How do I place an order online?
 
To make a purchase, add the item(s) to the shopping basket. All shop prices are shown in UK British Pound Sterling (£ GBP).
Shop prices do not include shipping (shipping is added at the checkout and is based on the weight of your order).


How much does shipping cost?
 
The shipping cost will depend on the weight of your order. Magazines vary enormously in weight, so the easiest way to determine the shipping cost is to simply select the item(s) you wish to purchase, click "add to basket" and then select "calculate postage cost" and choose the destination country.

What is "Verified by Visa" and "Mastercard SecureCode" (also known as 3D Secure)?

"3D Secure" is a service provided by your card issuer that gives added protection when using your card online as it requires a personal password chosen by you. 3D Secure has been incorporated into Cardsave's website payment systems as it is an additional anti-fraud security initiative.

Mastercard SecureCode
MasterCard SecureCode provides a password-protected level of security when using your MasterCard / Maestro card online. The service allows you to create a password (known only to yourself) which you enter each time you use your card online.
In order to register for MasterCard SecureCode, you will need to sign up for the service with the bank that issued your card, or you may be invited to register when redirected to the Cardsave page whilst you are making a payment to us.
Once you have registered your own password with your card issuer, you will be automatically prompted at checkout to provide this password each time you make a purchase. This means that even if someone knows your card number, they will unable to complete a purchase without your private password.

Are all the items shown on the website owned by crazyaboutmagazines and in stock?

Yes. We own all the items that are shown on our website. All the magazines are carefully stored in our warehouse and are available to purchase and ready to ship. The photo shown on the website is of the actual item you will receive.

Are the magazines new or used?

We class our items as "second-hand" (most magazines we sell are now out-of-print), but please refer to the description of each magazine in our shop where we specify the exact condition (some items are "as new", others are "used"). We also check through every page of each magazine to identify the condition and will clearly state any defects. Many of the items have been bought by ourselves from new - other older vintage magazines have either been collected by ourselves over many years or bought from collectors in the past.
Each magazine in our shop is graded according to condition. (See below for further details).


Are the magazines original issues?

All magazines are the original complete issues. We never sell reproductions.


How do you grade magazines?
We grade vintage magazines according to their overall condition. We check every page in used magazines for signs of wear/damage and specify the condition in the item description. Many of our magazines are in excellent (unread) condition. However, other magazines do show signs of wear and are graded accordingly. See below for a general guide to condition:

Excellent condition: unread, excellent throughout
Very good condition: almost as-new, with minimal signs of wear
Good condition: read condition, light finger creasing, light wear
Fair condition: tears, creasing, generally well read
Poor condition: tears, creases, very well read, may have some pages loose/missing; generally poor condition


What packaging do you use?

 

All magazines are securely wrapped in protective cellophane to prevent water damage and are shipped in either a strong quality board-backed envelope or padded bubble envelope (sometimes both are used to ensure items arrive in great condition). Larger items may be boxed. All items are securely taped and clearly labelled "Fragile - Do Not Bend". All items we send are not visible through the outer packaging. All items are ALWAYS sent flat (items are NEVER rolled or folded (unless requested)).
 

How do I order a magazine not listed on your website?

At crazyaboutmagazines, we currently have a wide range of magazines for sale in our shop. We still have many more magazines to list. If you are looking to order back issues of magazines that are not displayed in our online vintage magazine store, we may have a copy not yet listed for sale.

I am looking for a latest issue / forthcoming issue - can I order it online from you?

We will do our best to try to obtain a latest issue or forthcoming issue for you. Please contact us for further assistance.



I need to do research to find a particular magazine. Can you help?

Can you photocopy or scan a particular article for me?

No. We cannot photocopy pages from a magazine due to copyright. All items for sale in our shop are the original magazines.
