National Geographic

I ordered this through amazon, received my first issue, then had the subscription promptly canceled. Called Nat Geo, got routed to India and received the typical call center "customer service." I offered to repurchase the subsciption from Nat Geo, they wanted to charge nearly $40, yet their own Web site displays $15. The customer service rep told me to order from the Web site then.
This kind of disconnect between a company's Web pressence and other incarnations is unexceptable in this day and age. Plus, they are stilling calling my house trying to sell me crap!
I never expected a historically beloved and classy magazine like National Geographic to have such shoddy and trashy customer service practices. They are obviously making a ton of loot, because they didn't seem to care about retaining my business at all.
Strange and a little sad when I can order Entertainment Weekly and receive more lucid service than from Nat Geo.

NG is appreciated by my wife. I like it, but she loves it and raves about the great photography.

The vendor refused to honor the $15 subscripton request.

I tried previosly when it was $10 with the same result.

Good Luck to you.

National Geographic continues to be an exceptional magazine--fun to look at and read as well as educational on many levels.

As others have stated, probably not a great idea to order Nat Geo through Amazon. I placed my order in June and received a cancellation e-mail from them today. If Amazon can't fill the subscriptions at this price, they shouldn't be offering it. Great magazine, just don't order it here.
