Subscription services for most magazines are handled by third parties companies. Therefore, it might be that the magazines go out to retailers (thru distributors) and the subscription mailing services at the same time. The subscription mailing services then have to sort and mail out the magazine, meaning you receive it after it has already been in stores for perhaps weeks. I generally don't subscribe to magazines anymore. I just see if the current issue interests me enough to buy it. I think in the past it was perk to be a subscriber that you would get the magazine before everyone else. Nowdays magazines may rely more on retail purchases than subscriptions. But it is REALLY frustrating to see the magazine that you subscribed to sitting at the bookstore for weeks before you see yours. Ugh!
The Absolute Sound delivery issues
Is anyone else having trouble with their TAS subscription?
For the past four months it has been getting later and later until the past two issues have not even shown up.
( Yes I have paid my bill ). I see the magazine out on the store shelves 2 and 3 weeks before I receive it in the mail.
Is this just isolated or a trend?
