“Very poor customer service”

Written on: 07/09/2011

The magazine content is great. However I’ve had problems with the customer service support since the start. I signed up under an offer where a free gift (a handbag) was to be sent to me within 6-8 weeks. When no handbag turned up I emailed the Singapore support team (its an Asian subscription) on August 30th but did not receive a response till I sent a follow up email.

“The Economist is a prestigious weekly news magazine....”

Written on: 06/03/2004 by Robertx (2 reviews written)

The Economist is a prestigious weekly news magazine. The editorials are highly stimulating and most of the sections offer a view of
-European
