Subscriptions - your questions answered
Why should I subscribe?
- Your own copy delivered to your door
- Never miss an issue
- Money-back guarantee: you can cancel your subscription at any time and we'll refund you for any unmailed issues.
Why should I buy your magazines and not the competitors?
Practical Publishing has been producing high-quality craft magazines since 2004, and we're a well-established company with a good reputation in the papercraft industry. The enthusiasm and knowledge of our staff shines through in our magazines.
I live outside the UK. Can I subscribe?
Absolutely. We have lots of subscribers overseas.
What payment methods do you accept?
- Direct Debit is available for UK subscription payments — the hassle-free way to pay!
- Credit/debit card. We accept Visa, Mastercard and Maestro.
- PayPal. If you don't have a credit or debit card, or you'd prefer not to use it, we're happy to accept PayPal payments.
Is it safe to use my credit card on your website?
We take card security extremely seriously. We use a secure checkout system so your payment details will not be intercepted. Furthermore, credit card payments on our website are processed automatically by Protx, a well-respected payment processing company, so your card details are never actually seen by us.
When will I get my first magazine?
Your subscription will commence with the next available issue. In the case of a monthly magazine, that means it could be up to 4 weeks before you receive your first magazine. In the case of a bi monthly magazine (one that is published every two months) it could be 7 or 8 weeks.
When will I get my free gift?
If the subscription offer you take up includes a free gift, this should be with you within 28 days.
If I don't like the magazine, can I cancel my subscription?
You can cancel your subscription at any time and we will refund you for any unmailed issues. Please note that if you received a gift when you subscribed and your subscription has run for less than a year, we reserve the right to deduct this from the amount to be refunded.
Will my subscription be renewed automatically?
If you subscribe by Direct Debit (currently only available to UK customers), you will be billed regularly until you cancel your subscription.
If you subscribe by credit/debit card or PayPal we won't keep renewing your subscription automatically — instead we will write to you when your subscription is about to run out and ask if you wish to renew.
