False Advertisement- CAUTION
This is the first review I have ever written on any website. I purchased 10 issues and when I received the second magazine there was a letter that stated "We are pleased to present you with this very special, bigger-than-ever November issue....This edition is so big, in fact, that we are treating it as a special issue that will count toward two of your subscriber issues, so the duration of your subscription will be adjusted accordingly....It's loyal customers like you who make our magazine so successful."
This issues is SOOOOOO BIG that it is 20 whole pages longer than the previous one, 108 vs. 128. WOW!!
I wonder how many magazines I will actually receive now because of other reviews I have read and the fact that they could try and do this again and again.
This is unacceptable to myself, and if they expect to have "loyal" customers then they need maintain proper/high business practices, values, standards, and ethics. I am about to email them, customercare@thefamilyhandyman.com.
