Who else's magazine is still MIA?
I keep waiting and waiting. My account was "suspended" = good. Hubby sent the payment in on Monday morning. It is March 27th and I was supposed to have something by the 20th. *sigh* So sad. I hope this all gets ironed out soon. I can't be the only one, right?
What issue "should" I have gotten? I'll probably head out to B&N to get it.

Mine hasn't arrived either. Kim was kind enough to RAK me with an extra copy she had. I'm not paying that bill until it arrives though!

STephenie,
I haven't gotten mine, either. When I called yesterday, they offered to extend my subscription a month or send me the replacement mag. At least I got someone nice this time as opposed to the snarkiness that others have described. I get that I wouldn't get mine before for the stores for the first issue...let's just hope I get the next one at all.

mine hasn't come either. I don't think I am gonig to pay the bill at all. I think I am going to return it when/IF it comes. I bought one at walmart and if need be I guess I'll just continue to buy them there.

I e-mailed them about it (I paid in Feb) and they offered an extention on my subscription. Still no explaination, or "we are trying to make sure this doesn't happen again".

Does anyone have the contact info of where to inquire? I also already paid my subscription and have not seen my mag yet... :(
Mine finally came today, but it was ripped to shreds. It was so bad I couldn't read it. It went straight to the trash. :(

Leah - you can call them and they'll replace the magazine.
Thanks Darcy, I will try that.

I never got mine because i am canadain and they weren't honoring the early canadian subscriptions at the special price. Which wasn't stated anywhere when i signed up and got a notification that said i was signed up and would be billed shortly. Now i have to wait 6-8 weeks before my first issue will come out.

I went to the website and emailed them. I don't have the number. . .
Leah - I'd call. That ticks me off!!

I am still waiting too. I paid early and they promised it by March 20. They haven't responded to my last two emails so I may call them again today.
Such a disappointing start.

I sent another email yesterday. Now I wish I hadn't paid for my subscription. This is ridiculous!

Never give up, never surrender! Mine came in the mail yesterday. I did not pay for the sub, nor did I call, but it came! WOOT! So maybe some are still on their way for some of you? Off to pay my sub!

Include me! But I haven't seen it for sale anywhere, so at least I haven't passed up any opportunities to get it!

Still waiting here too. Thinking about canceling. Honestly, I'm not really interested in it after having to wait and hearing everything about how lousy they've been. Also, the reviews from those who have gotten it have been less than stellar. Not sure if it's worth supporting...

Still no mag here, i ended up e-mailing twice, first time was the 18th, and they told me that i should have it by the 20th, so i e-mailed on the 20th and they told me they were sending me a new copy and i should expect it in 2-3 weeks...
I definately wont be paying the bill till i get a copy, Im not about to pay for something that i dont get... I have seen it in the stores, and it wasnt great, but i dont think it was bad for the first issue, i really think it will probably get better, although i think they should add more for veterens, it really seemed to be geared towards beginners.

i didn't subscribe to start with, but i bought an issue at hastings, and i liked it. i figure it will take them a while to really get going...
i know i am going to buy it, so i figured i'd go and an subscribe--the little card in the mag said only like $15, and at $7 a pop at hastings, i figure i might as well subscribe...
i hope you all get yours soon, and i hope i made a good decision about subscribing!

Still haven't got mine either. I haven't paid either & I'm thinking I won't. I'll just pick it up in the store I guess!

I haven't got mine either. I think I'll get one at B&N today on the way to visit my cousin at the hospital. If they're extending subscriptions at this point then it's pretty safe to assume mine is MIA. I haven't decided yet if I want to subscribe or not but if I like the first one $11 is way better than 6x whatever the news stand price is! But we actually subscribe to very few magazines here...just not big on that. I'm fine with getting them at the store. Especially if the timing is going to be so similar...if the buzz starts here and I can just go out and buy it...might be worth the extra $$!

ps, at no point am I advocating or considering NOT buying it, only whether to prepay a year or get it retail, kwim? I understand the amound of work you gals have put into producing the magazine!

I just got off the phone with them and was told they "don't have replacement copies available" but they're extending my subscription. I already paid.

I never got mine because i am canadain and they weren't honoring the early canadian subscriptions at the special price. Which wasn't stated anywhere when i signed up and got a notification that said i was signed up and would be billed shortly. Now i have to wait 6-8 weeks before my first issue will come out.
I had plans to subscribe once I saw the first issue but if this is the case I guess I'll pass on that. The one thing that I love about digiscrapping as a general rule is that we pay the same as everyone else, and get the same service for everything because paypal is accepted and there is no shipping or duty or whatever that makes online shopping for everything else such a pain.
But if I have to wait for 6 weeks after everyone else has a copy, and if I can't get the same deal everyone else gets just because I'm Canadian - you know what? Forget it. I should have expected as much, it happens everywhere else. I just get excited when I think we might actually be able to get something without the extra expense and hassle, but it always turns out too good to be true.

Still waiting. I've reconciled to the fact I probably will not receive it. They did extend my subscription one month.

Still waiting here too. :(
I subbed in December, paid on January 15th. I emailed and got a response saying that my account was good, just wait until March 20th.
I waited until the 24th and emailed them back. Yesterday I got an email back saying that they were sorry I didn't get my premiere issue so they were extending my subscription an extra month.
I did buy a copy for $7, but I don't expect to see the one I signed up for.
