How
long does it take to receive my first issue of Auto Trim & Restyling News
Magazine?
Your first issue should arrive within 6 to 10 weeks.
Once you've placed an order, it takes one to two weeks
for your subscription to be received and added to
the subscriber file. Your subscription is then added
to the magazine's next production cycle and shipped
via periodicals class mail. The current production
issue is usually one to two months from the current
month. For example, if your new subscription was ordered
and received in November, and the December issue has
already shipped, your order is added to the January
mailing.
If you have
not received your subscription within the expected time frame, please
click
here to email us. Rest assured, your subscription starts when
you receive your first unit--not when you place your order. If you
subscribed for 12 issues, you will receive all 12.

My
subscription doesn't expire for six months; why am
I already getting renewal notices?
Two reasons: we want to ensure there's no interruption
in your service so we mail you an early reminder.
Secondly, if we know early that you will be extending
your subscription we don't have to send out multiple
renewal notices, which saves us money and allows us
to keep our subscription rates as low as possible.
