Consumer Complaints about PCH

elaine of flint, MI July 2, 2009

I ordered a money machine in april from them and never received it or a bill, and they e-mailed me and said i was deliquent on my payment and were sending me a second bill. I use to live in cadillac, michigan and i keep changing my address on their e-mails to my present address,so i dont know if they screwed up and sent it to cadillac instead of my present address. i dont want it now as i ordered it to give to my daughter for her birthday june 22. its too late now!!!

Misty of Superior, WI June 26, 2009

I started falling for their mailings back in 2005. I ordered a laptop from them that turned out to be of no worth. I spent almost 300 dollars (one time payment) for a laptop that on ebay wouldn't sell for 90 dollars. I fell for their joke. Someone with YOUR initials is going to win big! Hmmmm. I have won nothing, and invested in worthless crap. Nice incentive PCH. Keep giving people false hope that someday their name will be drawn and you are going to show up on their front step with flowers and nice big fat check!

Vickie of Eugene, OR June 21, 2009

I ordered 3 times the items were of poor quality, I made the 1st payment in full they mailed it back saying I was due a refund(Wierd)sent them a money order. 2nd order I split in 2 payments sent back in March it was returend as a refund, sent the other portion both of them were returned as refunds and in a few days I recieved a letter saying it would go to collections so I got a cashiers check mailed 43.37 on 5/22 and today 6/20 recieved another letter saying payment is late and they are adding 2.50 late charge. I have not been able to reach anyone to heop me and are threting to send it to collections.

Paula of Hesperia, CA June 17, 2009

I ordered 2 items from PCH. It was supposed to cost 4.99 each. That would equal 9.98 in any other world, but somehow in the magical land of PCH it equals 40.00. Now I'm getting threats that it will go on my credit and I know it will. In the stores these items would cost about 15.00. It makes no sense that I would ever pay 40 for them. I play their stupid sweepstakes every day but I never get anything. Who wins this stuff? Does anybody ever win anything?

Lois of Camarillo, CA June 17, 2009

I got a bill from you for a package I had paid for. You took that check and applied it to one you said I didn't pay for. In 7 to 10 days I will have a copy of the check you didn't get, front and back and will send it to you. Therefor you will have to wait for the copy to arrive. Should this not be the check in question for that product then I'll check again with the bank. When all else fails I'll send another check and that will be the end of our business.

Parruis of Corona, CA June 14, 2009

I started ordering from PCH, because I could get things on a payment basis. And from knowing that shiping & handling cost from past mail ordering,I would order know more then 2 item at a time, but with each and every order I placed with PCH, over the last year they shiped each thing claiming (that do to high voluem of orders for the item), other product would be sent when back in stock.So the S&H charge of at least 7.00 on all my orders even though I ordered things together, they still charged me for there out of stock problems, S&H for the back orders.

At first I thought nothing of this,until after about the 4th order, Never did I recieve any items ordered at same time together, every item I recieved seperatly and every time I paid another S&H, charge as they send my order one bye one to me. The last time I called and was told sorry, but yes they can and do make the customer pay these outragouse fees of 7.00 S&H even if it is there out of stock falt not our the customer. So, all my orders after that was sent back w/me paying to send them back. But never again will I order from PCH, and I have will tell everyone the way they work and ripe off people in a under handway. And the deal you think your getting through them is know deal once you've paid the S&H charges per item!!!!!!!!!

gerald of hamilton, ON June 8, 2009

It appears an awful lot of people complain re;items received that were not ordered.include my wife and myself in this group.It sems the complainants did not receive a threatening bill from PCH.We did.We were told that a collection agency would be contacted ifwe did not pay for the item we never ordered.They also tacked on a late payment charge.This was all on an account that i had never asked for.

The item in question was sent back by me and it cost four dollars to do so.When my oldest daughter called the company the girl checked and found they had gotten the item back and had cleared our so called account,but because of cross mailing between depts we received this threatening notice.It smacks of a scam in my opinion.

Maryann of Mesa, AZ June 5, 2009

I was sent a package that i did not order. i am not working and am on a fixed income. i had to return the item and it costed me 7.33 to have it sent back. I can't afford to do this. i would like my 7.33 sent back. this was not mistake.. it was Publisher's Clearing House' mistake.

Renee of Enumclaw, WA June 4, 2009
