FAQ

What do I get with an online subscription?

You get the same articles that are available in our printed magazine. The articles for the current issue are posted on the same day the new printed issue is shipped, usually on the 27th day of the previous month.

In addition, online subscribers can read any back issues we have available on the site. We currently have issues available online back to December 1999.

If you already have a print subscription and you would like to add online access, give us a call at 831 479-1500.

How long do I have to wait for my first issue?

When will each subsequent issue arrive?

We try to time our mailings so that US subscribers will receive the monthly issue prior to the 10th of the month. Subscribers in Canada and other countries should receive the monthly issue by the 14th of the month.

I put in a forwarding order with the Postal Service when I moved. How come I'm not receiving my magazine?

The Postal Service will not forward magazines. They tear off the cover and send it back to let us know you have moved, then throw away the remainder of your magazine! You can log in to your account and change your address, send us a message or give us a call to get your address changed.

Subscription articles—those available to online subscribers only. You may choose a print subscription, online subscription, or both when you sign up.

My issue always seems to arrive late. What can I do?

Tell your local Post Office you would like to make a complaint and request a Publication Watch. The Postal Service will provide you with a form to set up tracking for a subsequent issue, which will help them determine where the delay is in their system.

Why has my online expiration date been changed?

If you signed up for both the online and print versions, both versions will be set to expire on the same date.
