DIGITAL SUB FAQs

Digital subscriptions start with the next issue to be posted per the on-sale date, NOT the current issue.

The digital subscription app will not recognize your login details until the on-sale date that the first issue in your subscription is posted.

The digital issue on-sale posting dates are located here: https://shop.strategyandtacticspress.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=59

The digital subscription is downloaded from an app that is found in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Each publication has an app, so if you get a subscription to World at War, you need to download World at War Magazine, not the Strategy & Tactics Magazine app.

PRINT SUBSCRIPTION FAQs

Subscriptions start (or restart) with the next issue to print. We print to order and cannot start a subscription with a back issue. Once you’ve placed an order, it takes one to two weeks for your subscription to be scheduled. Your subscription is then added to the next production cycle and shipped via USPS Periodical mail. For example, if your subscription was ordered and received by the publisher in November, and the December issue has already shipped, your order will likely be added to the January mailing. Your subscription starts when you receive your first issue–not when you place your order.

The label on the envelope (or the cover wrap) has the expiration number for your subscription. Note that at times a renewed subscription is updated after an issue has closed for mailing. In that case, your subscription expiration will update on your next label. You can always log in to Subscription Genius to check the status of your subscriptions. If you are unable to log in, please use the customer service form here to check on your subscription status.

Because we print to order, if the subscription renewal is received too late, it will start with the next issue to print. Once an issue goes to the printer (about four weeks before mailing) the subscription database is closed for that issue in order to allow us to prepare for its mailing.

Our experience with non-US mail is to allow four months. For domestic delivery allow six to eight weeks. Because we use Periodical mail to keep subscription rates low and that is not the same as first class, delivery will be slower and more variable.

We send out subscriptions through USPS Periodical mail; this mail class isn’t forwarded. Instead, we receive a USPS form with the new address stapled to the front cover of the magazine (and yes, the rest of the magazine is destroyed). It’s important to get a change of address to us as soon as possible to ensure your subscription isn’t interrupted.
