Has anyone received good service from Cricket Media in the last 18 months or so? Please let me know!! Although I have received NO MAGAZINE ISSUES, they want me to DOUBLE MY ORDER NOW and save 55% by sending them yet more money.
I placed an order in late November 2021 for 3 different magazines being delivered to 1 address which were never delivered. I used their website (as suggested in the many USPS mail deliveries and various emails asking me to extend these subscriptions) shortly after the end of January 2022, as no magazines had been received, and there was no response. I phoned on March 3, 2022 and spoke with a very difficult to understand representative named Mariel (she would not spell her name for me, so if it is incorrect, I do apologize). She explained, no, she stated I WANT TO INFORM YOU THAT . . . . blah blah blah that the correct magazines would be delivered within 4 to 6 weeks from 3/3/2022 and here we are on April 21, 2022 (7+ weeks ago) and so now Nina, a supervisor has cancelled ONE of the magazines. I asked her to cancel all 3, but she cancelled just ONE. Now she INFORMS ME (I think it is still Mariel pretending to be Mena, I mean Nina --- do they think I am crazy?) that one will be credited to my original card but the other two refunds will be completed by check. Putting it on my calendar as told my Mena/Nina and then I asked her to send me email confirmation. She stated that she could do that and it would take 24 to 48 hours to get that email to me. While she is doing this, I have typed the post on the Cricket Media page and will post it on other social media sites, just to see what comments I receive. Oh my . . . so very sad . . . All I wanted was a magazine subscription for each of my Grandboys!
Hi Cricket fans, particularly Muse readers who might recognise my comic, Parallel U. Cricket make great magazines, we can all agree, but behind the scenes they are frustratingly difficult to deal with. I had to give up Parallel U because of their lack of payments and communication and I'm still waiting to be paid for my last two comics. A comic that was fun to do but I had to stop because Cricket Media never paid on time and couldn't/wouldn't ever give a straight answer about when or why, if they ever replied at all.
I'm not here to diminish enjoyment of the magazines, they're created by immensely dedicated and talented people, I'm here because there is no discourse behind the scenes and have no where else to go. I would love it if readers could let Cricket know that art is appreciated in the magazines and would probably be quite boring without it, because to them we are at the bottom of the ladder.
Maybe you can help us be heard.

Be careful ordering from this company! I ordered 2 Babybug subscriptions at christmas time and neither family received their magazines. Now Cricket Media says they can't find any record of me ordering, yet I have two (2) credit card charges on my bill!!
I have to jump through hoops now to a credit for this! They won't give me a credit because they have "no record of the orders".
Never using this company again!😤
