When can I expect to receive the first issue of a subscription?
Usually, your first magazine will start arriving within six to ten weeks after we receive your paid order, but it does depend on the frequency of the journal you have chosen and what part of the world it is being shipped to.
- If the publication is a weekly, you should start to receive your first issue in approximately four to six weeks;
- Bi-weeklies and monthlies take approximately six to ten weeks to start;
- If the magazine publishes bi-monthly or quarterly, receipt of your first issue may take as long as ten to twelve weeks to start;
Please be assured that these are standard industry lead times, although it can vary from publisher to publisher. The actual delivery date of your first issue will depend on when the next issue is scheduled to be released by the publisher and how frequently the magazine you have ordered is published, although our system does allow the fastest processing possible.
How renewals take place within your services?
We automatically take action to renew every subscription that has not been cancelled on schedule by sending you a request for each single journal 4 months before the subscription is due to expire. If you wish to cancel an existing subscription you need to give written notice at least 3 months before the expiry date of the subscription.
We supply back issues of Iranian serial publications all (subject to main publishers availabilities). We can help you fill gaps in your holdings and supply some special requests for a surprisingly affordable price. Normal back issue price is obtained by dividing [subscription rate] by [frequency minus 1] except for annual serials.
Our computerised system facilitates and accelerates the claiming procedure immensely. When we receive a claim from you, we check it against our dispatch information. If the claimed issue is overdue, we make arrangement for a replacement free of charge. If the issue was only recently supplied, we will request that you check again before we initiate replacement procedures. We are committed to resolving all claims to the complete satisfaction of our customers.
All orders are fully cancelable as long as the cancel request is received within 48 hours of the time the order is placed. After that, in most cases cancellations will not be accepted as all orders are pre-paid to the main publishers and processed promptly so as to ensure that the subscription begins as quickly as possible. No refunds will be made after the first issue of the journal for the year has been despatched.

By subscribing to e-journals, what will we get access to?
By subscribing at our digital rate you will get electronic access only to the issues within your current and all previous orders.
