Placing an Order

Shipping & Delivery Times. When will my first magazine arrive?

Magazines are shipped via the US Postal Service. Depending on when your order is placed, your first magazine can arrive within 1-2 weeks. Typically, it takes 1 to 2 months for a new subscription to start, and there are many factors that can affect that date. The delivery schedule of the magazine you purchased will have the biggest effect on when you receive your first issue. Magazines that are published less frequently can take longer to arrive if your order was placed soon after the last issue was mailed.

These lead times are standard across the magazine industry, regardless of where you place your order. If you place an order for a 1 year, 12 issue subscription and your start date gets delayed, you will still receive all 12 issues.

We work with your magazine's publisher to do everything possible to get your subscription started as fast as possible, but if you think you should have received your first issue already, send a note to our customer service team and we will investigate where your first issue is!

What is your refund policy?

Subscription Core is proud to offer 30-day risk-free magazine subscriptions. If you cancel your order within 30 days of your order date, we will cancel your subscription and provide you a full refund no questions asked.

If more than 30 days have passed since your order was placed, we will still accept cancellation requests at our discretion, however only the remaining time left on your subscription will be refunded if approved. For example, if you cancel your 1 year subscription 6 months after the order is placed, you would be eligible to receive a refund for 50% of the original purchase price.

Your personal credit card information is purged from our systems after 90 days, and any refunds after that time frame will be processed via check, sent to the billing address provided when your order was placed. Please be sure to include an updated address if you've moved or are no longer receiving mail at that address.

Our team does their best to make sure we have the lowest prices available on all the subscriptions we offer. Unfortunately, we are not able to honor deals or promotions on subscriptions unless they are advertised specifically from Subscription Core.
