Can't find hard copies
|
Hello
I regularly purchase the WU mag but i've changed locations for work and can't seem to find it anywhere apart from at my last newsagents. It's a great read on the train and on lunch breaks...don't have much time at home. Do you only have select outlets or are you moving away from the distrbution of hard copies to focus on the electronic format?
I think you guys are doing a fantastic job and i find the mag extremely helpful especially for us everyday people who might not be so clued up.

Have you thought of a subscription? I prefer this way and it's delivered to your home before the magazine is in the shops. Click here

Subs can take 3-6 weeks to get up and running, in the meantime you can check who stocks locally here. Web User should be available from all major newsstands, and 'gettable' from all independents who request it (via their news trade supplier) on a customer's behalf.

You're welcome.
As Hello_There says, subs are very convenient, and good value for the regular reader too!

I can understand the 'absence' of WebUser in a number of outlets for the regular casual reader.
Often it is available but finding is the problem, one so called 'good newsagent' shop near me will regularily have it at the back of the ground floor shelf of four. That's on day of issue not 5 days later, never applies to CA though, this has pride of place at eye level.
Only last week looking in an independant's, the assistant asked what I was looking for. "WebUser - it's due out today." - "We don't get that anymore, only CA."
Even Asda, not available 10 a.m. same day, apparently the guy who restocks the magazine shelves had been sent on another job. Can't argue that one.
My own local newsagent, it was always a hit and miss affair, now WU is never available.
No argument against subscription, just old fashioned, a bit of fresh air and exercise along with no objection to paying a couple of quid for this mag suits me.
