 magazine ok but unhappy with Amazon September 7, 2010

I purchased this magazine subscription through Amazon because Amazon sent me a $5 off coupon code on my next order. I placed the order and used my coupon. A week after Amazon emailed me and said that the coupon was not valid and would not be taken off my order.
 Be careful with your subscription. Customer Service number is 1-800-888-2665. September 2, 2010

If I could give zero stars for Hearst Magazines' audacity in ripping off subscribers I would. But that's not exactly fair to the editorial staff who put together a good magazine, so I'll default to giving two stars: 3.5 stars for the magazine content, 0.5 for the company's policies and customer service.
The long story: I ordered two magazines via Amazon from HM Aug. 4 with the understanding the first issues, September issues, would take "4 to 6 weeks" for delivery-- that would place it sometime between Sep 1 and Sep 15. Sep 2 I received an outdated issue of Harper's Bazaar and learned I would not receive the September issue of the other magazine at all. (If curious, see my review for Marie Claire.) So, out of the two September Fall Fashion issues I paid for, I received none.
I found it impossible to contact Hearst's customer service department from their website, unless I wanted to pay for a long distance call. Shame on them for placing the burden upon the customer for rectifying their error. The "email us" link was broken (with an "invalid code" message followed by programming language. Yes, I enabled java script, accepted cookies, re-tried, etc.) I googled and, luckily, discovered a third party website that lists toll-free customer service numbers and reviewers' experiences dealing with the companies.
Upon calling, the customer service agent was able to credit my account for the outdated magazine. (But could not remedy the missing MC which I reviewed elsewhere.) I asked him to pass along to his superiors that HM should post their 800# so customers can contact HM toll-free when, on a day such as today, their email link is broken. It is as if they are making contacting CS as difficult for the customer as possible. He replied, "that's the first I've heard 'the email link is broken'" in a tone suggesting he didn't believe me.
You know, I had made and attempt to be pleasant; it's not the CS's fault that these things happened, I was just asking him to pass along my feedback. He sighed and in an annoyed tone of voice said he would pass it along. The whole experience was a completely off-putting and disappointing. The only credit I give them is for taking the outdated issue off of my account which is, in my opinion, the least they could do. Their practices seem to me to border on something like false advertising or perhaps mail fraud. Magazines are time-sensitive. How can they get away with mailing and billing for expired issues that predate the "4-6 week" window? I loath when companies default to screwing over the customer and place the onus upon the customer to notice it in the first place and waste his/her time fixing it.
The other two magazines I ordered at the same time, from another publisher, had similar problems with one missing issue and one outdated issue. But in contrast to HM, their CS telephone number was printed inside the magazine and the CS agent was quick and pleasant about amending my account.
As far as the magazine itself, I like their take on fashion. It has a modern, sort of authoritative edge-- not overly staid and not overly sexy. Wearable, for the most part, and a little more attainable with a mixture of high, medium and lower cost items. I enjoy learning about the sorts of cosmetics and skincare they tend to feature. It's always a fun moment away from the hubbub of the work-a-day world to cruise through Bazaar.

I was lured into subscribing to this magazine by an extraordinary offer and like it much more than I thought I would. It really is a great magazine.

Well, it appears that I ordered this subscription - I had forgotten about it, on April 16th, 2010. I have yet to receive it.
