This really doesn't even surprise me. Good luck canceling, it took them like a week+ to get back to my cancellation e-mail. :/I just read on a site they aren't even registered with the BBB!!!! OMG! I am canceling right now!

Well seeing as it is now nearing the 60 day cut off mark for disputing things with your debit card I filed a dispute with my bank. As a last ditch effort to get a response from them, this is the email I received today...

We have undergone an ownership and management change and have resume shipping. We will be back on track in March and you will be receiving shipping confirmations very soon.

I see they are still using the management change as an excuse. According to this blurb on the BBB's site, They are in DIRECT violation of the FTC's Mail order Rule.
"The Federal Trade Commission's Mail Order Rule allows the seller 30 days to ship ordered products to the buyer unless otherwise specified at the time of purchase. If the seller cannot ship within the 30 day period, they are required to notify the buyer in writing of the delay, and give the option of waiting, or having their money returned within seven days. Credit card payments must be credited within one billing cycle."
Apparently you get a discount on items in their shop. YAY! Discounts on items they'll most likely never send you!What's gets me is what is the membership fee for? What do you get besides the pleasure of paying for nothing and hoping to get a box of samples? Oh wait, I guess it's a membership fee for a scam of the month club.

I don't know if this has been addressed, but did you know they even if you cancel your subscription, THEY KEEP YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO ON FILE?!?!
I just tried signing into the gogogirlfriend website and I got this screen:
I just wrote them an infuriated email demanding my credit card information to be destroyed immediately or I will be contacting my lawyer. I cancelled service in January, there is no reason for them to keep ANY of my financial information on file.
