StoryWorth Is NOT The Way To GO!
One really good perk to having a blog is getting to WHINE when you get ripped off. I am steamed!!
On Instagram I found this deal from a place called StoryWorth. Answer questions and send pictures.
Their ad says:Â We help you record your family stories all year long, and preserve them in a beautiful book.
Okay, sounds like an amazing idea.
I pay for 2 books one for my daughter Selena and one for my son Zachary.
I sent $128.00Â Â True a little steep but it will be so worth it. UNTIL a year later and I only get $78.00
Okay?? Where did the extra $50 go? Back and forth with customer service and here is their response.
I was able to pop into your account to explore this further for you. It appears you purchased a subscription for $89 which would include a book credit for one black and white book. All subscription come with a black and white book. Then you purchased an additional book. Which brings your original total to $128. Color books that are under 300 pages are $79 and color books over 300 pages are $99.
Â
You are trying to order two colored books which would total $158 and your two book credits subtracted $78. Leaving your remaining balance at $80 plus shipping which is $5.49. Bringing total to $85.49.
Â
I hope I cleared a bit up for you. Let me know if you have any other questions, happy to help!
Â
Clear as MUD right?? Nope, you didn’t order the correct book so we are just going to keep the extra $50??!
Â
So, here is my review. RUN AWAY!! This company is NOT a trust worthy company to deal with.
Â
Personally, I believe my money was better spent buying a blank leather journal and writing stories in my own handwriting. Which is exactly what I have done.Â
Grrrrrrrrrrr
Okay, I feel better now. I said my peace. I feel better.
Â
Remember Storyworth IS BAD! Run AWAY!!
Â
Blank leather journal. GOOD! AND pretty too!!

It does make perfect sense IF you understand their platform.
The $89 subscription includes the service + a book printing credit. You added an additional credit, bringing your total to $128.
Paid $128
Two b+w book credits = $78
They didn’t steal your $50. The additional $50 (admittedly steep) is to use their system to send you questions for a year.
It isn’t a cheap thing, but it’s almost not cheap to print a one-off bound book.

Say what? I’ve read their explanation a couple of times and still have no idea what they’re on about!

I’ve heard of them. I’m glad I decided it was too expensive!! I couldn’t make sense of that explanation they gave at all…

Thank you for the heads up! I was into the whole idea until I kept reading. I so so so hate it when a company gives you all that mumbo jumbo while they are stealing from you.
