How long does delivery typically take for print subscriptions?

Asked 4 months ago
The delivery time for print subscriptions to The Guardian can vary based on several factors, such as the subscriber's location and the postal service used. Typically, subscribers in the United Kingdom can expect their first issue to arrive within one to three weeks after placing their order. For international subscribers, delivery may take longer, often ranging from two to six weeks, depending on the destination country and local postal services. Once the initial subscription is fulfilled, regular issues should arrive on scheduled days as per the subscription plan. It is always a good idea for subscribers to check the current web page for any updates or information specific to delivery times and service interruptions, as these can sometimes affect delivery.
