My husband joined the Handyman Club. He became a 'lifetime member'. They promised tools, trials, contests...all sorts of things. What we didn't realize is that we'd pay dues to them for a year and receive nothing!...Oh wait, he got a belt buckle or something ridiculous.
Then recently, they posted a contest for do-it-yourselfers called "Cabin Fever Cures." My husband built me a beautiful mahogany table and chairs for the kitchen, which he entered. They claimed that he was in the top 20 out of over 1500 entries! We were so excited! While the prize wasn't large, it would have been a wonderful boost in confidence. Well, he lead for the first day. All of a suddent, a guy with a shop vac stand came from behind. It was neck and neck for a day or so. Then one morning, we woke up and he got about 170 votes in a one hour period! Then we started finding out that the friends that had been voting for him, no longer could! Not only that, one of my friends said it would let her vote for the shop vac guy but not my husband!
This contest was a scam. In my opinion, it was a way for them to get people to view their website. They had no intention of paying out on this prize! We believe this because we complained about how it was being handled and all we got in return was, "Thank you for being a member. We're sorry you're disappointed." They couldn't have cared less. Not once did they try to fix this.
Please don't waste your money on these monthly dues! Please!! They are not an honest company!
I have a Life Time Membership and have not received my life time subscription magazine for a number of years. I contacted Handyman Club of America numerous times over the last 1 to 1 1/2 and was told that my account is still active. My response is always the same, then why am I not getting my magazine. I am always told that I will receive the next issue. Now they only except emails no phone calls, lost that personal touch have we.
I also have not heard a thing from the Club in a long time. Why did I pay for a Life Time membership? I have news for you Handyman Club of America, I am going to plaster your lying thieving ways everywhere I can until you refund my membership fees or until you are out of business. If any lawyer is willing to help me collect damages for membership fees, an incomplete set of books and whatever else.
I received a bill for a 2015 Street Machine Calendar Pkg. which I never received nor wanted. In attempting to reslove the problem I discovered that their customer service phone number gives you a recording to go on the web to contact.handymanclub.com. No such web site. I have sent them the information by the US mail but only receive an another bill in response.
I get products in the mail that I do not order then they try to Bill me an outrageous amount for that ridiculous peace that they have sent to me this time it was a tree saw. I need to pay my own postage to send it back which is over $7. also they do not have a number that I can call and complain.
