Changes to subs: NOW SIX ISSUES A YEAR!.

Yeah, it was about time we caught up… we publish six issues a year now and our subscriptions were for just four. Very confusing!

So now when you order a sub, you’ll get SIX issues delivered to your door, by airmail, wherever you are in the world, for just $54.95!

It’s the only way to ensure you’ll get each issue as it comes out without having to order each individual copy: and you’ll save a bit of dough too. And we also give away free stickers just to our loyal subscribers… so waddya waitin’ for? Press that BUY button above!

Shipping delays on all orders.

Unfortunately because of terrorist threats to cargo planes, all mail to the USA is now being checked and is going through increased security procedures. This has created a huge backlog and our shippers are advising that nearly all orders to the USA will take a month.

We are sorry for this. It is out of our hands.

It shouldn’t affect orders to Europe, but we are still experiencing slower than usual service.

You know who’s to blame? Yeah.

Late deliveries… issue 17 subscriptions.

We’ve had word from our shippers that large quantities of their mail were held up at JFK by USPS and not distributed.

This has affected deliveries of the magazine throughout the USA; if you subscribe, we have been assured that mail is now in the system and that your magazine will arrive soon, and that this mistake won’t be repeated.

As you can imagine, we are as frustrated as you are by this slow service. Apologies…

Issue 17 is on sale from today… in the new GKM Store!.

Yep, check it out… click on ‘BUY’ and follow the links, and you’ll see we have a new GKM storefront, hopefully easier to browse and buy from. But you be the judge… let us know what you think.
