http://www.imsnews.com/Anyone here using these guys to get magazines? What's been your experience with them?
I stumbled across an absolutely awesome guitar magazine at Barnes & Noble in August, called
Guitar Techniques. Unlike most guitar rags, it's NOT chock-full of amp, pedal and guitar full page ads. It's full of actual content. Caters to blues, classical, jazz, folk, rock and anything else... in each issue. Comes with a DVD often with additional content. Great lessons.
Only problem is the sticker price: $15.99 for one issue on the newsstand.
I bought the August issue and I really liked it, so I subscribed on August 26th. IMS was the vendor through whom I subscribed, because it's a Brit magazine rather than domestic. IMS had the best price I could find.
I paid $118 for a 12 month subscription. Painful, but less than $16+tax for each one when bought off the rack.
Problem is, it's now October 8th. I haven't received my September issue yet.
I went and logged on to the IMS customer portal and they show my subscription ending on October of 2014, so maybe I missed the September cutoff for new customers, but I'm a bit miffed that I laid out $100 for a mag subscription and didn't get the next month's edition.
