FAO BiKE subscribers

Have you received the latest mag yet? I havent had anything through the post...

Got mine last week. Although it was late. And I couldn't remember when my subsription, which I took out about this time last year, ended. And as it was in the newsagent and not my letterbox, I assumed my sub had ended. So I bought it at the newsagent. And when I got home my subs copy had been delivered. So then I had 2 copies....

Got rid of one to a non-biker mate who wants a bike but his other half won't let him. She's angry with me now.

Thanks for listening.

nope.

i sent an email a few days ago complaining that they were avalible in the shops, but i didnt have mine yet.

heres the reply.

Thank you for your recent email.

Bike November issue had an official embargo until 10th October 2006, due to a new bike release. Subscription copies therefore will not land until 10th October. Unfortunately there has been a mistake made by some distributors, and a number of stores are selling Bike before the official on sale date. Bike is currently investigating how this happened, and would like to apologise to subscribers, it is not our intention that copies are available to the public before subscriber copies have been received.

I am sorry to read your issue has not been received and confirm I have arranged for a replacement to be despatched.

i think the subscription only ends when you cancel it, otherwise they assume that you are subscribing for another year.

Did it by Credit card, not direct debit, was def only for 1 year.

[glade]

all the copies were late because they were holding back to get all the 2007 bikes in. Got mine around the 11th though,

Give them a ring, one didnt arrive once and they sent a replacement straight away.

Same thing - got an email to say would be late due to new 2007 bikes. Got it on the 11th but hadn't seen it in the shops till then either

Got mine ok.. on the date that the "mag delayed" email stated 10/11th.

Funny you should say that

Friend of mine bought me a subscription for a year and 22 months later I'm still getting them. Appears her's was set up as a dierect debit insetad of a year only subscription, and only found it because I asked her why.

Do we smell a rat here???

mine was set up for 12 months, but alas 18 months later, im still getting the mags (and the payment are being taken)
