We are currently operating a normal service with deliveries, especially within the UK, largely unaffected. However, as the situation is fast-changing and difficult to predict, we have made digital editions of our magazines available for existing print subscribers free of charge on a temporary basis. To access your digital edition - available across all devices - please login to your account at mymagazine.co.uk where you will be able to redeem your unique access code.
Current known issues:
TV Times and TV&Satellite Week will now arrive with you on a Wednesday or Thursday, as opposed to the Tuesday, so still in good time for the weekend viewing information. We hope in the near future deliveries will revert back to normal.
Amateur Gardening, Woman and Woman's Own will now be delivered just before, or on the 'On-Sale' date which is Tuesday. We have been advised by Royal Mail that, due to issues surrounding the Coronavirus, they will no longer be delivering magazines and letters on a Saturday. We do understand this is a source of inconvenience and can only apologise.

We then pass these savings back to you enabling a further discount, and it’s greener as there is less paper and so better for the environment. You are also fully protected by the Direct Debit guarantee.
