I have just seen that the January issue of the Crafts Beautiful should be in the shops. Publishing date was last Friday.

Has anybody actually received their subs copy? Mine is nowhere to be seen downer.

Yes, mine came about a week ago. However, I’m in a part of the country thats been pretty much unaffected by the snow. Maybe yours is caught up in a mail backlog.

About a week ago???? big surprise

I got the Make Jewellery a week after it was in the shops.The weather is, of course, impacting mail deliveries, but I got quite a few Crafts Beautiful issues just on the day when they turned up in the shops. I’m really not happy with my subscription at the moment. And what is bugging me most is that I PM’d Andrea regarding the Make Jewellery issue and never even got a reply.

As supermarkets around us are no longer stocking craft magazines and not all magazines are available at newsagents, I can never see the Make Jewellery anywhere, so need to subscribe. But I think I will go back to buying the Crafts Beautiful locally when my subscription is up. It has just become such a pain.

I am also a subscriber and I dont have my copy yet also (mail has been today) but I think there is quite a mail backlog as I am waiting on things posted over 10 days ago.

sorry some of you have not yet received your copy. completely understand, as has been an issue for a while but, what with this weather we have had has actually backlogged so much more than we all knew. even couriers are bad atm and backlogged too.  i received something yesterday that was posted 2nd december too.

in all due course i find that not being a subscriber is all the more better, as can get it if it loks good and get it there and then.

hope you all receive very soon girlz x

Our postie neighbour reckons that even with extra staff, they are struggling to get through the backlog caused by the weather, esp. in some areas like ours.

I can imagine debbie, it is a shame but, not much else they can do.

We had a delivery from UPS today and he was saying that they had 15 trucks delivering backlog and that we will receive the 2nd half of our delivery tonmorrow because they are getting to as many places as poss with deliveries. Its crazy but, there we go.

My copy has still not arrived - and the next cold wave with more snow is forecasted from Thursday on, so things will probably even get worse again. downer

Post came just now, still now magazine, but they manage to get all the junk mail delivered.  Waiting on quite a few packages but nothing seems to be getting delivered.

We got quite a bit of mail today, so that there is only one of our online orders plus one for a CD set that we placed only yesterday are outstanding. But there is still no sign of the Crafts Beautiful January issue - and it was published a week ago ...

But a couple of days ago a letter regarding the renewal of my CB subscription managed to get through without problems. Well, that’s going into the shredder now.

I still havent got my copy either, and I am waiting on something from Create and Craft that I ordered over 2 weeks ago.  I went down to my local delivery depot but they said there is nothing waiting for me, I keep seeing the magazine in my local coop on the shelf and have thought about buying it but didnt, I will just have to wait on Royal Mail delivering eventually.  (although it is looking like it could be next year rather than this one now)
