Subscription rates

I was thinking about subscribing to the mag rather than trudging to tesco every month and while looking through it I noticed it was £52 in the UK but in Europe and Eire it was €128 not quite but almost double the UK price then looking at the US price of $165 which is cheaper than the Euro price the only downside to that is it might take a while longer (2 days roughly).

Where is the incentive to subscribe when I can get it in tesco for €6.40 which is still pricey but way cheaper than subscribing.

There is no incentive at that price, thats roughly 50 euros more to subscribe

Let me have your address and I will send each month for half the price!

However I MAY have taken out a couple of the golf tips.

You must be able to buy it cheaper than the price you quote. Will GM not send it to you , if not when they have all these offers available thewre is something wrong

I used to get it send as it was a xmas pressie untill i relasied how much extra it was costing plus it is always late i would see it in the news agent and it would not arrive until a week later. Plus u don't get the free gift if u are outsid the UK.

Thats the prices from the magazine!!! Look at where Michael Harris does the editors letter and all the info is at the bottom of the page.

Come on GM, something is badly wrong when it is cheaper to subscribe to the mag and live in the US!!

If you buy it from Tesco and you get clubcard vouchers you can use them to subscribe.
Mine costs me £12.50 a year - not sure what it would be over there but worth an investigation.

Hi Chris
the current subs offer for ROI is actually 96 euros

Granted that's more than if you bought each issue at tesco for 6.40 euro but postage costs for us to get the magazine out to Ireland are significantly higher than for sending to an address within the UK
hope that helps

It helps a bit thanks Mike but how is it still cheaper to live in the USA and subscribe, surely it costs more to post out to there?
