normal start from issue 1 but you could ask for back copies and see what happens

Hi S2ksean

I would recomend starting your subscription from the latest issue.

Buy the first few back issues starting at 1 up to mabye 10 to get started on.

In the meantime keep checking ebay for issues at a good price see 4 issues for £9.99 + Postage £3.95 - Standard Delivery

Then top up with back issues as required.

I did this and saved myself about £250

Warning Your back issues may take up to two months to arrive from ordering unless Deag has improved their contracted despatch firm.

Why 28 days?

If I order an online item I and most other online shopers expect it in 7 days MAX.

If an item is out of stock, then the seller should say so, and give an expected date of delivery see Jewellers Loupe - Double Lens (10x mag) Flexi-Neck Magnifier, etc

Mr T, you and Admin are the stalwarts of this forum, your advise on the build is invaluable and your historical posts are most helpful.

Deag has produced and is selling one of the most professional builds in the "Victory", the only thing I can see letting them down is the lackadaisical attitude of their contracted distributation company

If this company has improved from 2 months to 28 days I will apologize unreservedly to Mr T for this post and hope he and Admin can improve things further to a more acceptable 7 Days.

Would any forum members like to comment on back issue delivery times.

i order an item on the net 6 weeks later it has not arrived i phone the company and ask why i was told not enought arders to justafie making them may wait till xmas this was photo etch items for a model[ if its instock you get it if out you just have to wait not every one snapes at your command]

I recently purchased an item on the web and it tool 3 months!! the fact is the 28 days rule is a legal cover all that has been used for many years and is standard practice. if you read the terms and conditions on most sites where they deliver to you (and most people don't)you will see that they are not legally bound to next day. The base problem is that society has become much more litigious people moan if things are a day late but also people increasingly sue so businesses have to protect themselves; its all basic contract law. As for holding stock, just think about it the cost would go through the roof if everybody was holding stock on the off chance of a late buyer they are only being sensible it is a business after all.

My advice try and get the issues that contain the hull frame then have a monthly subscription its unlikely you will be running out of things to do I am 12 issues behind before i started copper plating.

Sorted quickly is the main thing and glad you got sorted
