Subscribe now...pay extra $8 for one magazine?

(1/2) > >>

Mallorn:
I've lurked and stalked long enough and after the turn of the year was planning on getting a one year magazine subscription.  A couple of weeks ago I saw the below comment posted when I was ready to subscribe; it made me pause, and I was hoping it would change, but it hasn't.  Here is the statement for reference if you click on subscriptions>Subscription - 1 year US - Buy One Now:

"Check here to start your subscription with this issue. - If ordering after December 16th you may start your subscription with the current issue (Feb/Mar issue 22.1). The issue must be shipped from Houston, TX and will add $8 shipping charge to your bill."

The way I read that is if I sign up now I'll get the next issue but it will cost me an extra $8.  Now, I am a guy on a tight budget and $26.99 for a year sub is all I want to pay; I don't see the reason I why I would really want to pay an additional $8 for just one of the magazines.  How do I simply sign up for six magazines in the future for $26.99, without the extra fee?  Do I need to wait until after this mailing cycle, and sign up in a couple of months so my first issue is the April/May magazine? 

mullet:
Just don't, "check here". The way I read it if I'm right is you will then skip that issue and start with the next one and then end with the Feb/Mar issue next year.

Mallorn:
Ahh, good catch!  Indeed you are right; simply don't click the box and it all goes through as a normal subscription.  The bold lettering must have blinded me like a deer in headlights. :)

Thanks!

Yup, same thing happened to me when I was sending a gift subscription last fall. Got me confused. Maybe there should be a wording change on the subscriptions page?   ??? Glad you got your PA subscription!! You're gonna love it!! dpgratz

Mad Max:
How do I subscribe for the Mag?
This will let me do bow of the month too.   Right ??
