Good but could be great.…

I love the magazines but the UK has options to buy single copies along with the subscriptions and for some that would be a game changer good example the infernus marines comes with 5 guys and the the extra Sergeant is a separate mag BUT infernus come in boxes of 10 theres no way to fill the squad without a second magazine or after market purchase. Would love the single magazines purchase option.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your thoughts. We're delighted to hear you love the magazines and appreciate your passion for building your collection—your attention to detail is impressive! We understand how having single issue purchase options could make a big difference, especially in cases like the Infernus Marines. Your suggestion is taken on board and will be passed to the relevant team for consideration as we are always looking for ways to improve our service. In the meantime, we hope you continue to enjoy your collection and thank you again for your feedback.

Poor company and customer service. I have no subscription on my account yet they still charge me then refuse to refund unless I pay to send a product back I did not ask for. No help at all from customer service. Do not use this company

Great service

I bought issues of the Winny the Pooh quilt making series for my Mum. My Mum enjoys making things and has been excited to get all the issues she had missed from the series so far.

The website was easy to navigate. It is great that you can select individual issues. Delivery was quick - great service as I bought a number off issues at the same time. They all arrived at the same time and delivery was free due to the number of issues bought at once. This was a great service that I will use again to help my Mum complete her quilt!.

Ups handing off to USPS must stop

Ups handing off to USPS must stop, I pay for shipping and the USPS handling of packages is incorrect, unprofessional and damaging to the package. A neighbor found it sitting on the grass at the base of our (because it did not fit in it)mailbox cluster brought it to my house, my other neighbor brought it over because it was in her mailbox not mine. Rough handling jamming it in the mail box with other mail.
