so far in 2021 already three issues of MBY have not arrived on my doormat. I have of course contacted the helpdesk; they say there are all kinds of disruptions with mail deliveries. Anyone else (outside UK) have had issues? I am in The Netherlands.
Thanks.
 
If you have an ipad - subscribe to the READLY app. The UK cost is £7.99 per month, and for that you get access to hundreds of digital magazines including MBY and PBO, and all back issues too.
Thanks. I have the magazine on the app as well, but I quite like to have the paper version (as long as it will be around).
 
Just received July. Still waiting for May and June. As it was a Xmas gift I don’t have any order details.

absolute joke of a subscription service
 
It's a constant problem here in Belgium, partly the BPost partly other factors, finally got a bill through for June's factoring charges for a property in Scotland which was due to be paid at the end of June, been happening like that for the past 8 months, I have asked for them to email the invoices, but no they are paper based, they know my payments are going to be at the pace of the mail and they take that into account now.

BPost has been a problem here, delivering to the wrong address not delivering etc. etc. I'm not the only one complaining about it either and we have formally complained about it too.
Then there is now import duties, administration costs, and VAT to be added and BPost don't waive the charges +VAT even if it is below the threshold for tax, UPS, DHL, and Fedx all charge, so we use PostNL which don't add the extra charges.

Interesting. I will now have the magazine delivered to an address in a different town to “test” if it is a local issue or not. In any case you would expect that Future Publishing sorts out the requirements for sending magazines abroad post Brexit. MBY was always called Europe’s premier motorboating magazine after all…
