I would be happy just to get Volume 6 delivered :(
Australia isn’t that far away.
we do international, and we also have the digital edition… that’s instant! and you can print it out!
Print Edition plus the Digital Edition – US $49.95
Digital Edition Only – 4 Volumes: US $26.95
I am a subscriber already!. It’s just the mail from you to me is FUBAR.
Hopefully I will get the reshipped copy soon.
theres are a lot of people/places/things that happens to a MAKE once it leaves us, but if you dont get your 06 soon – just email me, we’ll get you one.
I’m a premium subscriber from Australia and have yet to receive my Make06 [I love the Digital Edition tho’] maybe this is a trend…
international takes a bit, if you don’t get it in a week or so – just email me, we’ll get you taken care of.
Hi Richard
I had a look at remarkablerocket.com.
Is that some of your handywork?
Well done, thats some fine DIY.
jihgo,
I too am in .au and I renewed my subscription for Volume 06. It had not arrived within 3 weeks of the distribution date. I sent an email to replace@espcomp.com (I didn’t know what to replace “replace” with) detailing the situation. I got an immediate email response and about 3 weeks later, a shiny new (*) Make Vol 06.
Their distribution might suck somewhat, but their customer service really is quite good.
(* Not actually shiny – more of a satin/matte finish)
Yes, I agree on the customer service.
This is the second time that I have had to get the mag resent and I’ve only been been subscribed for 2 issues.
Both times there was no hassle to get a copy resent but if it keeps happening the Make people might think I’m just trying to scam extra copies.
There must be some sort of Make mag black hole dealie thing between the US and Oz.
jh
jihgo,
This is Richard again, i just changed my screen name from the rather annoying plain text email address [i get enough spam already]… thanks, yes, she is partly my handywork.
I’m another Ausie you can add to the list of people who haven’t received Vol 6. I had hassles with Vol 4 and Vol 5 too. I sent an email about Vol 6 today. Maybe I should send a reminder email or something when Vol 7 ships :-)
