You can expect to receive your first issue within 4-12 weeks depending on the distribution cycle. Since most publishers use a mail processing service to print the labels for each month’s mailing, it is possible your order will not be processed until the next run of labels. In addition, most magazines are printed weeks in advance and are only printed in quantities to meet current subscriptions. Because of this practice, the magazine industry has set a standard lead tine of 4 to 8 weeks to begin receiving weekly subscriptions and 8 to 12 weeks to begin receiving monthly and quarterly subscriptions. Naturally, these lead times vary from publisher to publisher. An important note; most monthly magazines arrive during the second week of each month for the coming month, i.e. second week of March for the April issue.
