Title: Horrible Science Magazine
Post by fairydust on Feb 11th, 2005 at 11:51am
Hey there *waves*

I have subscribed to this publication for my son.  I had to call 0871 222 0802 to do so.

When I called, I was on hold for 10 mins before I was even allowed to choose where I wanted my call to be directed, I was on for another 20 mins before I got through to an operator.

I feel this company is a rip off, as I asked (when prompted if there was anything else they could help me with) for another magazine subscription (for a different publication that they cover) I was told to call the number all over again.

I need to call them back as my mags haven't arrived yet, but I've tried twice and had 2 further waits of 10 mins and I refuse to call them again.

Does anyone know of a 'local number' for this company please?  I can't afford to keep calling them.

(I'm in the process of writing them an email to show my annoyance)

This is my first posting on this board, so apologies if its too long winded and I've bored you all to death already!

Hi, You could try Eaglemoss Publications on 020 7590 8300 this is the publisher of this magazine. This was the name on their site. It may work, good luck.

I just called that number and the guy took my mobile number, and he's emailing the company to ask them to call me back on my mobile  ;D

I wonder if they're gonna call ?? !!

Thanks  ;D

Just out of interest.... who is the 'body' you complain to with regards to badly run helplines or premium rate numbers?

I would like to cc my complaint email to Horrible Science

I have an email giving the address of Horrible Science as DataBase Factory UK Ltd, typing this into bt business search I got (01425) 462800. As I am posting at the weekend I dont know how far you will get with this  number. I too had a query and was kept on the phone for 10 minutes before giving up. Their customer services are appalling as far as I am concerned, maybe a call to Watchdog wouldn't go amiss!!!!, I wonder.
