    In March, I received a gift card for a year long subscription to Page One books. The company promises customized book deliveries shipped to you in a box with monthly deliveries of the personally selected books. The confirmed purchase date was on 3/30/24. Approximately on month later in April (exact dates and screenshots of the exchanged emails below in pictures), I reached out to them inquiring about if and when a book would be sent. They responded briefly stating they would address and rectify this issue. There was no other follow up on their end, and late May I sent another follow up email. The response was another placation, stating they would let someone know but with no solution to the problem. I emailed back again requesting for a refund and stating I would be pursuing other solution options, but again with no response. Im just seeking a refund for the $355 at this point, I dont want this flaky book service. Additionally, I checked on ******** and other review sites which have detailed many similar situations with other customers. Please see below for all screenshots of customer service email interactions.

    I bought a couple of subscriptions for my sister 2 years ago and this service was fantastic. She liked getting the books -they came every single month on time -it was great. One time she didn't like a book and they immediately sent out a new book for her. Then in June I renewed her subscription for 6 months for her birthday. And she's not received a single book yet and is now December. I've been in contact with them I think 10 times through email and they keep promising me that they'll fix it. They have not . The subscription was I think like $179 and I am out six books and a fun experience for my sister.
