Periodical & Publications Connection, Inc. Same old story, new young face at the door. Don't send cancellation via overnight mail to P.O. Box! BUFORD Georgia
The last time this pimp of a company wh**ed out a young face to solicit funds to "help support school team uniforms" or some other such nonsense, I asked to see his student ID - he didn't have it, I didn't buy anything. Thanks, don't wish to make a "donation", have a nice day. Criminals.
I wasn't home this time to prevent my wife from getting hooked by this sucker play. This time it was "do you know your neighbors so-and-so from down the street? No? well they helped us out and it would be great if you did too...."
The next day I came across the receipts - 2 years worth of 2 magazines at $74 per title - $148. To hell with that.
I stopped payment on the check that day and attempted to send a cancellation via Fedex for delivery prior to the "third business day" deadline for cancelling orders over $25 (as indicated on their receipts). Turns out although Fedex will let you enter a PO Box on the waybill information, their policy is not to deliver to P.O. Boxes (admittedly, that's a Fedex problem, not a problem with this rat hole company). Somehow Fedex was able to determine a physical address, probably because they have processed numerous cancellation notice delivery to these scheisters. Unfortunately I was hit with an additional $10 "address correction" fee. (Thanks. Really.)
If you feel the need to send a priority or express mail to this place, you need to use the physical address as shown here:
303 W. SHADBURN AVE
BUFORD, GA 30518
There are many roaches occupying the motel at this address, you may recognize some of these criminal aliases:
Xtreme Marketing Inc
Direct Circulation
United Family Circulation
Do a search on the address or any of these company names and you'll find more and more duped citizens.
Please do not, do not, DO NOT accept any solicitations at your door, unless it's your neighbor's kid selling wrapping paper or girl scout cookies. It's YOUR home - YOUR sanctuary - YOUR refuge from the commercialism of society. There's a reason these hucksters, grifters, con men/women keep doing this - people keep falling for it. Protect your home - send them away, and tell everyone you know to do the same.

Looks like they at least honored the cancellation request, even though they didn't make it easy for someone to send it to them. I received my unprocessed check in the mail this past Saturday.

The last time a sales "contractor" for this company came to my door to solicit funds to "help support school team uniforms" or some other such story, I asked to see his student ID - he didn't have it, I didn't buy anything. Thanks, don't wish to make a "donation", have a nice day.
I wasn't home this time to prevent my wife from getting hooked by this sucker play. This time it was "do you know your neighbors so-and-so from down the street? No? well they helped us out and it would be great if you did too...." The next day I came across the receipts - 2 years worth of 2 magazines at $74 per title - $148. I did not think that was reasonable, especially in light of the fraudulent sales pitch. I stopped payment on the check that day and attempted to send a cancellation via Fedex for delivery prior to the "third business day" deadline for cancelling orders over $25 (as indicated on their receipts).
