Hi Foodlover,
We're sorry that you were unhappy with our reviews and the service you receive. Our customer service standards are monitored, so if you provide further information about this incident to ausconsumer@choice.com.au it will receive an independent review.
You've mentioned that you enjoyed the previous magazine format of the reviews. The good news is the physical magazine is still readily available and you can subscribe on our website.
We appreciate the feedback regarding our website. Many of our reviews only are free, so people can sample our reviews before deciding whether to become a member (for example: https://www.choice.com.au/food-and-drink/drinks/tea-and-coffee/review-and-compare/reusable-coffee-cups). There are multiple layers of data available, which we understand can be confusing. Using the filters on the left hand side can narrow down to your individual criteria, or there is also the ability to compare product shortlists if that helps. However, we understand some people still prefer the print format and so we continue to produce this publication.
As you no doubt realise, CHOICE is a non-profit organisation heavily involved in campaigning for better consumer rights in Australia, so any membership goes to supporting our goals for fair, safe and just markets. If a subscription is not for you, then you can also support us by signing one of our petitions or campaign actions.
We offer our sincere for your previous support, and once again apologise for any negativity experienced.
