Warning: Linux+ magazine
Just a quick warning to others… There’s a Linux magazine out there called Linux+ and while not a bad magazine… I have had a heck of time with this company. On July 31st I ordered and paid for 2 years from a special offer for a Tux ‘droid promotion they were having. I got a ‘order confirmation’ email that specified it was “not a confirmation of payment” up at the top. So I waited a few days to get the follow up payment confirmation message. That never came. On Aug 17, I emailed telling them about it and got back an answer the following day. Anna Padzik said they did get the payment, apologized for the delay, and that the “We are sending you the missing issues of your subscription and Tux Droid at the moment.”
Sept 7, still no magazine nor Tux… so I email again… next day I get another apology and that “I ve just checked the informations in the data basis and the magazines have been sent exactely on 1.09.2009. You should get the order in maximum 1 week.” I respond back the same day asking about Tux… Only to be ignored.
Well it’s approaching a week since they emailed (and 2 since supposedly it was shipped – this last time), so I emailed again today… We’ll see what they do.
