Your on-line ordering system needs work. I ordered, or tried to, two books that required two transatlantic calls to finally get done.

Highly recommended
The first book I ordered got lost in the mail, once I notified Key Publishing they quickly sent a replacement which I received. Very pleased with service.
A quick and accurate response.
A quick and accurate response. They produce an excellent magazine (*Classic Land Rover*) in print format—which is fantastic—and they continue to ship to Continental Europe (Portugal in particular).
Quick reaction
Quick reaction, corrected my fault (double renewal of subscription), quick refund.
Key publishing is a fantastic company to do business with!
Their selection of magazines is incredible - handling topics few other publishers address and constantly adding new titles to their selection. Customer Service is fantastic: always prompt, friendly and helpful. And shipment to the United States is excellent, with fast shipment times in delivery. I definitely recommend Key, as they are a pleasure to do business with!
RAAFA Aviation Heritage Museum Appreciation
Quick responses to my queries. Great coverage of aviation heritage and history. Once I have finished each issue, this SQNLDR Armament Engineer, RAAF Retired(46.5yrs service) donates it to the RAAFA WA Aviation Heritage Museum Library to add to the wide array of aviation history stored there. It is greatly appreciated by our volunteer librarians.

Computer purchasing overseas is difficult. As an old guy in my 80s computer steps are not my friend. one step procedures would be far easier and the alternative over seas phone calls are too expensive.
Great magazine , long time reader. Please keep it simple. PS. in these ,references in US dollars do not go over well with Canadians.
Many thanks.

I contacted Customer Services to inform them, and immediately dispatched a replacement copy to me, I am vey grateful to them and the fact they really look after their subscription customers. Top marks all round, Thank you. Martin Buckroyd.
Outstanding Service
Having failed to receive my October issue of Flypast Magazine I contacted Key Publishing. I received an email from a lady called ? Hellen. I provided the requested details, then received another email informing me that arrangements had been made to dispatch another copy of the missing magazine. All of this within a 4 hour period.
September 2026 issue of Combat Aircraft
The September 2026 issue of Combat Aircraft had the envelope stuck to the magazine cover.
Key Publishing responded to my raising this problem very quickly, replacing the September issue and promising to see how they can prevent this happening again, with their posting service.
This has been a very good service from Key Publishing, which I appreciate.
