Please understand that when you PRE-ORDER a magazine that the magazine has NOT been designed.

PRE-ORDER means BEFORE IT IS READY.

Magazines are NOT ready to ship the month you order them. 

Productions process

  1. The words have to be edited.
  2. The page has to be designed by our assistant designer.
  3. The page has to be approved by our lead designer.
  4. The page has to be approved by each artist in the magazine.
  5. The magazine has to be sent to print which takes up to 10 days. 
  6. The magazine then takes 30 - 45 days to reach us upon completion of print.
  7. The magazine then has to be packaged when they arrive to us.
  8. Then finally the magazine still has to be shipped to you which takes 3-7 days depending on your location. 

This is a 120+ day process from the day the magazine submissions close.

This is why we take PRE-ORDERS.

You can click the issue that you purchased below to see the updated production timeline for the issue that you are in.
