expected delivery times for back issues

[LisaS]

I bought a few back issues on 11/20 and was just wondering what timeframe I should expect for receiving them? That is, is this a 2 week type of thing and they'll be here this week or next or is it more the default 6-8 weeks?

Also - I subscribed at the same time. Will a first issue arrive shortly (I assume the last one) or will it wait until the next issue is due out? Is that Feb for the Spring issue?

Back issues will arrive in 7-10 business days (usually shorter).

The first issue on your subscription will arrive in 4-6 weeks. The timing of issues determines what issue you will start with. If the new issue is due out in 1 week, we'll wait and start with you with the new issue. If it's longer than that, we'll send the current issue (the one that's already printed) so you don't have to wait so long. The spring issue doesn't mail until February - so subscriptions entered now will start with the holiday issue.

Does that make sense? If you need more info - you can private message me with your name and address and I'll check on it for you.

Thanks Shannon. That's exactly the information I was wondering about.
If I don't see the back issues in another week or so (it's only 12 days and Thanksgiving was in the middle) I'll PM you.

Still waiting for latest issue. Spoke to the PO and told them this is the third time. All I got was "we will look for it".
Anybody else waiting?
