      I ordered a weekend subscription to the Journal Gazette for a Christmas present for six months ($123.50). I was told it would start the Friday before Christmas. Three weeks later and no paper. I called and requested a refund only to be told it was non refundable. The lady I talked to did not inform me when I ordered over the phone and I cannot find that clause online.

      BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

      BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

      When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

      BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.
