Where Find Pdf Magazines?

Where do I find the cheap magazines?

  • Where do I find the legit and cheap magazine subscriptions? I am interested in subscribing to a few magazines. I know its absurd to subscribe directly through the various websites of the actual magazines because it's easy enough to find highly discounted magazine subscriptions. For example, I recently subscribed to a year of Rolling Stone Issues (30 issues) for about 10 dollars. Where can I find a place to subscribe to magazines like Scientific American, New Yorker, FastCompany, etc... on the cheap/so that I don't have to wait months for my first issue to start? Amazon seems fairly cheap, but it does say The first issue should arrive in 4-6 weeks. Any way to avoid this? As a bonus, any superexcellent magazines to subscribe to in a similar vein to the ones above?

  • Answer:

    I've had good luck with http://www.mags4cheap.com/magazines/index.php. The nice thing is they offer discounts on renewals as well as new subscriptions, which the publishers certainly don't do. As far as the 4-6 week wait, I think that is pretty standard. It just takes that long for the publishers to manage their databases.

If searching for a specific magazine, I've used www.magazinepricesearch.com which monitors several different places to find the best deal. And yes, it's a shame ebay doesn't allow mag subscriptions before; I have had good luck with them.

eBay...You will have to wait 4-6 weeks regardless of where you order. Find a good seller with lots of good feedback and subscribe. If you really need issues immediately, you can always get them at the newsstand/bookstore or your library until the subscription kicks in. just ideas...

You can also check your frequent flyer program if you have any miles. If you have 1000 or so laying around that you'll never turn into a ticket you can frequently use them for a subscription.

Does anyone know where I can get The Economist for cheap? Amazon has it at $186, which is still too much for me (I know it's a really good magazine and is probably worth that much, I just can't afford it; I wish they offered a biweekly subscription for half the cost).

http://www.bestdealmagazines.com/ Although I don't subscribe to paper mags anymore, I had very good luck with these folks when I did.

Just a warning: I bought two subscriptions through bestdealmagazines.com. One of them came, one of them did not. Their customer service department never replied to my emails and I couldn't get my money back because too much time had elapsed (they tell you it can take up to 8 weeks for your mags to arrive, so by the time I realized something was wrong, it was too late to file a claim).

bluefly: For the Economist, find a friend who already has a subscription. They frequently have good deals for giving a subscription as a gift.

Seconding a problem with BestDeal - I ordered two magazines, one came, the other folded shortly after I signed up for it. They never offered me a replacement or gave me my money back despite a slew of emails. You did ask for cheap. And you get what you paid for.

I had similarly bad experience with magsforless.com. I ordered a subscription, they said allow 8 to 12 weeks for the first issue to arrive. It didn't. I e-mailed them and they responded saying they re-submitted the order, and to wait another 12 weeks. I did. It's now six months since I submitted the order, and they no longer reply to e-mails. And it's way too late to do a chargeback on my credit card. Google magsforless (I wish I had) and you'll find similar bad experiences. I would avoid eBay for the same reason. You're supposed to wait many weeks for your first issue to arrive, and by that time, if it doesn't arrive, it's too late to complain.
