I think AJ has great content and the articles are always very informative. However, the printed magazines seem to be delayed in their arrival. For example, today is 05/06/2018 and I still haven't received the issue from 24/05/2018 :(

Although useful, its expensive for a small practice to be able to justify

I have yet to receive any printed copies of my subscription and although customer service has responded to my email they have taken their time. I also dont have any confirmation that the journals have been sent and lost in transit. I hope this is sorted out soon.

Whilst the content is generally good, my problem has been with the delivery of my paper copy of the AJ. My first issue arrived a week late and the second issue, due three days ago, has yet to arrive. When I raised this issue, I was told that late or even non-delivery were not grounds for a discounted price. If this poor service continues I will not renew my subscription.

The subscription did not go through after payment. Had to make several phone calls to both subscriptions and online subscriptions to clarify email addresses. After confirming that the email address associated with the account had been amended (it couldn't be changed online despite several attempts), we are still receiving correspondence from the AJ (such as the request to fill out this survey) to the previous email address. I would recommend finding a workable way of updating your records.

Such a shame that so called reputable companies cannot articulate properly their media output as in the recent posting of the redevelopment of the Broadgate building by calling it PoMo, the wording is Post Modern not a shortening or a hip abbreviation to be seen as trendy.

Very disappointed in the process of receiving my subscription and the added expense of time wasted trying to rectify the issue.

I have a subscription but it doesn’t seem to allow me to read the AJ on an IPad? The IPad has a web browser; just like a computer. This seems a disingenuous way of differentiating access to the Journal. I did not subscribe to IPad only, so why am I being locked out of access to the IPad version?

Hi Paul, thank you for your feedback. I can confirm that there is no distinction between online and iPad access. This is not offered as a separate product by AJ and as such you should have full access to the online content from any form of web browser. A member of our customer services team will be in contact shortly in order to assist you in resolving the issue. Kind regards, The AJ Team.

I've been subscribed for a month and still haven't received a single magazine. Queries to customer services have not been replied to.

Customer service people mean well. But the processes are prehistoric. If I did need this trade paper I would never pay. I have had consistent bad experiences going back 4 years.

I signed up for the digital membership and I have been unable to get any subscriber access. I've contacted customer service (by email) and followed instructions to change my password and yet it seems that my account is constantly being deemed a trial account with no access to content. Very frustrating.
