When will the subscription start?
You can start a subscription any time of the year. Premium Subscriptions start immediately with the latest issue. Depending on when you place your order, it might take 4-8 weeks before the first Print+Digital Subscription magazine is mailed out and you get the email for the first Digital Subscription, as the mailing list must be sent to the printer several weeks before mailing. Visit our Frequently Asked Questions page for order and renewal cutoff dates.
All subscriptions are continuous, which means you will be automatically charged before each issue is published until you cancel your subscription. You can cancel at any time.
Can't wait for the first issue? Choose a Premium Subscription, buy current and back issues in the Beachcombing shop, or contact one of the retail shops that carry the magazine.
