[David Clark 13Participant @davidclark13]

Hi Martin

The next page gives you the option to add the code and the one after that mentions the gift.

Make sur it does for you.

The source code is where you enter x228, on the next page the subscription drop down box shows two options, quarterly by DD with drill chuck and arbor or annual with drill chuck and arbor.

you can't get to this page if you don't enter anything in the source code box.

David, to answer your question ……..

My subscription finished at the end of December, so the last issue of MEW that I was due to receive was the December issue, which arrived yesterday by post. I renewed my subscription two days prior to that and successfully used the code that you supplied. You'll hear if the chuck doesn't arrive!

@DC1/HW…subscribed. Thanks.

[MetalmuncherParticipant @metalmuncher]

I got a renewal notice in the post and I renewed online nowhere was i prompted to enter a code for a free gift. I renewed for two years as it was cheaper that way. Its a shame that loyal readers don't qualify for a gift without having to play the system.

Renewed mine today now we `ll wait & see if it arrives

[David TaylorParticipant @davidtaylor63402]

Thanks for working on a gift for us overseas readers, much appreciated.

I probably would have re-subscribed anyway but the drill attachment made me even more glad to do so. I hope I there is still stock.

I was going to buy one of these soon so good timing for me.

Regards,

David.

Hi David

I will try and check.

Probably to early to get figures.

[David Clark 13Participant @davidclark13]

Hi There

Too soon to get any figures.

I should know late next week with a bit of luck.

[Chris ParsonsParticipant @chrisparsons64193]

I went for the subscription the day the code was posted – but have heard (and received) nothing so far?

Would have thought I would at least have had the magazine, could someone check to see if I am 'on the list'?

Is this possible, David?

Thanks

Hi Chris

The first magazine you are likely to receive will be 212.

211 was already posted when the code was made active.

[clivelParticipant @clivel]

When subscribing last week, I was given the choice of which issue to start the subscription with, the earliest being issue 211, Jan 2014. To be posted mid December.

[Chris ParsonsParticipant @chrisparsons64193]

Thanks very much, I managed to get through to subscription services and they also told me Jan 2014 – sent around mid December – according to their web page

212

JAN 2014 ISS 211

Chris,

The confusion was probably caused by the fact the mailing envelopes are numbered one higher than the magazine inside.

This dates back a while; to when they sent out an un-numbered "special" and now they can't get the numbers back in phase.

[Peter EParticipant @petere]

Question to DC1; How much tolerance before/after the subscription offer has been published is there? I wonder if it would be a case to ask since I renewed less than a month before the offer was published?

[David Clark 13Participant @davidclark13]

Hi Peter E

Sorry, if you do not quote the code you do not get the gift.

Nothing I can do about that.

However, if you extend your subscription for another year and quote the code, you can get the gift but you must quote the code.

Mine arrived too but its got bit of wobble!

I've not drilled any holes yet and I don't know what its runout specification is, so how useful it will prove to be is open for debate.

Ian P

[HowiParticipant @howi]

Thought I had better check mine, mine has pronounced wobble too. Measured runout on jt0 spindle and got 0.35mm – totally unacceptable. I think the chocolate nut and bolt on another thread would have more uses, at least I could eat it!!!

I feel we have been duped.

Anyone care to comment?

[Gray62Participant @gray62]

Received mine yesterday, apart from a tiny burr on the spring groove which was causing some binding at the start of travel (stoned it off and all good now), there is no discernable runout on this one.

Suggest you guys talk to MHS (or talk nicely to Ketan at Arc) MHS should replace any faulty items.

Freebie arrived yesterday looks good

no issues here

Hi David

In answer to my own question (and subsequent reading in the forum) yes cancel the current DD's claim the gifts renew DD's over the phone dead easy. Did n't realise I could set up the DD at the same time until told by the receptionist simple (I assumed it'd be a year subscription). However it would have been more simple to send me the gifts and ask me for the difference in subscription rates if I wanted them. I have asked for this to be passed on upwards as a suggestion. I assume that most people would be like me wanting the security of the magazines continuing and getting my magazines if they already pay by DD and so would be likely to be happy to have a short cut to getting the gifts (if they wanted them!)

PS would prefer a land line I did not have to pay for not 0844 doesn't have to be 0800 I already (like most) have free landline calls.

regards

Ian

[David Clark 13Participant @davidclark13]

Hi Ian

Getting the free gift for renewing subscriptions is bending the rules.

Best not to rock the boat.

I can't do nothing about 0844 numbers.

regards David

[John HinkleyParticipant @johnhinkley26699]

My gift was waiting for me on my return from the UK on Friday last. First impressions are very favourable. I haven't used it yet but I see no reason to think it will be anything other than satisfactory.
