Price increase for MEW and ME

[David Clark 13Participant @davidclark13]

Hi There

Model Engineer will be increasing its cover price to £3.20 from issue 4424.

Model Engineers’ Workshop will be increasing its cover price to £4.20 from issue 189.

 

Subscriptions are not affected yet, I don’t know if or when they will go up.

You can renew your subscription early and it will be added to the existing subscription.

Two year subscriptions are available at a reduced rate for UK subscribers.

Now is the time to get a subscription before they rise in price as well.

 

Model Engineer works out at £2.12 per issue and MEW is £3.23 (both prices are for direct debit subscriptions).

The thing about direct debit is that if we want to increase the price, we have to write and tell you. We are unlikely to do this as we would not want to risk losing you as a subscriber so if you subscribe by direct debit, the price is unlikely to go up in the forseeable future.

 

regards David

Hi David,

As you mentioned subscriptions in your post perhaps you can answer a question. I have just this morning received the latest MEW, March 2012 issue #187, all fine so far but the wrapper says MEW188. The question is, does my subscription run out when MHS thinks it does or does it run out when the people who send it out thinks it does?

Hi There

You get 12 months, 13 issues if you have a one year subscription.

Chris, you beat me to it.

I just came on here to ask the same question, my wrapper says 188 as well.

can we assume this is a printers error?

Hi David,

That I know but what about the number difference between your lot and the mailing dept?

[David Clark 13Participant @davidclark13]

Hi There

The number difference is because a plans special was introduced into the sequence about 5 years ago.

This had the effect of increasing the number on the bag by one.

Damn nuisance but nothing I can do about it.

David,

 

Will the Digital Subscription be going up as well?

(If so can we renew that early as well ?)

Hi There

I don’t know if it will be going up.

Probably not but I don’t know for sure.

Hi David,

Me again, my subscription runs out with issue 188, this is why I require to know if I will receive that issue or whether the subs dept think it has already been sent.

I really hope that there will be £4.20 worth of articles in MEW from the price increase,the last couple of issues have left me wanting.

Hi Chris

Another related question.

 

How can I find out or check when my 2 year subscription expires? I have forgotten when I took it out and cannot even remember how I paid.

 

I have not done a thorough search on this before asking so I apologise in advance for being lazy.

Can understand printed issues having a price increase due to paper, printing costs, postage etc but surely 1 and 0’s still cost the same ?

[SteambuffParticipant @steambuff]

The people that upload it (often late) still need paying, web services etc need to be paid.

 

Also the Editors big pay rises and bonus’s need to be funded from somewhere

Ones are pretty stable but the price of zeros has skyrocketed lately due to the US shortage:

Hi Steambuff

Can you tell me where to collect my bonuses and pay rise?

They would be very useful.

regards David

 

[BazyleParticipant @bazyle]

David, you’re doing a great job. You can have half my pay rise this year.

No shortage of zeros in my Company, it’s the £ signs that have gone missing.

[David Clark 13Participant @davidclark13]

Hi Chris Stephens.

Your subscription runs out with the April issue.

The last one you will receive will be issue 188.

This should tie in with your renewal.

regards David

 

 

[David Clark 13Participant @davidclark13]

Hi Ian P

You have a one year subscription that runs out in October but it will automatically renew as you are a direct debit subscriber.

If you think you have had two year’s money taken then please contact me.

 

regards David

 

 

[chris stephensParticipant @chrisstephens63393]

Hi David,

Thanks for that, saves me finish typing the E-mail I was penning.

Does that include the extra issue promised because I renewed late last time and missed an issue?
