Jewelry Artist Magazine
Hi folks,
I'm not sure how many people subscribe to this news group or if there are any UK folks in the group, but if there are, does anyone else in the UK subscribe to Jewelry Artist magazine? If so, do you have issues constantly going missing in the post or is it just me? I paid for a two year subscription near the end of 2007 and eventually I received my first copy of the magazine (January 2008 issue). It arrived in a brown envelope. I then received my February issue in due course - this time in a transparent cover, but the piece of paper with my address on was obscuring the fact that it was a jewellery magazine. My March issue arrived, also in a transparent cover but this time the front cover of the magazine, clearly titled "Jewelry Artist" was in full view. I was surprised it hadn't gone missing. Nothing arrived in the next couple of months so I contacted the publishing company. They apologised and sent replacement copies of April and May - in a brown envelope so the contents were anonymous and arrived safely. They assured me that I should receive my June issue in due course. Guess what? It NEVER arrived - nor has the July issue. I have emailed them about this and am waiting for a reply. I'm sure they will ensure replacements and my grievance is not with the folks at Jewelry Artist magazine. My magazines are clearly being filched by some postal worker somewhere along the lines, who fancies the look of the attractive jewellery magazines and it is NOT the fault of the publishing company - I'm not blaming them at all. My query has to do with me wondering whether the fact that they are sending them in transparent polythene covers is the reason for them going missing, because the contents are clearly visible. Does anyone else in the UK have this same problem? When they're sent in a brown paper envelope, they arrive without problem. Any enlightenment on this would be much appreciated. I'm getting quite frustrated by the whole experience. I look forward to receiving my magazines each month, reading the articles and generally looking at the eye candy others have made and then get frankly upset when they don't appear - especially when the good folks on the Orchid forum mention such and such in the latest issue, etc, etc, and I'm not in a position to appreciate it. Sorry, I'm having a rant. Someone shut me up! ;-) Helen Hill UK http://www.hillsgems.co.uk http://www.helensgems.etsy.com |

I have been waiting for about 5 days now but the shipping times are 10-19 days. As soon as I get them I will let you know. I have not seen you on that forum for a long time now and I was wondering where you are? How did it go with the collection that you got? Here is the link to the beads again http://www.liangdianup.com/beadscrafts_1.htm and here is the link to the Swarovski beads http://www.liangdianup.com/inventory/900020.htm if those links don't work then you can goto www.lducompany.com and click on the beads picture, that should take you right there. I hope you see this message and get back to me cause I miss talking to you
