Yes. Subscribers have a tough time getting the magazine. The magazine reaches around 14th of each month, which is very frustrating considering it is available in stands before the month begins!

I dint bother to subscribe after my subscription ended in March 2005 because I was getting my issue late and subscribers do not get the DVD case and Inlay Card....its in a small paper cover

Oh, I am sure they don't spend fifteen days trying to find the homes of other subscribers each month. :lol:

J/k. No offense. :)

I first used to like Digit a lot and had almost decided to go for a Mega 3 year subscription. But the recent Digit issues are boring with nothing interesting worth reading. Plus Fast Track is also not worth reading because of boring topics. Thank god i didn't subscribe.

YA , Receiving digit in second or third week is very frustrating ..


dvd case not in subscriber issue bcoz we get discounts on our copies

so.........

discount = no dvd cases

means no discount

that's why I renewed my subscription only for year .

gave one more chance to digit .

you guys realize it isnt digit's fault right? it is the courier company who delivers the issues.

Why no DVD cases? Why did I get my march issue in 2nd week of April and that too two of them? I would be happy with a single copy sent on time.

Why do you want a bulky DVD case? l like the paper ones- they take a lot less space to store. Plus digit has responded to these complaints; i think they have changed courier companies, infact i remember reading in a digit mag that the reason y street vendors get it quickly is that digit gives its subscription copies to the courier companies which take thier own sweet time delivering it to the houses whereas vendors will get it directly from thier distributor

so u people get frustated on getting the mag in third week
but think of the person who gets the mag when the next mag is out & every one finished it
& that too by simple book post but the charges were taken to send the digit through courier
that is me
i too m waiting the end of my subscription n i wont ever subscribe to digit ever again

yups , it aint worth it .

i was a subscriber 2 years ago , but from the time they changed format(and many editors) in august 0 the mag has gone totallly crap.

now , i only subscribe to CHIP(although i won't renew it) and that too because of the good style in which the articles are written , which i think digit lacks.

This matter has come up in the forum again and again over the years. I'm totally at a loss to understand why Digit has not rectified it.

I've been subscribing long before they changed the name to Digit. I keep subscribing only because the nearest newsstand is over 1 km away and I don't want to have to go there at the beginning of each month.

Often, it is actually embarrassing to listen to newsstand buyers talk about the contents of an issue long before we, the subscribers, have even seen our copy.

I don't think the couriers are to blame. I can't believe that expensive couriers like Blue Dart would be so inefficient all the time. The only thing I can think of is that, for reasons unknown to us, Jasubhai must be deliberately delaying the despatch of sunscriber copies. Otherwise, why don't they simply send subscriber copies the same way they send newsstand copies ?
