      I ordered on Thursday April 10th from them and paid for next day delivery but I haven’t got it yet. Getting quite concerned now. I contacted them last night but I can’t find anywhere else to contact them.

      I’ve been emailing them for four months about a subscribers copy that arrived damaged. Not had any response at all from enquiries by email or Twitter. Very poor. I’d be interested to know if anyone on here gets a response.

      When I contact them it will be a simple case of ‘mess me around’ & they will find I’ve had the money refunded through Paypal & I’ll just have to not have the magazine!
