Hi everyone, Here is the current situation as far as I’m concerned: NOA has offered to send all the remaining issues from my subscription in a single shipment at the end. That means going 11 months without an issue. On the one hand, that’s good; on the other, I’ll really miss the monthly joy of receiving the new magazine.
Origami-jp (Tanteidan) has also become aware of the issue and is looking for a solution. I’m still missing 5 issues from Volume 37. However, with them, there has always been the option to receive all issues in a single shipment anyway. It’s not a huge deal, really, but 25 years after the digital revolution, I had imagined things would be different. Have a nice day, Stefan ________________________________ Von: Origami <[email protected]> im Auftrag von Stefan Zingrebe <[email protected]> Gesendet: Sonntag, 12.

Hello Anna! That will probably be my next problem, since I also subscribe to Tanteidan Magazine. I really ought to write to them about it in advance.

Suddenly the Austrian customs charged absurd amounts for each magazine, way more than the price of the magazine itself, so my partner and I had to cancel our subscription. I'm very unhappy about it but don't know what else to do. Anna from Vienna/Austria Am Sa., 11.

Yesterday, for the first time, the mail carrier asked for 11 euros to cover customs charges (in Germany). I refused delivery because I can’t afford that in the long run (the subscription still has two years to run). Have any of you had similar experiences recently (in Europe)? Has something changed? I haven’t contacted NOA yet, but I plan to do so. I would really appreciate any feedback. Best regards, Stefan
