Cosmopolitan Magazine
Reviews and Complaints

I used to enjoy the Cosmopolitan Snapchat. Then it took a turn for the worse. It went from a fun horoscopes to being anti-feminist/anti-equality. It is being hypocritical by claiming to be a feminist organization, and yet they continue to degrade men/males. I am all for equality and empowerment, but the Cosmopolitan Snapchat is crossing the line. It is no longer being hopeful and inspirational it is being rude and demeaning. There are numerous stories that degrade all men/males and basically call them animals while showing humiliating images. They are not showing both sides of a story, and are basically against all males. It is a shame Cosmopolitan allows such a thing to happen.

Have been receiving mag that did not order. It has my mailing address but addressee does not exist. I don't like this mag and do not want it arriving in my mailbox. Expiration date is MAY18. Account #COS1515811394/8#

Would like to know when this mag was ordered and how it was paid for.
If I discover it was paid for through identity theft, there will be a lawsuit brought against the thief.

So today (28th April)i was reading the snap chat discover page for cosmopolitan about what to know if your dating a girl with acne and i didn't think much of it when i saw it but then after school a friend of mine got upset because she has acne and took offense to the page. She had finally built up her self confidence but the page upset her and dropped her confidence. obviously i thing my friend looks fabulous whatever happens but she feels very self conscious so maybe next time you could be more careful what you post. Thank you.

When you write about acne and what you should know before you date people with acne can really put someone down such as myself. Experiencing acne isn't something that I and many other people appreciate. I feel self conscious when I'm out and when I'm at school, for me it feels like wherever I go everyone is looking at my skin. And then to have an article written on what you should do before you date someone with acne really doesn't help when your trying to bring your self consciousness up. Thank you

For some reason you are sending me a magazine I certainly don't want and never ordered. Why am I getting your magazine? Stop sending them! They take up a lot of space in my garbage bags. My husband asked did I subscribe to your disgusting magazine because he got the mail and was disturbed it was even delivered to our home. Alt-left material is not wanted or welcome in our home. Again, I never subscribed to your magazine and don't want it due to its highly offensive subject matter.

I was going throw the cosmo Snapchat story this morning(like I always do). But recently my love for cosmos fun and entertaining articles has rapidly gone away. The reason? This morning when flipping through the articles I came across one called "grow the #### up mr. president".. Can you even say that and be proud? This is not the first article cosmo has had bashing the president(there is one almost everyday) of our country and I'm about fed up with it. Cosmo has lost me as a faithful reader because of their careless and unattractive bashing. I don't care if you like Donald trump or if you like Hilary Clinton. One thing I will never support or understand it's the disrespect of the leader of our nation. It is childish and immature, especially knowing you're readers have all different views on our countries political stance. So in conclusion who really needs to "grow the #### up cosmopolitan?".

This is the second time i have submitted my request. If i do not receive a response and resolution this time i will be contacting the bbb and filing a harassment complaint.

I do not want to receive marketing emails or any emails from cosmopolitan.com or any of the subsidiaries!

The unsubscribe feature in the emails doesn't work. You click on it, go to the unsubscribe, click on remove from all hearst magazine marketing campaigns and nothing happens. I have tried to unsubscribe everyday for two weeks.

Remove blake.[protected]@gmail.com immediately! This is harassment! I feel as though i am being held hostage by this company.

My email address is blake.[protected]@gmail.com. I have been trying to unsubscribe from your emails for two weeks. Your unsubscribe option doesn't work. Please remove me from your emails! I don't want to receive them. I am about to file a complaint with the bbb.

Now i am more pissed because i tried to submit my complaint and i was told it was too short, it had to be over 350 characters. Your company is a scam!

I am a 25 yr old mother of a 3yr old. I have read the Cosmo and even purchased my fair share of them. I am aware of the world and society we live in now a days and its total lack of moral upbringings. I have look past and ignored the last few years of inappropriate covers titals and pictures but I drew the line today when in the check out line of food lion. Where I see the famous Madonna on the cover with the headline Sex sex sex! When do you stop and think for a moment of all the children much to young to understand or know about this stuff but olld enough to read that see this. And the horror their parents have face that their babies are being brought up in a society where its not even safe or comfortable for them to walk through a grocery stor without having this ignorance thrown in their face. Its as dirty as a playboy or pornapraphic magazine should they not be made to hide or disguise their magazine just as those are to be placed in public!?
Thank you.

