The Mailbox Magazine Free Trial Review
I signed up for the free trial for one week it wasn't even 24 hours before they took the yearly payment out of my account. I'm stopping the subscription and requesting my money back. Contacted my bank 49 payment.

These Reviews Make No Sense
These reviews do not appear to be for The Mailbox, but rather for shady third parties who may be using its name. The Mailbox is a mostly digital subscription model that only costs $29.95/year or $2.99 month. It can also be bought via teacher stores. So whatever astronomical bills are being sent are coming from somewhere else. The company does not sell door to door and will cancel memberships through its fulfillment services long before any bills of this magnitude would be possible to be outstanding. Unfortunately, I think many on this board got scammed.

Poor customer service
Fell for the sales gimmick myself
I was taken surprised and bought subscriptions to "donate" to the YMCA in Boston. Then I was told that night about the company and that I got taken. I have been trying to cancel the order starting the next day. No idea if it will work. The sales lady was not at all clear about what the deal she was selling actually was. I just felt bad for her. She showed me names of neighbors that bought from her. They were all lies. I got taken for $540 dollars. I contacted the credit card company and we shall see if they honor my cancellation. I will keep you posted.

The Mailbox Magazine Review from Sandwich, Massachusetts
I was also taken in by mailbox media " sales pitch" and wrote a check however i reconsidered the same day and sent in by mail (the only option for cancellations) the required copies of paperwork. I also immediately put a stop payment on the check. I also further sent the company an email telling them of both the cancellation paperwork and the check stop. Hopefully this will be the end of it for me. Thank you all for the warnings about this company.o

Mailbox Media magazine sales rip-0ff in Danville, CA on 3/2/2015
On March 2, 2015, Dave Buckins came to my door selling magazine subscriptions for Magazine Media. He said he was earning points to help underprivileged people to be able to work towards a career. He was a very pleasant guy and talked a lot about having been on drugs and how he was turning his life around. The points would also help him in his endeavor. I gave him a $100 check (#562) for a subscription to US magazine. I still have the cancelled check and the sales receipt (#122173). The check was cashed a few weeks later with a stamp from the bank: Pay to the order of Comefica Bank Scottsdale, AZ. 85251-**** 12113**** For deposit only Mailbox Media LLC 189492**** Address for Mailbox Media as shown on sales receipt: 3820 W. Happy Valley Rd. #141-199 Glendale, AZ 85310 I also called them in May and they said it takes a few months to process the order. I was going to try to cancel today but don't recall where I got the phone number. Contact me if you have questions: Linda Ruese Lruese@***.com

Over $150.00 GONE because of Mailbox Media
My 90 year old aunt was at home when a man knocked on the door. He said that he wanted to earn 500 points for this magazine company, Mailbox Magazine, to help his family to have a better life, especially for his children. He took advantage of her and convinced her to help him earn his 500 points. She then gave him a check for over $150.00 for the subscription to the magazines. After I had read these reviews I was convinced the company is unreliable. I had to shut down her account, making sure she wont be charged again. She had to learn her lesson the hard way but you don't have to. Please be careful with this company, DON'T TRUST THEM!

Mailbox Magazine misleads consumers
a friend is having trouble with magazine subscriptions, she is going through chemo and asked me to help. She thought she was making a one time payment, is receiving mens mags, muscle mags, etc. she tried to cancel, and they threatened her with bad credit, etc., refused to cancel, and is charging her card $75 monthly. This company does send the magazines, and did offer to change magazines, but misleads customer about what exactly they are agreeing to - getting 4 magazines for $75 monthly, for 3 years is uncalled for! I called, they were threatening and rude. Thanks to previous hits on this website, I will be helping my friend to contact the BBB, Attorney General, etc. Do not order from these people!!

I'm pissed also
They keep sending me a bill for something that I've not recieved. I'm on a fixed income and have no idea what it is that are wanting me to pay for. I have no idea what it is thatthey are wanting money for. If they would explain their self Imight could let them know something. If you get a bill for 956.80 you would expect something to show for it. I'm not gonna send money for something that I have no idea what it is for, would you. thank you for letting me let off a steam.

I too got, got!
Please contact the Federal Trade Commission! That' the ONLY way to shut them down and send them to jail!!! I had the exact same experience that everyone here is describing. Get the FTC involved! You may NOT hear what you would like but with enough complaints the feds can quietly investigate and catch these crooks! This is a form of extortion! Also, after 3 months of receiving magazines that you'll never read you begin getting renewal notices! If any one has their business address please post it, along with the PO BOX that they use! Again, please contact the Federal Trade Commission!

Mailbox.com is not who people are posting about. Their issues, and mine, are with MailboxMedia.com.
A clever look-alike website name.
I can attest to what is being said here.
I was solicited, and bought their subscriptions with the intent the magazines would go to a charity like the Boys & Girls Club. But by reading these posts I was able to put a stop-payment on my check before they could cash it.
