*** IMPORTANT ***
Please read this entire post BEFORE using this thread!

Are you getting a free magazine that you don't really want or it was not what you expected? Post your magazine on this thread for others who might be interested in it.

Here are some rules:

1) When the magazine has been spoken for, please update your original post to signify that. Such as:

Ladies Home Journal
Islands
The Week ... Gone

2) Everyone please try to keep posts to this thread to magazines you want to donate/trade. Not, I'll take Islands and The Week. These messages will be deleted!

3) To request the magazine being offered, Send a PM (Private Message) to the poster buy clicking on the posters User Name and selecting "Send a private message to ...". This allows the poster to see by date/time stamp who requested it first and keeps this thread to a minimum. Plus it also keeps this transaction among the poster and requester private.

4) Any personal information posted to this thread (Names, Address, etc.) will be deleted. All communication MUST be done via private messages.

5) For posters, you may want to check out the thread Checking your subscription online. Most magazines can be switched with the new name/address online.

6) You must have a magazine to give or trade to participate in this thread. You can not troll for a freebie.

--Enjoy





For trade:

Child Magazine until Nov 07 (just got the Dec issue, so I guess there's probably like 10 issues left)

Bridal Guide until S/O 2008 (Summer/October? not sure what that stands for).

I want girly magazines, fitness magazines, music magazines, um, pretty much ANYTHING. I don't have children and I don't plan on being married any time soon, haha.

PM me.

Please be aware, if you are giving away a Hearst Corporation magazine (Oprah, Good Housekeeping, Redbook, Marie Claire and many others), that ALL of your Hearst magazine subscriptions will go to the new address, not just the one you are giving away or trading. Any magazines
you subscribe to from Hearst, will ALL have the same subscription number, when you give away or trade one, you are giving away or trading all of them.

You could try contacting the publisher to see if they would switch you.

From Zinio's FAQ - http://imgs.zinio.com/faq/ipad.htm#print

Q: How can I switch my print subscription over to Zinio?

A: The publishers that partner with Zinio consider digital subscriptions as separate from print subscriptions. If your preference is for the digital version, you can contact the publisher to have them switch your subscription to digital, if they have that capability. If not, simply cancel your print subscription and purchase a new subscription through Zinio.com.

When you contact the publisher, don't mention "digital" until they locate your account. Ask to simply "verify my subscription". They'll ask for your zip code and last name. Once they've found your account they can give you details. If they can switch your account to digital, be sure to provide the SAME email address that you've used to create your Zinio account with. Future issues will be delivered digitally. Please remember that it can take up to 4 weeks for the switch to occur. If you miss any issues during that time, please contact Zinio at [email protected] to request that they be added to your account.

BTW, here's the thread with 1-800 numbers for publishers - https://slickdeals.net/f/3403898-List-of-800-numbers-for-Magazines-Customer-Service?v=1

Also, Automobile has a free Ipad app for subscribers but as you're asking about Zinio, I assume you don't have an ipad.

Does anyone have a link to combine subscriptions for Rolling Stone? (I tried the link on : Checking/Editing/Converting your subscriptions online ( 1 2 3 4 5 ) - but it is quite old and the link doesn't work.)

Also, would be willing to trade a Rolling Stone subscription for Star, People, etc. - really any kind of weekly entertainment magazine.

Thanks in advance for any help!

You can usually easily find the link for customer service at most magazine websites (it's typically at the very top or very bottom of the webpage, for Rolling Stone, it's at the bottom).

https://secure.customersvc.com/se...MSRSMAG=RS

Try to log in with one of your accounts and then contact customer service with both account numbers to have them merged. You can also call customer service at 1-800-283-1549.

This seems like the appropriate thread to ask: does anyone here hoard too many mags? I rent a room in a house and my landlord is threatening to evict me for subscribing to too many mags. No choice - Time to start combining or giving away. Would it be a bad idea to change the address on some of mags to be sent directly to a hospital?

Uhh if you rent a room I don't think the owner has a right to tell you how many magazines is too many to keep in there. But prolly a good idea to have a spring cleaning if it's that bad.

I'd donate them to a library before a hospital; do you know how much filth and germs those waiting rooms host? vomit

I get like 40-50 mags per week. Maybe I'm hoarding too much. It's mainly the bulky women's fashion and beauty mags that clog my mailbox (i get 5-6 copies of each).

In principle, i should be able to get as many mags as i want. But i have an informal rental agreement/no lease agreement. Plus my rent is dirt cheap. So i don't want to risk it over a disagreement about mags.

In the future, i'll sign up the mags to be sent directly to the hospital. Most get stolen any ways. It'll save me on gas and pain on my arthritic joints from having to donate 150 mags/week there.

Why do you have so many mags? Do you read them all?
