Interesting as I've never had a problem with them. But, I'm only one case and you've listed many who have had problems. Definitely something to keep in mind. </p>marketfollySun, 03 May 2009 18:12:54 -0000http://www.marketfolly.com/2009/05/discounts-on-financial-publications.html#comment-8952879<p>You may want to go ease on the Amazon subscription links, unless you want a lot of angry readers.</p><p>Here's a small sampling from the Amazon review pages for magazine subscriptions via Amazon:</p><p>--</p><p>* star<br>"This is the best paper I have ever read. But I used Amazon to re-subscribe and the Synapse Services are NOT FUNCTIONAL. "</p><p>* star<br>"Amazon + Synapse combo is bad. STAY AWAY!!! "</p><p>* star<br>"Great paper but Synapse Services, the subscription fulfillment company, is either incompetent or running a scam. "</p><p>* star<br>"THEY ARE HORRIBLE, THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY AND DO NOT RESPOND TO E-MAILS FOR SERVICE, DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME THEY ARE HORRIBLE"</p><p>* star<br>"Although the actual newspaper is an excellent resource, the service through Amazon leaves alot to be desired."</p><p>* star<br>"I used to make the subscriptions directly with FT, which by the way is a wonderful newspaper, top notch. But this yr I decided to do it through Amazon, just because it was more convenient since I was buying some other stuff here anyway - and the price was good. No wonder the price was good, it has been more than two months and no newspaper has arrived yet ! Stay away !"</p><p>* star<br>"I purchased a 1 year subscription through Amazon and after 4 weeks it simply stopped arriving. Amazon itself will do nothing except tell me to call their company, Synapse Services."</p><p>---</p><p>Looks like a certified scam to me. Amazon or no Amazon.</p><p></p>vasraSun, 03 May 2009 10:56:11 -0000
