So I joined Maxim Magazine on SEPTEMBER 22...
 

and I have NOT fucking received an issue yet. They charge my CC a week after I suscribed.

So I fucking emailed them and got this reply:

"Dear Mr. George,

We received your order on 9/22. It takes approximately 6-8 weeks to
start receiving your magazines. Your subscription will start with the
September issue and expire with the August 2007 issue.

If we can be of any other assistance, please let us know.

Thank you for your patience,

Suzanne Samuels
Customer Service"

Ok, so it takes 6-8 weeks to send a magazine my way?

It takes quite a while to receive the first one. Did when I had a sub with them.

I got mine within a month, i think i received 3 issues within a week (prior month, current month, and next months).

Odd, with magazines like maxim and the like I never have had to pay. I just went with those email offers and presto a one year free subscription. They did take around 1.5 months to start though.

Keep it hard till the first issue arrives ...

thats what happens when u grow up in the net generation.

Why did you pay? Free subscriptions are all over the web.

I have Maxim, Blender and Stuff free for 3 years. They usually end up in the trash shortly after arriving.

I didn't get anything from them for 4 months then got 3 magazines at once.
