RossW Posted May 17, 2011 Share Received mine yesterday. I was under the impression that subscribers are to get it before it is in the shops. Hope it improves (Darn SAPO!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted May 17, 2011 Share Received mine yesterday. I was under the impression that subscribers are to get it before it is in the shops. Hope it improves (Darn SAPO!!) It will never in this country. Why? It's a very small run so they finish the print run and then send it to the mailers and mag distributors. It gets to the PO and shops the same time but the PO takes 3-6 days to mail while the shops have them on the shelfs the next day. It's like that with every SA magazine. Overseas they have a break in the dispatch process to get the subscribers out first. I wan to know why we don't get the same subscriber deals like overseas mags do. With MBUK you actually get a pair of Shimano pedals. Not "Stand in line to win a pair". And you get a pretty good gift if you buy off the shelf. Yes the argument will be "Do you want a great mag or a free gift?". My answer is, with overseas mags you get both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taps Posted May 17, 2011 Share I've given up on a Tread subscription. Probably is the PO's fault, but end result is I never received my mags even after querying with Tread. Subscription probably ended by now anyway. I'll stick to overseas mags as much as I'd like to support local. Maybe once Tread is available digitally .......

ngala24 Posted May 17, 2011 Share I have also had endless problems with my subscription, not worth the frustration anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinkbeeg Posted May 17, 2011 Share I've been a subscriber since the first issue. Only once did I not receive an issue, I e-mailed tread and they sent me another one & included a R150 meal voucher as well. Great service and great mag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauloc Posted May 17, 2011 Share I recently subscribed to Tread and got my first issue in the post yesterday Does anyone have these problems with other magazine subscriptions / is it specific to Tread? Personally, I always get my Bicycling mag, but had issues with my Ride subscription a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that some guys who subscribe to Bicyling gets it about a week before i can buy it in the shops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoman Posted May 17, 2011 Share I don't know if it can be blamed on the Post Office, I had a Bicycle SA mag subscription and that was always on time. Bicycle mag would also send an SMS informing you that the mag was in the post and two days later you would get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
