About three years ago I signed up for a sub. Well, after almost six months my first issue finally arrived after I complained a lot. Then another bizarre 6-month gap--I missed one issue that I had seen at St. Mark's Bookstore. They eventually sent me both the back issue and my current one in a hand-pack envelope, not with my sub sticker. Then I finally got my "final" issue and a beg letter to renew. I didn't. I kept receiving sporadic issues in the mail for two more years, with no apparent reasoning as to which particular issue I'd be blessed with. They also totally ignored the East Coast audience-wise, which is moronic if you're trying to market to well-heeled younguns. RE WineX magazine–they also did zero service RE their subscriptions.
