wda Posted December 13, 2006 Share #1 Posted December 13, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Today I received an email promoting a subscription to LFI from Hamburg in Germany from what appears to be the LFI Newsletter. A subscripton for 8+2 issues for Euro 50 is quite good value. My present subscription expires this month and I believe that is from the actual publisher of LFI. Then in the summer I received invoice invitations from a distributor in Denmark (I think). The last UK distributor was Falsten, but they ceased dealing due to declining numbers of subscribers and tthe owner told me that she had 'sold' their subscriber list to Denmark which explains that approach. So are there two or three suppliers to the UK market? All very confusing. Has any UK member better insight into with whom we should be dealing?

Advertisement Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Hi wda, Take a look here Subscriptions to LFI International in UK. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
samwells Posted December 13, 2006 Share #2 Posted December 13, 2006 Hi David - I've subscribed to LFI via the publishers in Hamburg since 2003 - they had a good offer at the time, and I've had no problems with them. Nice mag, too, with very high production standards. There may be other suppliers in the UK, but with magazines I'm generally happier to deal direct with publishers if poss. cheers: Sam Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocker Posted December 13, 2006 Share #3 Posted December 13, 2006 David, Like Sam I also have my subscription directly with the publishers. IIRC they had a similar offer when I subscribed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted December 13, 2006 Share #4 Posted December 13, 2006 David, I too go direct to the publishers in Germany. They had this offer when I started, as they did for Keith. The service has been excellent - on one occasion an issue went adrift in the post (sadly not that rare an event with the postal service around here), I emailed them and received a replacement magazine, free of charge, within the week.

wda Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share #5 Posted December 14, 2006 John, Sam and Keith, thank you for your advice. I have traced my last invoice and it was from the publisher IDC CORPORATE PUBLISHING GMBH. So I think I will use their recent email to renew and take advantage of their current offer.

marknorton Posted December 14, 2006 Share #6 Posted December 14, 2006 I too subscribe directly from the publishers. No problems and I enjoy the magazine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhsimmonds Posted December 18, 2006 Share #7 Posted December 18, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I also have a subscription direct from the German publishers, running now for several years. I seem to remember that when I took out my first years subscription it also was a very good incentive offer...........subject to placing an annual direct debit for that and future years subscriptions! So eventually loyalty comes at a price, but I do not resent it as both content and presentation is of very high quality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share #8 Posted December 18, 2006 I too subscribe directly from the publishers. No problems and I enjoy the magazine. Mark and David, Thank you. I have booked a subscription with the publisher but I don't think it was for direct debit. We shall see. David Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
