I found Speedy Mags when I wanted to get a subscription to a popular and expensive finance mag for my father and have been using them ever since. A very good discount and easy and efficient.

My mom bought me a subscription as a Christmas gift in Dec 2020. As of 7/21 it still has not arrived despite multiple attempts to contact them and even their feeble responses saying it will ship. This is a horrible site, please don't waste your money or time here. I feel even worse that it was my mother's money and not my own. Thanks for nothing!

Tip for consumers:
Skip it!

When I receive annual renewal notices for three publications I subscribe to, I spend some time online comparing prices offered by multiple services and wind up at SpeedyMags because their prices are the lowest. My renewals have always been processed timely, and this year I created an issue on one of my orders. The New/Renewal choice defaults to NEW and I forgot to change it to renewal. I noticed the mistake when I printed out my order and emailed SpeedyMags. They replied within two days that they had changed the order to Renewal with thanks for the order. I won't bother to price-check in future years. I'll stick with these folks!

Tip for consumers:
You can renew a personal and gift subscription in one order. An option to specify a different recipient for one or more pubs in the order is offered at checkout. I didn't realize this and created separate orders unnecessarily.

Speedy Mags is the BEST. They were able to get me a great discount on my magazines. A price you can't beat. I rarely have an issue but when I do, the customer service Dept. Takes care of it right away. I'm very satisfied!

I ordered the magazine Psychology Today from the site on September 20. It's December 9 and I still haven't gotten my first issue. I've complained multiple times with no help or reason. Awful customer service and they won't give me a refund.

I've been using SpeedyMags for over 5 years now. There bundle offerings are great, and they save me well over 50% off what I'd pay to the magazine directly/buying at the store. I love the reminders from them when a subscription is coming up. One time I got a reminder but then remembered I'd renewed for 2 years, so I emailed SpeedyMags. They responded in less than 10 minutes that they saw it was submitted as 1 year but that I'd clearly paid for 2 and would have it resolved ASAP and they did. Mistakes happen, it's how you resolve them and they were great. I've been in customer service my entire life and I appreciated the apology and quick resolution. These reviews about not getting subscriptions are not at all my experience. Do people realize it takes a few months even when you order directly from the carrier at times (especially magazines that only come out 6 times a year.)

I own a medspa and use Speedymags for all of my waiting room subscriptions. They are by far the best value for the money and very reliable. Excellent customer service which is rare these days. You can actually speak to a human. Highly recommend.

We have been working with SpeedyMags for our mag subscriptions for many years, which are weekly issues, and he has done a stellar job handling the account year after year. We started our search initially online like most of you considering where to go for reliability and good subscription rates. When there have been rare issues over the years with missing issues not mailed to us or lost in transit, Jake has always been responsive to get this resolved. His rates are also very competitive and clearly has a big selection. Would recommend SpeedyMags to anyone looking to sign on for magazine subscriptions and weary about who to trust on the internet to maintain a high bar of excellence for the product line and also to provide good customer support. Class operation. Kudos to Jake and SpeedyMags!

Speedy has carried a subscription for me a number of years. Customer service has always been on top of renewal notices and they give me the best price bar none. John at Speedy was especially helpful today when I renewed my item. Give that man a raise!
Speedy has an incredible selection of magazines at great prices. Many design-it-yourself for magazine packages. Try it out. The only trouble is that you will not be able to decide.

Tip for consumers:
If you need help just call customer service at *******420 where a real, live person will speak with you. Amazing!

I checked several options including the publisher and there was nothing for under $120 besides speedymags at $96.00. I seriously thought it wasnt a real offer and had to call in to make sure a real person would answer. Even then I was skeptical, but it came in 3 weeks flat so color me thrilled. This is where Im going for magazines from here on out. The website is kind of cheesy looking, so it threw me off, but its legit.

Tip for consumers:
Ask for John. Nice guy.

I have ordered my favorite magazine subscriptions from a variety of online companies and haven't always had a great experience. Jake at Speedy Mags had the best price and his customer service skills are outstanding. He personally answers his phone & consistently follows through. I am staying with Speedy Mags for the long haul!

My 85 year old mom has always enjoyed the Enquirer. This has been a a great Mother's Day gift for her for several years. She always tells me when it's about to run out. Prices are good and magazines are always on time. Thanks

This was really easy and an overall pleasant experience. John was very nice on the phone and guided me step by step through my order. Im not the most computer literate person. Even writing this review is hard for me but i felt compelled to due to the excellent service.

Tip for consumers:
Definitely ask for john if you call in. He was wonderful.

I called SpeedyMags and spoke to Jake, who assisted me in finding information regarding one of my orders for a magazine.
I cannot thank him enough for the help he so willingly and politely offered me.
He is absolutely a caring person who is very good at what he does.
I would consider my experience with Jake at SpeedyMags an A+.
Sincerely,
Anastasia M.

I've used SpeedyMags for 3 years and have not had any problems like other reviewers have indicated. My order was processed perfectly and they communicated with me via email to make sure I was satisfied with their service. I will continue using SpeedyMags to order my magazines and will refer them to others who I know who shop for the best prices for popular magazines. Keep up the good work, guys!

Got harpers bazaar sent to me abroad and it came really fast for a foreign order. I half didnt think it would even come but was very pleasantly surprised. They also had a live person who actually speaks AMERICAN english for phone support. Safe to say that was a first for me. Im sending all my friends here for mags.

On August 9,2023, I ordered the weekly magazine Woman's World through Speedy Mags because they had the best price available. There were initial problems with starting my subscription through the first clearinghouse that Speedy Mags was using. After I complained several times, Speedy Mags refunded my money and gave me a complementary subscription through a different clearinghouse to compensate for the delay. Nineteen weeks after my initial order I finally have my first issue!

Some prices excellent. Customer service tries really hard.
However, put in coupon on front end of website transaction--was not deducted. Turns out you have to put it in twice. Confusing.
Also, externally found coupons not always accepted. Web site goes along--but order never ACTUALLY filled. Refund prompt, however.
