Magazines.com Return Policy
Every return window, fee, and holiday extension for Magazines.com — pulled from the retailer's own policy page and linked below so you can confirm it yourself.
The refund only covers issues that haven't shipped yet, so if you cancel a year-long subscription three months in, you get a prorated refund for the remaining unmailed issues, not the full amount you originally paid.

Why Magazines.com earned a A+
About Magazines.com
Buying a magazine subscription used to mean mailing in a card from inside another magazine - Magazines.com digitized that whole process, bundling thousands of titles from cooking to celebrity gossip into one storefront at publisher-authorized prices. It's been around since the late 1990s, which is ancient by internet-retail standards, and the selling point is really just convenience: one checkout for magazines you'd otherwise have to subscribe to individually. Gift-givers and people who want a physical magazine without hunting down each publisher's own site make up most of the customer base. The refund policy is refreshingly simple, if a little unusual: you can cancel at any time for any reason and get your money back for whatever issues haven't shipped yet.
What they sell
- Print magazine subscriptions across cooking, home, and lifestyle titles
