Just got my delivery.  I didn't opt out of the covers gallery so naturally I only received it after chasing them on facebook several times and unsurprisingly I haven't received the letter about volume 2.....

They'll clearly use this as an opportunity to make everything right and bring subscribers back up to date. *Ahem*.

I've stopped worrying about being behind as well.  Contacting Hachette just seems to lead to frustration and gives them a chance to cock things up even more.

I despair whenever I have to contact Hachette.  Their customer service has to be some of the most abject and inept I've ever encountered.  Except it seems when it comes to cancellation where they're so keen they actually jump the gun!!  Such a shame, because the product (on the whole) is great.

Super rare variant alert!

Did any subscribers actually receive the Covers Special?  I was told they'd sent me a copy on 5th May but I've not received it and it's not shown up on my account.

Quoting myself...yes, I know.

Anyway, turns out 'the logistics' didn't actually get round to sending out my copy until the 15th May, so it should arrive next week.  Anyone else who's been told theirs was dispatched at the same time is probably in the same boat.

Nowt here yet, but good to hear some are getting through.  Hachette have assured me that the carrier pigeon's on its way so I live in hope I might have 17&18 by the weekend.

I had a message on friendface telling me that my special cover book has been sent and to allow 7-14 days for delivery.  It's not showing on my hachette account so I guess I'll have to wait and see, but that seems like hopeful news.

17, 18 and sketchbook for me.  No sign of the covers special.  PM sent on facebook.  Confusing response expected.

Same here.  I've sent a couple of messages via facebook asking what's going on but they've fallen into the void.

Another extension would hack me off.  Yes, there's probably some good stuff they could add but it'd just feel a bit too much like they were milking us to me.  Plus - storage space!!!!

Obviously, if they were to extend it, I'd buy it though. 

although lets be honest this ain't ending at vol 80

I'm fine if they go to 90 or possibly 95.  Any more than that and they'll start falling off the end of my shelf, so there's your cap, Hachette!

On a rare positive note, they seem to have updated my account so it now details exactly which issues and 'free' gifts have been sent out.  Hopefully, that's something they've done for everyone.

I've just been told the dispatch date for 17/18 is now 27/4. So that means they'll likely show about a week before 19 is on sale in my local newsagents.

Same info here.  They also told me the sketch book would be included in that delivery and that the covers book will be sent out separately.  Maybe they're starting to get their act together.