Yesterday I decided to catch up with Cosmo on their snapchat story, and one of the articles I read was kind of appalling. It was about coffee, and how this person who wrote it loved it so much he/she considered it better than any other hot drink out there. It was a very bias article and had no real facts on anything about coffee. It was all personal opinion, which is not how an article like that should be written. It should of had the benefits of drinking coffee, not why so and so thinks its better than tea and is some what rude about it along the way of saying it.
I hope that the person who wrote this article gets a good talking to, or even taken off writing articles until he/she learns that you can't just bash what other people like because it's not what you like.

Thank you, and I hope you take all of what I said into consideration.

When I first subscribed to cosmopolitan I was excited because it is a refreshing magazine so i chose to spend for a 2 year subscription in between the time. I have had missed monthly subscriptions and cosmopolitan was kind enough to extend the subscription for any months I missed. My subscription expired in dec. 2012 They owed me until feb 2013. I received COUNTLESS HARASSING threatening invoices saying I owe THEM 15 dollars for my subscription. Automatically they take it UPON THEMSELVES TO PUT A CONTINUOUS SUBSCRIPTION FEATURE THEY I DID NOT ASK FOR. Its been 2 years and a lot has changed. Do to special circumstances I no longer can afford this magazine that I am forced to no pay for fear it can damage my credit. I was able to check a box to end the subscription policy but not after I pay this years subscription. I am very unhappy with the way I been treated and it has cause me to give huge caution in trusting in any MAGAZINE

This company had an online ordering deal of $5.00 for six months of magazines. I paid in full and recieved ONE issue and I started getting letters from them- I ignored them since I knew I had already paid IN FULL, so after the 3rd letter I figured I better open it to see why they were mailing me- maybe it was a billing glitch. To my Horror- it was a bill for $21.37 ! saying- "here is your renewal bill! First of all, I never ordered a renewal, second of all my subscription had just started- so, why on earth would there be a "renewal" even being thought about? I will never order from this company again- they have no phone # to even get in touch with customer service! only an e mail or street adress to send snail mail to. All this aggrevation isn't worth the supposed savings You get.

I was on the cosmopolitan website and subscribed (just 10 minutes ago!) and it said "36 issues for just $36 – SAVE 77% — Best Deal!". After I punched in all my credit card info and so on I got a receipt that said "We have accepted your subscription for Cosmopolitan and will charge your credit card $69 for 36 issues. Your first issue will be delivered to ------------------------------------------- in 4-6 weeks."
WTF?!?!
Also I did this deal along with it "Check this box to also receive 6 issues of Elle for just $5 more." and on the receipt it said "We have accepted your subscription for Elle and will charge your credit card $15 for 6 issues. Your first issue will be delivered to ---------------------------------------- in four to six weeks."

Also they have no phone number available on their website and when I try to login to "customer service" my login is continually denied.

I received a notice stating my account has been brought to their attention for collections and my subscription suspended for non payment. I DID NOT ever renew this subscription. They also claimed they sent me several notices, but funny, this was my first one. I finally found their telephone number on the internet, but was not able to talk to a human. So, I cancelled with an automated teller. I'm hoping this does the job.

I have not ordered Comopolitan for my office and I keep getting it delivered. I talked to someone a while back and they said they knew who to contact concerning this matter and that he would take care of it. He did, for about 2 months I did not receive any issues and now again here they are. How do I stop this junkie magazine from getting into my office?

I have subscribed to Cosmo for a couple of months now, but noticed that I did not receive my current month's magazine. I went online to check my account and noticed that someone had gone onto my account and changed the name and mailing address without my consent. I called a customer service number, and had my information changed back. I was told that I would not receive the magazine for the current month, but she would extend my subscription by one month to compensate. I think that is great. The problem I have is that anyone can log onto your account if you have this magazine subscription. All you need is either the account number or the name and address, both of which appear on the front of the magazine. Therefore, if someone steals your magazine, they can go online, log onto your account and change all your personal information to their own so that they will get the subscription that you paid for. That's what happened to me and I am furious that there is no possible way to prevent this. Cosmo's website does not even give the option to create a user ID and password to prevent this kind of theft.

I guess you get what you pay for with this company. I spent around $10 for a years worth of issues and they missed me three months in a row. I thought that price was great compared to the store price of almost $4 an issue. I should've wasted the money. When I contacted them they go on to tell me to contact my postal worker and fill out some form with USPS. My postal worker told me that if she had the magazines then she would've delivered them and basically they weren't at fault. I just love the blame game. You know, when a company blames your late or missing product on the postal service and vice versa. Not once was I given the 'detailed information' like they say that their CS reps do in the FAQ. I haven't been notified whether or not they will resend issues or extend my subscription. Their customer service has been less than satisfactory and I'm rather disappointed.
