I ordered cigars from ********************, then I immediately received a subscription for ***************** which I cancelled. This was very annoying, but I moved on. A month or so later I received a *********** in the mail. I was very upset. It has a woman dressed very immodestly on the front cover. Not only was my mail carrier subjected to this immodesty, but my wife and children were as well. This is ridiculous, I will never order from ******************** again.Business Response

I have received two Southern Living magazines one on 09/21/2024and today 09/23/24 that I have never subscribed to. The first name is correct however the last name is incorrect, the first magazine received has the correct address the one does not but it was placed in the mailbox. I am requesting that you cease mailing any and all communications, remove my address from your mailing list. The telephone number on the mailing label is ************** which is linked to a scam after investigating it is not the Southern Living customer service number. Again cease all communications.Business Response

I received the October issue of ******************* magazine. I did NOT request this magazine and I DO NOT want it. I contacted ******************* customer service to investigate and cancel any future deliveries. ******************* customer service said they could suspend delivery but because their records show that the subscription was made for me by a company called Subco, I would need to contact Subco directly to cancel. They also said that their records showed that Subco has also subscribed me to **** magazine. I have not received **** magazine yet. Regardless I have never heard of Subco. I do NOT want subscriptions to either of these magazines (or any other magazine). I want these subscriptions stopped. Can you help?Thank youBusiness Response
