Hi friends of MCM,

There has been some talk recently about when the first issue of a subscription gets delivered, some of that talk very negative. Let me clarify the process for you:

New subscriptions to MCM generally take six to eight weeks to process. Once a subscription is received, the first issue of that subscription to be sent out is the NEXT issue to be published, not the CURRENT one. For example, if you subscribed in April 2021, when the current issue was #208, your subscription will start with issue #209 (due late June) which is the next to be published. I do not see this changing in the foreseeable future, however, once we are up and running with our new subscription management system, there may be some improvement.

Please bear in mind MCM is not a big corporate entity like Kalmbach or Time Life. We are a small business endeavoring to produce the best and most relevant model car magazine for our worldwide audience. Things don't happen immediately as much as some of us would like. That said, we appreciate your patience as we continue to get up to speed. As always, if you are unsatisfied with MCM, you can request a refund.

Thank you for your support of MCM. We will continue to improve the magazine in quality, content, and of course, delivery.

 

Best regards,

Hi Chaz,

Many thanks to Casey for sharing my earlier post and explanation with you.  Your first issue of the subscription will be issue #210, due September/October.

Best regards,

Why won't Chaz get #209?

[TarheelRick]

Where is #209?

Good question, because 210 is supposed to be the Sept/Oct issue.

You were expecting issues to arrive on time?  Dream on.

Great news!

Having been a MCM subscriber until the print version was discontinued, I am very happy to see that a print version is again available and have just subscribed again.

I only learned of the new print edition by accident but it would have been nice to have received notification that a print edition was again available. 

I don't know how many folks (like myself) simply didn't want an online version but would have jumped at the opportunity to again receive this great magazine in print.

It could be that I'm "late to the party", but has any thought been given to notifying former print subscribers who did not renew for the same reason that I didn't?

Actualy, I was lucky enough to get in for 209.  I had posted that I had received 209 and was happy
