Yep, my brother works in a supermarket and they get it delivered for him, there still seems to be a bit of a delay in it but that could be down to him not being told it has arrived, and it is nothing like the delays that have been mentioned here.

i received the dvd mug and issues 2 and 3 and thats been it so far, i rang last week and i eventually got though on another attempt this morning. They told me that on the 20th Feb issues 4 and 5 and the book ends were posted to me, i didn't get them. She was adament that they were posted she couldn't give me a tracking number they don't do them for some reason and she told me that they would sent them out again at the end of the month.I couldn't believe she was actually getting thick with me on the phone anyway i said that if it was posted on the 20th Feb and you presumed i got them, then why wasn't issues 6 and 7 posted out on the 20th March she couldn't give me an answer. I reckon i'll be calling again in a fortnight.

I have to say, lads, I've had a few magazine subscriptions over the last 4-5 years and none of them have been anywhere near as bad as what you're describing on here.

If I were ye I'd cancel and see if I could convince a local newsagent to get them in for me. They have to be reasonably timely with newsagents because those are returnable orders and they get penalised for shipping delays. (I know, I know, such concepts are alien to anyone used to the vagaries of the Direct Market...

Its getting to be a right pain in the arse, I missed a delivery this morning, so I will have to go to the local sorting office to collect them later. I dont know if its the missed 2nd delivery, or if its the 3rd. Ill let You all know when I get them.

But yes, this service is unacceptable, When I have My " Free" gifts I will be canceling the subscription, Hopefully I will have something for My troubles.
p.s. The Mug " Free" gift that came with the first, was Not the one pictured on the website, More like an eggcup than a mug.
