If I order a Subscription today, what issue will I receive?
New print subscriptions receive the next available issue from the publisher, which in most cases will not be the issue currently on sale in retail stores. A delivery timeline guide for this is provided on each product page and it will vary based on the frequency that the magazine is printed.
Each publication applies a certain cut-off date of which determines how many magazine copies are to be printed for Subscribers and retailers of a particular issue. Your first issue delivered will depend on what part of this cycle your order is placed and processed.
