Shipping Policy
Usually, your first magazine will start arriving within six to eight weeks after we receive your order, but it does depend on the frequency of the magazine you've chosen and what part of the country it is being shipped to.

  • If the publication is a weekly, you should start to receive your first issue in approximately four to six weeks,
  • Bi-weeklies and monthlies take approximately six to ten weeks to start.
  • If the magazine publishes bi-monthly or quarterly, receipt of your first issue may take as long as ten to twelve weeks to start.
Once we receive your order, it will take a week or two for your subscription to be received and scheduled by the publisher, where it will then be included with the publisher's next production cycle and shipped via standard mail. For example, if a subscription to a monthly magazine is ordered and received by the publisher in June, and the July or even August issue has already been mailed, your first issue would be included with the August or September mailing.

Please be assured that these are standard industry lead times, although it can vary from publisher to publisher. The actual delivery date of your first issue will depend on when the next issue is scheduled to be distributed by the publisher and how frequently the magazine you've ordered is published, although our system does allow the fastest processing possible.
Return Policy
All orders are fully cancelable as long as the cancel request is received within 48 hours of the time the order is placed. After that, in most cases cancellations will not be accepted. There's a good reason for this policy.

All orders are pre-paid to the publishers and processed promptly so as to ensure that the subscription begins as quickly as possible. ReceptionMagazines.com differs from other online subscription services in that we never offer free trials or scams. We are authorized sub-agents who sell subscriptions for the lowest rates available by pledging that we will only process legitimate, pre-paid orders from consumers who are sure of what they want when placing orders. This saves time and money for all parties. It seems to work well. Unlike some of our competitors who cancel as much as 50% of all the orders they process, fewer than 1/5 of 1% of all ReceptionMagazines.com customers have requested refunds or cancellation since our online launch.

We do recognize that special situations may arise when an inappropriate magazine is ordered or editorial content changes. In such an event, please contact us by clicking here: https://www.receptionmagazines.com/contact.jsp. All such cases will be handled on an individual, case-by-case basis.
