1) Magazine Magazine Ga Japan by Edita Tokyo Co Ltd. Don´t purchase subscriptions from Amazon or Magazine Express.
The following are my experiences with a subscription to Hiragana Times from Amazon.
What this page doesn´t tell you is that the Japanese magazines subscribed to on Amazon are filled by a company called Magazine Express and are shipped SEAMAIL from Japan which mean you´ll recieve every issue 8 to 10 after it´s released.
I placed my order in January and, to date, have not recieved a single issue. After several phone calls, the Magazine Express people (who fill the Amazon subscriptions) said they had to restart my subscription for the May issues which will take 8-10 weeks due to shipping issues. So after ordering in January, I will not receive a single issue of this uncancelable magazine until possibly in late July. Very poor service.
This is unacceptable for a magazine that most US Japanese bookstores (fujisan is one) can get within a week or that you can order directly from the publisher for only a few dollars more. If I had known the shipping policy I would not have ordered and the magazine supplier, Magazine Express will not cancel the subscrition.
I advise avoiding ALL Amazon magazine subsriptions due to their poorly stated policies.
**Update, I wrote this review in June. It is now July 8th and I´ve just been informed I must wait until August 15th to see if an issue arrives. I ordered the magazine on January 9th and I have had no resolution from either Magazine Express or Amazon who provides no way to contact anyone within Amazon about magazine orders. I reiterate, buying magazines from Amazon if a poor idea.¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 8-Jan-2009, , 7SB-8
