Placing an Order
Delivery Times
Weekly or more frequently published magazine should arrive within 4 to 6 weeks of your order. The first issue of a magazine published 10 to 12 times a year should arrive within 6 to 8 weeks and sometimes up to 10 weeks depending on the publication. Less frequently published magazines, such as quarterly or magazines not published on a regular schedule, can take up to 11 weeks. These are standard industry lead times and every effort will be made to expedite your order. Please note that your subscription ultimately starts when you receive your first issue, not when you place your order. This simply means that you will receive all the issues you subscribed to or be promptly refunded as our policy states.

Subscription Manager Overview
The Subscription Manager allows you to keep track of all of your subscriptions ordered on Magazine-Agent.com. Login using the e-mail address and password entered when you placed your order. If you entered an e-mail address, but have not yet set up a password, or forgot it, you can set or reset your password at the Subscription Manager homepage. If you did not set up your account using an e-mail address and/or password, but you placed your magazine order through Magazine-Agent, simply create an account using a valid e-mail address. After logging in, use the Find/Add Subscriptions feature to add your subscriptions to your account by using your confirmation number or select billing information. *Please note that if you did not order through Magazine-Agent.com, you cannot track and manage your subscriptions through our service. You will have to contact the magazine directly or the company through which you ordered. Phone numbers are available by clicking the "Phone Numbers" link at the bottom of any page.top
Expiration Date and Issues Left
The expiration date/issues left indicator in your Subscription Manager is an estimate based on standard publisher lead times. It does not account for any delays, frequency changes or possible unforeseen problems that might occur. If your subscription begins after the estimated date, it is likely that the "issues left" indicator will be incorrect. Rest assured that your subscription WILL serve the full term of issues purchased. You may adjust the expiration date in your Subscription Manager. The mailing label on your magazine has an expiration date which is going to be the correct one 90% of the time, but again, we won't know what date that is until you receive the first issue. So it is very possible that the account manager's expiration date doesn't match the mailing label expiration date. If it doesn't, please update it in your account manager (or let us know what the expiration date on the label says and we'll do it for you) so you can accurately manage your renewals. top
