wasted purchase i bought a package of 5 photos because i needed one image, and didnt take any image for the rest of the year, forgot about them actually. Today i just checked, the year has passed, i didnt receive any email from Shuttestock to notify me i had these 4 images left. I didnt receive any emails from shutterstock since the confirmation of my purchase. So my plan has been closed (after 1 year) and i cant get the other images. That's a despicable way to make money.

It is a scam It is a scam, do not give them your credit card. When you make a free trial account they start charging every month you without notification even if you do not download images. Very disappointing experience, I paid for 5 months without realising it and I had to pay a cancellation fee as well. Stay away!

Fraudulent company Fraudulent company. I turned off the auto-renew repeatedly on my account and they turned it back on. Charged me for three months before I realised what was happening. Contacted customer service who accuse you of lying.

They keep taking your money after you have cancelled, and they won't stop. It is stealing. Nice pictures are indeed available. But to cancel my subscription eventually, I had to search long to figure out how. Here is how: You take personal contact to them with an email, and then they send you back a link, when (or if) they write you back. Then you get to pay a cancellation fee. And then they keep taking more of your money every month afterwards anyway. It is illegal, and I am currently considering lawsuit. But to everyone else out there, please don't be trapped like some of us have. They are here to take the money and service regarding anything is almost non-existing, and they keep taking your money after cancellation.

Good company gone Bad - AVOID Scam company. we used for many years to buy 10 photos when needed. They moved to an annual subscription model cleverly disguised as a Monthly model. We reactived a subscription , discovered 3 months later teh scam and then 'negotiated' £24 to be let out of their little scam in addition to 3 months @£22. £90 for 10 photos that cost about £1-2 each on otehr sites Good company gone bad.
