My mother likes to read That's Life each week and do the puzzles. She's on an aged pension so I thought I'd give her a subscription to the magazine for Christmas.

It seems we are having some glitches with delivery - started three weeks into January (I expected it to start 1st week of Jan) arrived one week then not the next and the late one hasn't turned up yet and the next one is due to arrive.

Before I start getting cranky with the company I thought I'd see if anyone has any experience with weekly subscriptions and particularly this magazine.

I've only ever had monthly subs and they always arrive before the end of the month. Are weeklys erratic like this or are they stuffing it up?

She doesn't live in a major city/town so I thought that might be effecting it too? Although there are usually no delays when I send her mail from a city.
