Magshop provides a convenient and popular platform for purchasing and gifting print magazine subscriptions, backed by a customer service team that receives frequent praise for being polite and efficient. While the majority of users experience smooth transactions and reliable service, a subset of reviews highlights occasional website navigation issues and postal delivery delays. Overall, sentiment remains largely positive among long-term subscribers and gift buyers alike.
Really appreciated the understanding and quick service of Phillip today when a few subscriptions didn’t arrive. Thank you for the credits of these. Much appreciated.
Saul was very helpful in explaining what I could do about my unwanted auto subscription mag. I was given several options and am very pleased with the outcome. I look forward to a 12 month subscription of several mags.
The lady I spoke to was very helpful and I was able to find out that the subscription was due and pending for my mum. I think I would have preferred an email rather than finding the pending amount on my account. Can I ask for an email to be sent prior to billing so I’m not shocked by seeing an amount about to come out without warning?

Magshop manage our magazine subscriptions professionally and efficiently. We recently had to merge our accounts and they were very helpful.
I have ordered magazines from mag shop, off and on for years and have always been extremely happy with the service until recently. In the last few months their delivery service has been awful. Magazines have been left on the nature strip or thrown in the bushes in our yard, everywhere except the letter box, resulting that 4 from the last 6 being… Read more
stolen or wrecked. Complained to mag shop but nothing changed. I would definitely not buy from them again
Customer Feedback – Exceptional Service from Anna at MagShop Dear MagShop Team, I’m writing to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional customer service I received from Anna during a recent phone call regarding a 12-month subscription to Country Style, which I arranged as a gift for my partner. From the very beginning of our… Read more · 1
conversation, Anna displayed a unique and welcoming mindset that immediately put me at ease. Her warmth, clarity, and professionalism set the tone for a truly outstanding customer experience. It was clear she takes great pride in her role and genuinely cares about helping customers.
Anna was not only thorough and efficient but also incredibly courteous throughout. She guided me through the process with such grace and attention to detail that it felt more like a conversation than a transaction — a rare and refreshing quality in today’s fast-paced world.
It’s interactions like this that remind me how powerful great customer service can be. Please pass on my gratitude to Anna — she is a wonderful ambassador for MagShop, and I hope her efforts are recognised.
Kind regards, Michael John Williams Deviot, Tasmania

I called in relation to a discontinued card detail and while that was quickly taken care of, I was then offered a check to ensure I wasn't missing out on any rewards. At this time, I was offered a subscription for the next year at a discounted price which I accepted. the lady I spoke to was very knowledgeable and cleared both issues out within a few minutes. Very impressed.
Mariah was fantastic. Sorted out my issue re subscription (which was my error not Magshop). Great info was given and as a 10 year subscriber to Marie Claire with subscription for my 2 daughters I will continue Thx Mariah

I received my latest copy of Better Homes and Garden, it had a cover sheet where the address is, it also had Renew Your Subscription and receive a Bonus copy Best Of Baking, this request is right under my address so I thought my subscription was due to be paid. I got onto www.magshop.com.au to pay it but found the site very confusing and… Read more
complicated (everything IT is complicated to me) so I clicked the chat thing but it did nothing to help, asked for subscription number which I gave it but it didn't tell me anything about my subscription not needing renewal, so I rang 136116, it was answered promptly and it was a real person who told me my subscription wasn't due until March next year. I was happy and annoyed at the same time as I had spent half an hour on this when it wasn't necessary!
my query was about being direct debited without my permission and it should have been cancelled. I also was informed I was not eligible for the gift box, which I was very disappointed.
Years ago I must have ordered something. Couldn’t buy anything until I tried to set up an account and then you told me I already had one. Checkout bill was initially doubled

Great promotional discount and special gift. Easy renewal system. Checkout quick and easy. I also had to update some personal details on my profile today and this too was very simple to complete
I spoke to a lovely girl this morning about adding House and Garden to my account, which she did perfectly and quickly. Unfortunately I pressed the wrong button on my phone instead of being able to leave my message about how well "she" organised my request without a problem. Very quick and efficient. Thank you, Diana Walker.
It is always easy for me to speak with a human being, usually Mariah, at Magshop if I have any issues with delivery. Mariah is easy to understand and shw has always been very courteous and understanding. I am very happy with the customer service at Magshop.
I've bought a number of subscriptions as gifts for family members, and Magshop make it very easy, cost effective, and very flexible when I need to update anything to do with these.

I spoke with Customer Service Member Celine today regarding a change required to a 12 issue subscription for Women's Weekly. Her support and efficiency were outstanding and very much appreciated. The matter was resolved promptly and extremely professionally. Thank you to Celine.
Thank you for great service and help. Sorry I didn’t catch the name of the gentleman but he was very professional and ensured my renewal was correct for post and digital. I really appreciate it.
After speaking with Tee and with her knowledge everything was sorted out - it all comes back to the illustrious airlines and our wonderful postal system (ha ha) - one thing I have always found strange is that when you have new customers they all receive a gift - I cannot remember receiving any when I joined and then I became permanent and you… Read more · 1
receive nothing at all - I am not saying that gifts should go out to all and sundry but maybe when somebody has been a member for say 5-6 years a small gift would not go astray - what do you think of this idea - plus I just love your magazines and I hope I never have to go onto looking at them on the computer - what a waste of time - you cannot really take the computer to lie down with you instead of a book - now can you???? Many thanks and keep up the good work. love to all - evelyn
I had a problem with a renewal proposition which resulted in me getting two copies of a magazine. Noah underestood and sorted the issue very professionally and quickly.
After my local newsagent closed down I turned to the Magshop in order to continue to get the magazines that the newsagent previously put aside for me. It was so easy to subscribe via their website and I’m so happy with their customer service that I receive with my magazines delivered right to my doorstep each month it’s like a little gift for me.… Read more
Thank you Magshop for filling the gap that was left when my local store shut down and for helping me subscribe to all the magazines that I love.
An excellent selection of magazine to choose from as gifts for family members. Competitive prices and easy to set up a gift subscription following the prompts on their webpage. Highly recommend their selections and prices. Also great if you live outside Australia it's easy to set up.
I spoke with Louise today to sort out a subscription issue. She was very helpful and sorted it out quickly, even providing additional information so I could improve my outcome.
Last weeks Weekly Subscription was not received by mail. Spoke to Magshop and immediately a week was added to the Subscription. Cannot thank you enough for your ease of discussing my concern and your swift action.
