Script Magazine -- When will I receive my magazines?
|
back to top of page |
| |
|
Script
magazine is a bi-monthly publication published six times a
year. Depending on when in the publication schedule you place
your order, it may take a couple of weeks for your subscription to be
received. As a general rule, subscriptions take 4 to 8 weeks to start.
We do make secondary mailings of the current issue for those customers
who subscribe early in the publication schedule so that your wait time
is reduced. Your subscription starts when you receive your first
magazine, not when you place the order. Rest assured that these time
frames are the industry standard and you will receive your new
magazines as soon as possible.

Script Magazine -- Can I cancel my subscription?
|
back to top of page |
| |
If you need to cancel your subscription, please send an email to subscribe@finaldraft.com.
We will promptly stop
your service and issue a refund for any unmailed copies.
If you canceled your subscription, but are still receiving bills,
please note that it takes a few days for a cancellation to become
effective. Therefore, if you receive any invoices after you have
canceled, please ignore them. If you ordered through an agent (e.g.
Amazon.com), you should also check with that agent to ensure that your
cancellation request was received and processed.
We calculate the remaining value of all your unmailed copies based on
the yearly subscription price. We will then credit that amount to the
credit card used with your order/renewal or issue a check for the
refund amount.
Example: You have ordered a subscription at $24.95 for 6 issues. After
receiving your fourth issue you decide to cancel. You'll be credited
$16.65.
