Overseas (non-US) subscriptions
Posted by J-Hulk on Monday, September 29, 2003 11:37 AM
Not sure if this is the place for such a question (this is neither a suggestion nor feedback!), but here goes:

I've been a subscriber to FSM since 1990, but have been living in Japan since 1993. Dear ol' Mom has been kind enough to send me my FSM each month (the woman is a saint!), but I wonder if it's possible to have it sent directly to me here in Japan? I recall seeing something about "overseas subscriptions" somewhere, and I also recall the subscrition rates were more than double domestic rates (to cover shipping, of course).
Any information concerning international subscriptions would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, many of the local hobby shops here carry FSM, where the average price is 1,900 yen ($16 US!!!)!

We certainly do ship FSM all over the world, so I'm sure you can have your copy sent directly to you in Japan. The foreign subscription price is $50/year. Add another $45 if you want the issue air mailed.

If Mom is sending your FSM along with other stuff (cookies perhaps?), it's probably cheaper--though not as timely--to continue to do it that way.

Our customer service folks (customerservice@kalmbach.com) can probably give you more info on how long it takes to ship copies of the magazine to Japan, etc.

Thanks for the reply, Lawrence. Didn't see it for almost 2 weeks!

Yikes, 95 bucks for timely FSM! I dearly love the mag, but...
I reckon I'll just keep having dear ol' mom send it over with a box of Cap'n Crunch and new socks!

Thanks again.
