Summary: 4 or 5 star magazine, 2 star subscription

Condé Nast deserves zero stars for beginning my subscription to two of their magazines with outdated material.

I ordered on Aug. 4 with the understanding the first issues, September's fall fashion issues, would take "4 to 6 weeks" for delivery-- that would place it sometime between Sep 1 and Sep 15. Sep 2, I received Aug & Sep Vogue and October of the other magazine. I was disappointed for a. not getting the fall fashion issue of the one mag and b. getting an expired Vogue pre-dating my subscription period, shorting me one issue at the end of my subscription. Not sure if palming off expired issues is an intended cost cutting strategy or just an oversight, but I loath when companies' default position is to screw over the customer, placing the onus upon customers to notice the error and decide whether it is worth rectifying, and waste their time fixing it.

But, when I called CN's toll free CS number the agent quickly and courteously amended my account for Vogue and set the other mag to ship the Sep issue. YAY! 5 stars for excellent customer service!

As far as the magazine itself, I quite enjoy sailing through the pages to see Vogue's take on the current styles in fashion, books, music, lifestyle, etc. While there seems to be a certain predictability and cliqueishness in the designers they advocate, I very much enjoy Vogue's presentation of the garments and the overall art direction. I wish there was a better content-to-advertising ratio, though.

Summary: AMAZING.

I'm a thirteen year old boy who's life revolves around fashion. I have tons and tons of magazine subscriptions, maybe ten? But vogue is probably my favorite. Everyone thinks it's just a fashion magazine, but it is so much more. It has everything someone needs, adult or teen. The fashion sections are absolutely fantastic. A lot of people want to see clothes that they cant afford in a magazine, it makes them feel good. And the vogue articles are very brilliant. I highly recommend 110/100.

Summary: Great value, fast processing

I was about to skip renewing Vogue b/c all the offers I got were for $20+/year. Then it dawned on me to check Amazon, and holey moley I found it for $15/year! Awesome! I had no idea this service existed, and now I'm so glad I do. My purchase was processed quickly and I received my first issue (Sept.) last week. Thanks, Amazon!

Summary: NYgirl

My order was placed July 13th....I rcv'd the "July" issue a couple of days ago.....so I wonder if I'll get the August issue-b/c it's already 8/19/10.....and I only got the July issue. I was thinking my 1st issue would be the Sept. issue since it can take 6-10 weeks for the 1st issue to arrive. The first issue usually comes in a plastic cover.....mine didn't have one so I guess they stopped the plastic covers! I called vogue CS-they can't send me the Aug. issue...and they don't know if I'm going to get it-so they just extended my sub. 2 months.

Summary: very good considering price..:D

despite what many people say about Amazon's magazine subscriptions, I like amazon's. It arrived a month later I ordered just like most magazine subscriptions. I was a bit annoyed by the fact that the magazine wasn't covered/packed with plastic bag or something like that (National geography alwasys puts their little magazine in the plastic bag! :D). but other than that no problem at all! and magazine itself is good...
