Hi new Matey

Welcome here.. and good luck with your venture.

I have posted these details elsewhere, but having hassles in linking directly to the post.

Anyway, I subbed online on 28/09/2010, received an email reply a few hours later, the letter arrived approx 1 week later.

According to DeAgostini, a waiting period of 28 days will ensue. I contacted their local agents a few days ago. According to them the package was sent from JHB on 2nd October.

I received the notice (dated 06/10/2010) from the P.O. this morning(08/10/2010)[No way-bill number]

Package was not boxed, but in sturdy plastic envelope. All pieces intact, nothing missing or damaged. (The only funny was that Issue 3 magazine seems to have been removed from a binder, i.e. staples torn out leaving unsightly holes, but inconsequential, parts are what are important and instructions are visible.)

I must emphasize though that our P.O. is small and I know the lady at the counter, so I do not expect any problems there.

As the waiting period is 28 days, I assume the issues are sent every four weeks. This is being discussed elsewhere on the forum and the consensus is that this is so.

There has been a good fuss about problems experienced by other subscribers in the U.K. , but seems as if DeAgostini has woken up and is offering a better service now.

Lets hope it continues to be so.

Anyway, Good Luck and see you through the window....

Regards
Jacques
