1. My latest issue has not arrived?

Because of the COVID – 19 pandemic there are significant postal delays in various countries so we ask you to bear with us at this difficult time. Please do not contact us directly about non-receipt of magazines as we have limited staff able to help at this time. Indeed, should the publication of an issue of the magazine be postponed, we will honour the number of issues and not the term of the subscription.

2. Why take out a subscription?

With a subscription you can look forward to receiving your favourite magazine through your door every month, saving you the time and trouble of going to the shops to buy a copy. If you take advantage of one of our special discount offers a subscription will also save you money compared to the normal magazine cover price. Don't forget subscriptions also make a great gift (see Gift subscriptions).
