This company provides a great service for families. Quick processing and shipping got what I ordered. I had an issue and it was resolved immediately. Highly recommend and will order again in the future.

I was charged a $97 fee that I was unaware of. I immediately became unhappy with the company and contacted them. I got a response nearly immediately, and they refunded my money and canceled the subscription I didn’t realize I had. While I feel they can do better with disclosing the subscription — and it would be far better to NOT have this subscription an automatic thing, but rather something customers would have to intentionally choose — I do appreciate their quick response and the way they resolved this issue. I am rating them 5 stars on their customer service, and hope they will adjust the way their subscription is.

Edit: yes it is on the payment page as a line item but the amount says $0! It does not say anything about a free trial on that page. Also if it was SO clear, why are there hundreds of others with the same problem?! You can’t possibly say that we are ALL missing this?! Seriously! When I called your number it said for me to open a ticket to give y’all my number so that I could get a call back. Fix your system! I wish I could give them NO STARS!!!!! I got hit with a $101 subscription that I never signed up for! And you can’t get them on the phone! You have to email or “chat” with a flipping robot! Scammers!!!!!!

Brandi, We appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback. We do our best to make the subscription information as visible as possible during the ordering process (it's mentioned on multiple screens) and it is listed as a line item on the final screen before you submit payment as well. We send out emails after a customer makes their purchase with instructions for accessing the subscription as well as instructions for cancelling it before the free trial expires. I see that you were in touch with our Customer Support Team earlier today and that they were able to ensure that the subscription was cancelled and the full amount for it refunded. I'm also excited to let you know that we are in the process of implementing phone support in addition to our email and chat options. I hope that you'll give us a try again the next time you're in the market for quality children's books!

NOT TOTALLY CHRISTIAN. Please Beware. They advertise to be a Christian company sending out Christian books. However they have books about Yoga for children. Yoga is an ancient pagan deity. It is not just a simple exercise program.

Tricia, We, here at PDIC, do carry a large number Christian-themed books for children. We also support Christian values. We also recognize that there are other faiths and beliefs that promote kindness and respect for the well-being of others. Our yoga book is, however, not meant to represent any faith or religious belief. Our goal is to support the physical, mental and emotional health and well-being of children everywhere.

I think the three books I ordered will actually be of value to us. I didn’t realize I was signing up for a subscription when I ordered and when the subscription came out of my bank account, I contacted for help to cancel and had no problem getting my money back immediately. I am happy with the books and the customer service I received.

BE VERY, VERY CAREFUL! This “Christian” company will find every way they can to get your money! I ordered books for my grandson, and before I even got all the books they hit me with this “subscription“ fee of $97! Per the BBB website, they always do this! Then they respond to all the complaints by making the customer feel like they did something wrong! If it were an ethical, Christian company they wouldn’t have a DEFAULT when you order books that adds a subscription! Now I can’t access my “membership” details online OR on an app to cancel it myself. There is NO EXCUSE for this! Additionally, every day I am getting multiple texts and emails, which goes over the line of advertising straight into harassment!
