I am also a life member of Handyman club of America. It is one of the only magazines I read cover to cover. I also tested tools and followed the advice of others in the club. I have not received the magazine for years now. I only have the past magazines that I received. I also have the leather coat with a handyman patch on it. They quit sending the magazine so I quit wearing the coat. It now hangs in the back of my closet. Reminding mr of the only club that I have ever waited to read the magazine n use to wear the coat proudly.

I knew the Handyman Club of America was too good to last! I had positive interactions with them prior to their disappearing act. What a lifetime membership patch worth these days, lol...

it has been at least 10 years that I have not received any magazine from them or heard from them in email or any other means from Handyman club of America.
What are my recourse available.

I am a life time of this handyman of America and have not received any magazine or any information about the club in years.
This is a total fraud.
What do I need to do to restart my subscription. I do not have my card or or member number anymore.
Please advise.

Member 30333883. Joined HCOA 08/2003. For awhile things went off okay. Then the magazines stopped. Then all communication stopped. Is there a class action lawsuit started for this company?

I too like many members haven`t had any contact nor do I receive any handyman magazines anymore. membership #30265279. please inform me of any class action lawsuits please thanks

I have been a member since the beginning and also Cooking and Gardening clubs as well, unfortunately I fell for the hype and the marketing and the belief that the lifetime memberships would continue. I have been unable to find out if there is any attempt to hold the Company accountable for misrepresentation or flat out lying. If any class action lawsuit comes about count me in.

Lifetime Membership
I Have Been A Lifetime Member, I Believe 20 Years And Have Not Received Any Trial Offers For Tools In Probably 8 Years And No Magazines In 7 Years. I Would Like, If There Is Any Information On A Class Action Suit.

Paid my $298 US for a lifetime membership. Got 3 magazines, and poof. Nothing else, ever. I come late to the party, but wanted to find out why I'm not getting them, after all these years. Guess I know now. I agree. They should not be able to take our money and run. But apparently, shouldn't be, and are, are two different things.

Member# 30317646 since 2003. I loved the club, did some product testing from 2003 - 2006. Ordered some tools I still have and love. I have every issue I ever received. Then I just stopped hearing and stopped receiving magazines. Everytime I moved I updated my new address. I feel kind of cheated having a lifetime membership only lasting a few years before i stopped hearing anything. I did receive an email about getting videos about using tools as part if the membership and was getting those for a while. Then I stopped getting those.

membership #04808322

I have been a life member sine 1994.Three years ago I stopped receiving magazines or any other kind of correspondence. I feel the same as those int correspondence from others in the same boat. I am charter member and member number is 148129. The last card I received shows my member number as 076723. I have not heard any thing from handyman in three years. What is going on. I can be reached via email or by phone at 970-330-7490.

I suppose it's pointless to even post here. As countless other complaints about the same issue have gone unresolved. But I'll gladly add my two cents worth if for no other reason than to add to the massive amount of complaints already filled and also add to the clubs already horrible reputation.

I too have been a LIFE MEMBER for many, many years. Cost me almost $400 and I received a fairly nice mechanics racket set. Not any where NEAR the value of the fee, but I figured the value would add up over time considering the bi-monthly magazines and the opportunity to Member Test all the great products they showcase in the mag.

Well, the magazines came pretty regular for years, then suddenly stopped altogether. No warning, no explanation, no apologies. The MEMBER TESTED items that were promised also were over-hyped and under-delivered. I applied for Member Testing with EVERY magazine that was mailed to me. And as a carpenter with over 30 years experience in the construction trade, I was qualified to test nearly every product they offered. And while I watched others in the mag reviewing cordless drills, plumbing fixtures, shop lights and the like, I received things as exciting as sheets of sandpaper, hand cream and super glue. Not a single cordless or corded power tool was ever sent to me for testing. Even the hand tools were very cheap quality and virtually useless for day to day use.

So thank you HCOA. For stealing our money, breaking your promise and disappointing thousands of loyal members who have supported you both publicly and financially for so many years. Spend our money in good health.

Same as the rest of the complaints have been a lifetime member for about 15 years and have nothing to show for it. No more magazines....nothing. Wish I had a crystal ball at the time I signed up as I would of wasted my money on something else.

I have been a lifetime member for years and haven't received any correspondence from the company since I bought the membership, they made it sound good and then the honeymoon is over and then nothing, thanks for taking my money and screwing me. Highly pissed!!!
