Last year , I purchased a years subscription for my son for the economist. When he moved I notified amazon about his change of address. Was informed that it takes 6-8 weeks to change the address on a weekly magazine . I then tried to renew the subscription for another year. Technically this would be December of 2013. However when my son finally got the economist ,the label says the subscription ends in August. Now he will have missed out on 8 weeks of the magazine plus he will have lost 3 more months of his renewal. I would recommend getting subscription from another magazine dealer
