Christmas FAQs

To learn more about Delayed Gratification and how our subscriptions work, see our FAQs here, or get in touch.

When will my gift subscription start?

If you sign up for a gift subscription now, your recipient will receive their first issue in March 2023. This is because we are a quarterly title that publishes in March, June, September and December. We’ll also send you a login to give them unlimited access to our digital archive allowing them to enjoy everything we have ever published straight away.

Can I give my recipient something sooner?

You can indeed. Either add a copy of the current issue of the magazine to your order or a copy of our book ‘An Answer For Everything’. You could also print off a gift certificate – we’ll send you a link to one in your confirmation email.

Where will you send the copy of the current issue?

If you choose to add a copy of the current issue to your order, you can choose whether you want it to be delivered to your billing address or to the recipient’s shipping address.

Can I change the shipping address?

If you add a copy of the current issue to your order, that will be sent out straight away to whichever address you specify. But you can change the shipping address for all subsequent deliveries by updating your details in the customer portal or by emailing us with instructions for the change.

How many copies will they get?

With an annual subscription to Delayed Gratification, your gift recipient will receive 4 issues of the magazine (unless you sign up for a two-year subscription, in which case they’ll get 8!)

Can I make changes to their subscription, or cancel it?

You can cancel the subscription at any time – just send an email to hello@slow-journalism.com, and we’ll take care of that for you right away. You can use our customer portal to update your recipient’s address or your payment details at any time – we’ll send you a link to the customer portal when you sign up – or you can email us and we’ll help you make any changes you need.
