Customer Rating: - Why not same quality delivery as from Apple?
One has to wonder why a great magazine such as MacWorld cannot ship their first subscription issue *immediately* and what actually happens during the eternity between ordering a subscription on Amazon and receiving the first issue in the mail. When you consider that the entire infrastructure is electronic (order goes in at Amazon and Amazon notifies (electronically?) Subscription Dept. at MacWorld and email lands in an inbox, read on a Mac and then what? Do they print emails and stack them in a pile for someone who "doesn't do email" or the entire thing just sits in the inbox for months on end until someone goes "let's do a batch of subscription this weekend. order some pizza."

I am honestly curious about this. Why such horrendous delays? Why not deliver first issue(s) electronically (PDF?) until print issues start arriving?

One star for this experience. Magazine is great but for now I am going to browse it in the bookstore until delivery times improve.

Customer Rating: - Very cool content, a must for all mac users
It's Mac. If you can take 100% mac stuff, and want to have tips, how-tos, and other insights, this is a great magazine. I learned a lot without having to go through 15mn of tutorials on the apple website.

Customer Rating: - Takes a long time to receive first issue
I like the magazine but it took almost 12 weeks to receive the thing only after sending an 'nice' email to amazon.

Ordered two months ago and still have not received a issue yet. Wonder if I will? Did not take two months for the bill to come? Wow!
