Britannica Kids Reviews

This is completely ridiculous. Folks come to this site to check out stuff, not to be hit with a ton of ads all the time. It's really disheartening.

This is absolutely absurd. People visit this platform to read, not to be constantly bombarded with an overwhelming number of advertisements. It's truly disappointing.

THIS DUMB SITE MAKES ZERO SENSE! I SPENT FOREVER FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AAHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHH

I recently had a rough time dealing with a company that really crossed the line with their business ethics. It's pretty disheartening to see such actions in today's market.

Right from the start, I could tell there was a serious lack of honesty and transparency. They made all sorts of grand claims and promises, only to let me down later. It was clear their main goal was just to rake in profits.

I decided to cancel my son's subscription to the Ency. Britannica after finding out that his credit card had been charged every year for the last two years without me knowing. He initially had a trial subscription for school, but we never got any renewal notice from them, which is what you'd expect from a decent company. Even after canceling early, I was bummed to learn that I wouldn't get a pro-rated refund. As an academic librarian who's been a loyal customer of Britannica for years, I think this kind of business practice is totally unacceptable. So, I've made up my mind to stop supporting any future purchases from Britannica for my library.

I tried to pay for a yearly subscription several times, but I kept running into a problem at the postcode step. The system kept saying the postcode was wrong, even though it was using the US code format for a UK address. I reached out to the UK support number for help, but got mixed-up answers on a couple of occasions. It's high time they got their act together and paid more attention.

After I posted this review, I quickly got my refund. Still, I gotta say, I'm really unhappy with the shady tactics this company uses, pushing customers into a renewable subscription without a clear heads-up. Even though I knew my subscription was about to run out, I had a tough time logging in to cancel it before it renewed automatically. This lack of clarity is pretty sketchy and feels almost criminal. Unlike honest businesses, they didn’t send out any renewal reminders, which just shows how money-hungry they are. Plus, it’s clear this isn’t the same trustworthy company it used to be; they’ve made the poor choice to cut out a bunch of programs meant for kids. My son relied on their Grade 6 programs for his schoolwork, and now they’re just gone a year later. This drop in quality and service really points to Britannica's likely decline. I wouldn’t count on them sticking around for much longer.

I've been digging into Herod the Great for a school project. But man, I ran into a real headache with the website. Even though I was just trying to read one article about Herod, every time I clicked on it, it counted as a brand new article. In the end, I couldn't even get to see the article at all. It's just not fair to ask me to fork over $75 for something that ought to be free.

I can't get into my account, so I can't cancel my monthly subscription. The customer service folks haven't replied at all. I'm gonna have to reach out to my bank to halt the payment. This whole thing seems pretty shady.

I am unable to access my account and am unable to cancel my monthly subscription. The customer service team has been unresponsive. I will need to contact my bank to stop the payment. This situation appears to be fraudulent.

I signed up for a year, and now I can't seem to cancel or get my money back. Luckily, I got some help from nationalrecovery010 at gmail, and they managed to assist me in securing my refund not too long ago.

I've canceled my subscription multiple times, but they keep taking payments despite me confirming the cancellation. The customer service is either super slow to reply or just doesn't get back to me at all.
