I want to complain about the package I received from Publishers Clearing House - # [protected] - I did not order this. I do not want this and I do not want to pay postage to send this back. I will never order from Publishers Clearing House again if I am going to be sent packages that I did not order.

I've already paid$30.61 on the rings I ordered. Now it says $30.81 pending on my card. I ordered only once. You shouldn't be charging me twice. Please fix the problem. I don't like to be charged again.

Hello, I am sorry to complain about PCH, however, they have a lot of false advertisements. I have been with them since 1999 and still have not received a discount or half off as promised. Also there scratch off prizes are also false advertisement, I have won many of them and have seen nothing. Thank you for Listening Mrs. Darlene Anderson

Dave Sayer, Danielle Lam, and other PCH personal. Asking for a fee before receiving the prize. Told won a New car and $5000 aweek for life. But have to pay fee or go to Walmart and get with Western Union and send the 10 digits to them before receiving the prize. Will any of this is true or false.

When I received my shipment only one of the three plants was still alive. The other two looked like they had frozen during shipping.

I had received a package about a month ago after receiving an email about my "order". I never ordered anything nor set up an account with them to do so. I didn't order the item so never opened it. I began receiving invoices for the item and finally called the tel:+[protected] today. I spoke with a rep (non north-american accent) who said she has now canceled the order and that I can keep the package as my free gift. She said I would be able to go to my online account to verify the order cancelled over the next couple of days. I informed her that I had no account to log into and would not register for one now. (basically to maintain their burden of proof). She said that she would mail (snail mail) me confirmation of the cancellation which I will eagerly keep an eye for. This BETTER be the end of it...but w/ crap like this I would not be surprised if it isn't.

I signed up for USPS informed delivery service. Similar problem. PCH told me the same thing. Knew the package was coming through USPS and regardless what PCH said, I refused the package at the door.

I have been playing PCH for a long time and I did win $5 on the Instant Win, but I know it's rigged for you not to win big money. I like to play just for fun and I don't expect to win big because I believe it's impossible.

Here I go again, I just wrote you about being unhappy with my recent shipment, then I did a stupid thing and ordered something I hadnt seen for awhile, boy do I regret it and want to cancel it, however in the mean time I just received a package from you and whatever it is I DONT WANT IT. It is being sent back as "REFUSED"! Due to all of this I hear by request that my name be taken off your list. Never again.

Goodbye,
Laurie

Three times they have tried to say I placed an order but I did not. I clearly check that my shopping cart is empty every time. I have called and canceled the order each time. This outfit is a scam.

My customer ID # is [protected]. In February of 2018 I placed an order (order # [protected]) for item # 2301HJ for some plants. I paid the invoice of $24.21 on March 3, 2018. I never did receive my order and don't need it now. I would like a full refund. I don't have the capability to send you a photo of the invoice.

Pch sells junk, all cheap Chinese products. On top of that PCH is a scam I've been trying to win for years. All they want you to do is buy junk and play the stupid games. Such a waste of time
