Weekly or more frequently published magazine should arrive within 4 to 6 weeks of your order. The first issue of a magazine published 10 to 12 times a year should arrive within 6 to 8 weeks and sometimes up to 10 weeks depending on the publication. Less frequently published magazines, such as quarterly or magazines not published on a regular schedule, can take up to 11 weeks. These are standard industry lead times and every effort will be made to expedite your order. Please note that your subscription ultimately starts when you receive your first issue, not when you place your order. This simply means that you will receive all the issues you subscribed to or be promptly refunded as our policy states.

You can request refunds through our Subscription Manager. Per our guarantee, you get a full refund if you decide to cancel a magazine within 90 days of placing your order (risk free trial period). If you are beyond the trial period you may cancel at any time for a pro-rated refund of all the unmailed issues left in your subscription.

The expiration date/issues left indicator in your Subscription Manager is an estimate based on standard publisher lead times. It does not account for any delays, frequency changes or possible unforeseen problems that might occur. If your subscription begins after the estimated date, it is likely that the "issues left" indicator will be incorrect. Rest assured that your subscription WILL serve the full term of issues purchased. You may adjust the expiration date in your Subscription Manager. The mailing label on your magazine has an expiration date which is going to be the correct one 90% of the time, but again, we won't know what date that is until you receive the first issue. So it is very possible that the account manager's expiration date doesn't match the mailing label expiration date. If it doesn't, please update it in your account manager (or let us know what the expiration date on the label says and we'll do it for you) so you can accurately manage your renewals.
