I signed up for the $1 amount, I went to cancel my membership right away but for some reason the username and password wasn’t working. Then I went to email them to cancel my account and I got an automatic email saying that the email address did not exist. Which was the exact email they had on their website!!! I have tried multiple times to cancel, multiple times to contact them and nothing is working! I have been charged full price two months in a row now and have not wanted it! I cannot afford this during the pandemic. I need to unsubscribe but they won’t let me!!!

I wanted to cancel my subscription which I thought I had did a month ago, but on 5//2020 they took out $27.06, which I did not want. When I tried to cancel online at their website they wouldn’t let me cancel and said I was still subscribed. When I tried to email them at the email they provide on their website it said the email was incorrect and did not exist.

the advertisement that they offered two free children's books and the only thing that I had to pay was $1 for shipping. I didn't subscribe and didn't authorize the subscription. On 5//2020 I was charged $26.44 by them. When I try to log in, my login or password turn incorrect. And there is no way to get the correct password because I should enter the account #. But I don't have an account #. I cannot contact them - there is no phone or email address on their website. I don't want their book. I want to save my money, especially now when my family doesn't have the usual income because of the quarantine.

I have no recollection of joining the "I Can Read" book club they run. I never had any children and neither did my siblings. March , 2020, they took an automatic payment for $27.03. I did have some computer glitches, and I do not know if that has anything to do with it. I emailed them, but have received no reply. I cannot call them.

they final process my refund last week. thanks

Customer service is horrible and I was charged $199 in just 4 months (2-3 charges per month). Do not subscribe to the I Can Read! Book Club. It is certainly a scam. There are other book clubs that are cheaper and better. I just cancelled my subscription and I am really hoping to not see additional charges on my account.

Last month I subscribed to “I CAN READ BOOK CLUB” paid only $1 for the shipping and yes, I got my books. After my I got the books I immediately cancelled my subscription so that they wont bill me further for anything. But today, I was shocked that they charged me $26.78 for another set of books when I already cancelled my subscription a month ago, I tried logging in to my account and I cant log in saying my email isnt “recognized” so I had to email them and said why whould they charge me $26 and I cant even access my account?!? They gave me some temp password so I can access my account so there it is after I was able to open my account the subscription is still there when I made sure I cancelled it last month!! My shipping details still there but the payment details isnt. So how come they can still charge me when my payment details isnt there??!? Next thing I did, I called costumer service and was asking for a refund, she said that I only created my account today, what the *** is she talking about how can I be charged with $26 if I only signed up today?!?! You see this site is a scam!!! They get your details , they still charge you even if you already cancelled subscription! Now I want that refund back!!!

I signed up for the ICanread! Book club. I decided to cancel so I called up and asked to cancel my account. Two weeks later I receive a charge on my account for $32.49. I call up and they tell me that not only is my account not cancelled but they opened a second one for me. When I asked for a confirmation code they told me I would get one in an email. Feel like I’ve been scammed.

Poor customer service they hung up on me and are very rude

I purchased an audiobook through the Harper Collins website. I was never able to download or listen to the item I purchased. I made MULTIPLE calls to customer service so that the issue could be resolved but the only thing that they were able to do for me was send me the download instructions (which I already had) over and over again. Customer service was unable to help me so I ultimately (after hours on the phone with them) requested a refund. Their response to me was that they do not issue refunds, even though they acknowledged IN WRITING that the reason I was unable to download the item I paid them for was due to an issue on THEIR end. Further research into this revealed that I am only one of MANY, MANY people who have experienced this same issue and have had no resolution. At that point, I tried to obtain my refund by way of contacting *** but then I received an email from Harper Collins indicating that they cannot process my refund until I have cancelled the dispute with ***. Taking this as a sign of good faith, I cancelled the dispute. But here we are weeks later with no refund, no audiobook, and no resolution.

I ordered a sample set of books from their I can read! program as a trial to see if there were books my daughter would like or even read. I did not authorize any further purchases, but when I went back to make sure I wouldn't be receiving anything further since I wasn't satisfied I was unable to do so. As of this morning they have charged me for another set of books without any type of email confirmation or any notice. There was no notice of this or when I would charged (or even that I would be again). Ordering from them this way is a complete scam and I advise people against. If you still wish to purchase their books, do so in store. Otherwise don't bother. I would like my money refunded and they can have whatever items the attempt to send me back. I refuse to participate in a scam or have them abuse the fact that I made one purchase.

An order confirmation email was sent to *** on 02//19.

On 02//19, approximately two weeks later, in accordance with our offer, an approved authorization was obtained in the amount of $26.26 for the first subsequent shipment. The shipment was released from the warehouse and changed to the credit card on 2//19.

Upon reviewing the account information, we do not have any record of the customer notifying us with regards to their account. As of today on 03//19 a refund was processed totaling $26.26. All further shipments were canceled on the same day and no additional shipments will be sent.

I purchased an audiobook from harpercollins almost a week ago. Before purchasing, they give no notice on how you must access the audiobook (through their proprietary app). This would have been acceptable, however after making the purchase and downloading the app, I could not access my audiobook. After emailing customer service, I've been told that they do not issue refunds, which I find absurd. If I pay for a product and never receive that product, I am entitled to a refund, or else that is fraud.

I believe this company to essentially be defrauding customers. I fear I will never get my refund or my audiobook.

This has been the absolute worst experience I've ever had purchasing anything online.

I ordered and paid for three books to be sent to my son on November ***, 2018. I received emails from Harper Collins stating that they received my order and my payment via PayPal. A week went by without any shipping info, or any other communication at all. I emailed customer service and got no reply. After that, I disputed the order on the PayPal website, hoping to get Harper Collins attention. Nothing happened. Two days later, I canceled the dispute on PayPal. I sent another email asking for the books to be shipped. I got an email this morning saying that I would need to ORDER AND BUY THE BOOKS AGAIN if I wanted them to be shipped to my son. This is outright stealing! I have all of the emails to back up my complaint.

Harper Collins has an amazing initiative called the ICanReadBooks program. To promote this program, they have a promotion where you can get 2 books for $1 at the beginning of a subscription, firmly detailing that you can cancel at any time. That, however, is not true. Failing to cancel the subscription (after trying very hard) they will begin to charge you a whopping $26 a month without notice. Harper Collins makes it near IMPOSSIBLE to cancel the subscription, which apparently can only be done over the phone. You cannot attempt on their website, you cannot respond to any of their emails and they will not respond to any emails, and customer service will ignore your pleas for help on ***. Even their ONLY point of true customer service - via phone - is practically useless and entirely unhelpful. Stay away.
