      Me too, 2 times subscribed now, I don't care anymore but at least they would have sent an email so as I would know I won't be charged once or twice with my credit card details, what email address should I contact them?

    yeah it is really poor how long it takes for them to send a confirmation email

  • nubzy on 20/06/2014 - 12:46

    Just received confirmation my account is now active :)

    • koozzz on 20/06/2014 - 12:48

      Sigh…I don't even know whether I should subscribe again or not in case the first time didn't go through…

  • azm on 20/06/2014 - 12:55

    Thanks OP. I just received my email that my account is active.

  • azm on 20/06/2014 - 13:04

    Unfortunately the gift "Executive Backpack" is out of stock (Ozbargained?)

    ============== dupe as earlier post mentioned about out of stock backpack

  • nubzy on 20/06/2014 - 13:05

    It let me download the June 23 2014 issue on my iPad for free. Have to pay for any earlier mags.

    Just got my email confirmation. I'm so glad I've had my oven pre-heated to 180 degrees for the past 72 hours so now I can defrost my 16 credit cards in it, and I can now go unlock my secret safe behind my picasso painting, and my wife can switch my life support back on. What a relief!

    Looked like such a scam when we all bothered to check who registered the website before having hissy fits.

  • besmirched on 20/06/2014 - 14:05

    Well I cancelled my card and still got the confirmation email and have access to the online stuff. I checked my cancelled credit card for any transactions and none were made after cancelling. I think I'm more worried now than before cancelling. :P

    • webtherapist on 20/06/2014 - 15:23

      U will since they say the nearest two issues still being sent out after your cancellation, let's hope it is not what I think

  • Narendra on 23/06/2014 - 11:18

    Placed order on 18 June. Still have not got confirmation, should I be worried.

    • King Steuart on 23/06/2014 - 11:22

      Maybe give them a call or check your spam folder

  • besmirched on 23/06/2014 - 14:41

    I cancelled my card not long after ordering, two days later get a confirmation order so I cancelled the subscription, today I get an email asking "Please kindly advise by return details of your enquiry for us to serve you." I'm going have a guess and say that it will be difficult to unsubscribe. good luck bargainerers.

  • nubzy on 23/06/2014 - 14:48

    I am not going to cancel it now, hopefully they will send renewal notice before 27 issues is up and will be able to cancel then.

  • exnihilo on 25/06/2014 - 00:54

    Thx:), just ordered

      thanks fo rreminding me to do that.

  • fransisqo on 27/06/2014 - 23:16

    Has anyone received their free bag or alternative gift yet?

    • nubzy on 27/06/2014 - 23:18

      nope, think they will take their time sending that. hopefully get first magazine soon.

    Does a double issue count as two issues???

    • JordanM on 02/07/2014 - 00:45

      Yes it does

      "TIME publishes six double issues. Each counts as two of 52 issues in an annual subscription. TIME may also publish occasional extra issues."

    Just letting you know I recieved the first printed issue today. thanks

  • nubzy on 30/06/2014 - 16:18

    received a double issue today as well

  • cloudie9 on 03/07/2014 - 15:25

    Got my first issue too. But still no sight of the replacement gifts…

  • freo on 03/07/2014 - 16:34

    Got mine too. Thanks all the posters here for the details and research :)
    Couldn't care less about the "free gift". The Mens and Ladies gold watch set I once received with a Time magazine subscription was disgustingly cheap and tacky, worth maybe $5 at a discount store.

    • nubzy on 03/07/2014 - 18:37

      yes, don't want junky watches. laptop bag should be pretty decent if the image of the executive backpack is anything to go by.

  • fransisqo on 03/07/2014 - 18:14

    I followed up on the free gift. Looks like we'll be getting a laptop bag by end of July.

    After a Google search, this is what the (ugly) laptop bag may look like:

    Here is the reply email I received from them:

    Dear Mr XXXXX,

    Customer Number: XXXXX

    Thank you for contacting TIME South Pacific Customer Service.

    It is with regret we inform you that due to overwhelming demand, we are permanently out of stock of the executive backpack. Thus, we do not have any information about a shipment of new stock for this gift in the near future.

    Our marketing department has therefore arranged to provide a substitute gift, the free laptop bag, of comparable value for affected subscribers.

    Meanwhile, we are pleased to confirm that the free gift is now in our delivery system. It takes approximately 4-6 weeks from the day of receiving the full payment.

    Should the free gift do not reach you by end of July, kindly contact us anytime by quoting the 9-digit customer number. Or you may like to manage your subscription account online at www.timesouthpacific.com/customerservice.

    Thank you for your kind understanding and please accept our apologies for the disappointment caused. We hope you will enjoy reading our magazine.

    Yours Sincerely,
    Wing Sit
    Customer Services Department

    • Dave1988 on 07/07/2014 - 10:56

      thanks ….at least we know that they will send a gift …

  • Look43Bs on 05/07/2014 - 12:09

        • cloudie9 on 17/07/2014 - 12:17
