbers they want me to call.

Easy to take your payment but there is NO customer service available

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I paid for a year's subscription (print) in April 2025. I got two issues; the second issue I just received on July 14, 2025.

On the cover, Sunset Magazine printed a message saying I need to renew before my subscription expires! My subscription just began, so I do not agree with this erroneous message. I tried contacting their customer service, but there is no phone number shown on their website; only an email. I sent an email message yesterday, and no one has bothered to reply yet.

I had to search Google to find a phone number, thinking I could speak to an agent. There's only a recording telling customers to send an email message to the same email address I sent my email to.

This company is bogus. And like others here, there is zero customer service.

Love the magazine hate what there is of customer service

You call your customer service number, it is anything BUT. Could not reach a live person, it kept advising to go on line, I wanted to follow up on my billing because you always bill way too early before the expiration date and I hate that...I almost decided not to subscribe for the lack of service but I do like what is offered in the magazine. Your customer service 'Hides" behind automated responses.

Total scam. Impossible to contact and cashed my check but never delivered any issues of the magazine.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

sunset magazine cashed my check in January 2024. Six months later and I have never received an issue.

If you call the consumer service telephone number you will not get an answer or talk to a person. You will receive a message that tells you to leave a voicemail. I have left dozens of voicemails - no response.

I have emailed dozens of times -- no response. The are a fraudulent company and a total scam.

No delivery after subscription

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

We subscribed Sunset in Germany and never received a single issue. We were constantly put off with flimsy arguments by customer service.

Again and again other things were put forward as to why we were not contacted.

I strongly advise against subscribing. Real rip-off artists!
