    Issues 22-25 arrived in the mail this morning.

    Still no sign of issue 21.

    I'm wondering if I should ring up and ask about it.

    I got issue 21, but I'm still waiting on 17-20. They never sent them for some reason. I had to phone up a few times, but apparently it's now on it's way.

    I gave them a call when I managed to wake up this morning. They said issue 21 should have been in the issue 22-25 pack, but they're sending me out one.

    Issue 21 arrived for me on Thursday, and this morning (sat) I got issues 26-29.

    I'm starting to get frustrated with their erratic methods of credit card charging. My statement indicated that two transactions from netlink went through on feb 20th, get none of the invoices match that date, so I have no idea which issues those charges relate too.

    I'm also wondering if we're going to get dividers for the new folder, as well.

    I received issues 29-32 today, but I still haven't got 17-21 yet. On the last credit card statement, for my brother and I there were 6 different charges over 4 weeks. It seems I have to make yet another phone call.... :mad:
    No wonder my brother cancelled his subscription.

    I couldn't help noticing you guys are having trouble with NetLink Subscriptions.

    I used to subscribe to the "Star Trek Fact Files" [ducks_for_cover].

    They were really good at taking money from my credit card every fortnight without sending issues for as long as 3-4 weeks at a streach. When questioned about this (on numerous occaisions) their responce was usually "not receiving shipments from the distributor in the UK". Bull-pukky to them I say.

    I cancelled my subsrciption after they kept "shifting the goalposts" every month or so by extenting the number of issues to complete the set(from 200 to 234 to 307).

    I basically realised it wasn't worth the headache and canned it.

    When I saw the SWFF's were going to be available in NZ I said "WOOHOO!!" but when I saw who was distributing them I said "@#$$!!!". :mad: :(

    I sent NetLink an e-mail today, chasing them up about my missing 17-20 issues. They replied saying that they're on their way. I also changed my payment method from credit card, to cheque, so I can keep track of payments.

    "...Many of my friends are experiencing similar problems, and have cancelled their subscriptions. I hope I do not have to do the same..."

    I think I may have finally gotten through to them.

    Yep, what JP said.

    Or do what I do; find someone you know who has them and casually "borrow" them.

    Actually, that's what I've done. I have all SFL's at home.

    Hey, Mark, can I put them in the binders? It's hard to find what I'm looking for with them all in their shop-state?

    A week after my e-mail, I finally got my issues 17-20. My free gifts are apparently on their way too, but minus the mousepad (no more in stock). I would have cancelled my sub after all this fuss, but the stores around here don't seem to get them anymore.

    The way I sort them out, is I put 3 sections in one folder, and 3 in the other, so each section is complete, and you only need one set of dividers.


    Oh, on trademe someone is listing a pewter Boba Fett statue, exactly like the one you could win from the fact files. Bit out of my price range.

    yep, thats how i do it. 3 sections per folder.
    All mine are organised alphabetically, except for the Battles and Events, which are organises Chronologically.

    Havent heard back from them since i emailed about cancelling my sub, man theyre slack.

    the Fett statue would be nice, but the price is definitely up there.

    Good tip about the dividers .. must do that. I've seen the newest fact file issues in Borders and Whitcoulls ... nice picture of Luke on the front.

    That would be DOUBLEFRITZ

    He mentioned up there ^ that he won it.

    I doubt anyone in New Zealand has that kind of money to spare on Star Wars collectibles ... might have some luck on ebay, though. But then there's the shipping costs.

    Never underestimate how much money people are willing to spend on SW related crap/collectibles (delete as appropriate.)

    I've yet to recieve issues 20 -36, the fact that I pay by money order may have somehting to do with it, but u pay when u receive, & I aint received yet.

    GOt my gifts too. Is it just me or does coffee taste better out of a Star Wars Mug.

    Oh, & how cool is the SW t-shirt, its so 'retro'

    BTW, is anyone here taking Media Analysis 204 @ Auckland Uni?
