There needs to be a way to indicate that the subscriber did NOT receive an issue. It is easy to subscribe via this website but once you are a subscriber, the web site is very poor!!!

I started receiving Sports Illustrated magazine for some unknown reason. When I tried to cancel it, I went through your website, I called your 800 and finally I was given another number which I can only call during the day when I am at work. This could not be more frustrating. It should not be so difficult to cancel a subscription that I never asked for. Please cancel my subscription immediately. Annie Hendricks

Mr Anup Swamy
I've been a loyal SI subscriber for 35 years, and have purchased gift subscriptions for my four sons-in-law, as well. I have received multiple e-mails and postal "reminders" that my subscription is about to expire and touting special offers to renew.

Thanks but no thanks. I've had it with your gradual (but accelerating) movement to be more of a social/political commentary rag than a straightforward carrier of all things sport. The cover featuring Bruce "I Wanna Be Noticed" Jenner was the turning point. If I want social commentary, especially "Progressive" commentary, I'll just read my daily copy of the Washington Post or turn on CNN/MSNBC/etc. I don't need to have a supposed "sports" magazine try to feed me this stuff.
So goodbye my beloved SI.....may the Millenials adore you.

I think it is indespicable that you are going to honor BRUCE Jenner with a cover of SI . and even worse that HE will be wearing an American flag. I will never spend another dime on your magazine . Take me off of your mailing list

I placed an order for SI in Mid Nov ( 9 weeks ago) with free NFL sweatshirt promo. Have not received the promo. When I called customer service i was hung up on after recording that all customer service personnel are in training.
This is incredibly poor service and I am very frustrated with this.

Your customer service stinks. All I want to do is submit a change of address, and nothing on this site shows me where/how to do that. I called the customer service phone number and was advised that it's not working, and I need to try my call later.

I order the SI Collection- Full Set of 25 issues of the soccer team back on July 20-2015- Called around the 2nd week in Sept to see why I have not received them. The guy told me that they were just now being sent out. I waited a couple more weeks and now found out that you are out of them. They were for my granddaughters birthday and now she will not be getting them. Thanks to you being so concern about keeping your word on ordering. No one bother to notify me that they were out or that I would not be getting them until today!!! September 29,2015 and all your people can say is I'm sorry!! So how long were you going to keep my money or when did you think about telling me. Why did you take the order in July and take so long to send it out?? You had the books then or did you?? You should have never taken the order if you could not filled it and how did you determine which order you filled and which order you didn't? You have very poor service- I would not order your regular issues you may run out of them!!
I'm just very disappointed in you and your magazine . Believe me I will be telling everybody about this , not to order anything from you because you will take the money and keep it when you question them then they will tell you they are out and will refund your money. LIKE THEY ARE DOING YOU A FAVOR!!! Yes I'm very upset you have just messed up my granddaughters birthday-Thank you for that!!

Literally the worst customers service I have ever experienced. They have a scripted automatic email that they send to customers who have a complaint about their online order. After almost 2 months of waiting for them to mail an issue to me (and them having charged my credit card for it), I still do not have it. And all they can respond in a email is "It will be shipped shortly We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. Your patience is appreciated." I have separate 3 emails that say the EXACT SAME thing. Pitiful. Worst customer service ever. Won't ever buy anything else from them again.

Your customer service department "sucks"'!!! The people have no clue when you ask to speak to a supervisor! After 35 years you would think I would get some leeway , for being late with a payment!! No wonder print media is dying!!!

For the love of all that is holy SI, QUIT SENDING ME INVOICES! I'm paid up for 4 freaking years!
If these invoices do not cease I will cancel my subscription and never again read your magazine.

I have been receiving Sports Illustrated for a good many years but lately my issues have been arriving quite late. The last issue I received by mail is dated August 10th. Is there a reason for this or is Canada Post to blame? My name is Brenda Costello and my address is Highway 8, Stoney Creek, ON.

the person I talked to had NO KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR MAGAZINE. SHE SAID SHE ONLY DID SUBSCRIPTIONS. Really! I am looking for the Special Edition of the 2015 Football SI, is it out on the market yet? How hard is that? Please respond.

I have not received an issue in three weeks. I have e-mailed and called with no results. I didn't receive an issue about three months ago and after way to much aggravation I received an issue six weeks later. Unfortunately, it was a copy of an issue I HAD received and not the one I was looking for. I have been a loyal subscriber for 29 years and I am about ready to cancel my subscription, unless you people get your act together.

Received a letter from Si July 3/15 indicating third renewal notice ie not renewed. I have a deposited cheque (dated June 30/15 for a 2 yr renewal) to my account on June 25/15. I would contend I have already handled this renewal. Please advise your concurrence/confirmation of same. Thanks...

sports illustrated customer service is horrible. I have been trying for 5 months to get a missing issue with no result. I have called the 800 number, emailed x2, mailed a letter - all got nice little postcards (4 now) that say my request is being taken care of............ I guess loyally paying an outrageous amount for yearly subscriptions for 10+ years does not mean much to this company. I am done. I can read my sports news online from now on.

Be advised...I have been a long time subscriber.

I recently sent letters to Ann Marie Doherty on March 5, and again on May 5.

I have had no response and have been ignored.

I just cancelled my subscription on line due to this non response from SI Customer Service.

My free gift arrived and there are 2 problems

1) I selected a "fully lined" polyester jacket. The one sent is unlined.

2) I selected a size Large. The one sent is Extra Large

Sports Illustrated/Kids: I have a renewal statement for Diego Diaz, Santa Rosa, and it states the Subscription began 12/01/14. Isn't that a little over 4 months ago?. I need to speak to Customer Service. Thanks. Cheryl Young,

I ordered the Sports Illustrated Package in April, and had it sent to my sons address , Guy Bushfan,

23 Cummings Ave, Revere, Ma, 02151, Phone . Recent conversation revealed he received the Sports Jacket & Magazine, but to date has not received the PatriotsFootball & Stand. Maybe I misunderstood that it was a special package to be delivered all together. Please inform why the delay in getting the whole package.
