Still getting the comics even though my subscription ran out

[jawsisra]

This month I got 2 comic even though last month's issues said they were my last issues I was wondering if any one else has had this happen

On the packaging it said for ALL FOR ADC 001/006 and the other I can not remember the numbers because I throw the packaging away

Oh My God I thought this was just me and my brother.

When I resubscribed to Sonic Universe there was some kind of error and I only was subbed to issues 69-75 yet I just got issue 76 a few days ago.

My brother's full subscription to Mega Man ran out and yet he got Mega Man #49.

I'm almost thinking they activated the Worlds Unite Sub because three of the books were coming to the same place. I know that's insanely unlikely but I'm honestly keeping my eyes peeled for if they send Sonic Boom even though I'm not subscribed to Boom.

I don't know what's real anymore.

I subscribed to Sonic Boom back in January and have yet to receive an issue. I should probably email them.

Archie has the worst subscription management center. There have been at least 5 different times over the past 10 years where I've had to e-mail them because they were sending me duplicate issues for months on end or cutting my subscription short. Just last month I got two 272s on the same day...

For this reason I always keep track in a spreadsheet when I get my issues.

I've gotten other peoples issues before.

In fact recently my brother got 9 copies of Mega Man #48. The were all packaged together so I'm sure if it was completely Archie's fault or what.

I've gotten someone else's comic stuck to mine before. I just put it back in the mail the next day. It happens. I mean how many thousands of comics do they have going out each month?

Five times in ten years is not that bad.

The only thing that's dumb about Archie's customer support is that the people working there use aliases. Unless you mean to tell that they actually have real life Archie Andrews and Betty Cooper working for them.

You know, the funny thing is, my subscriptions ended exactly before the crossover started, so the extra issue they mistakenly sent me was SU #76. I had actually planned on letting my subscriptions lapse and waiting out the crossover, since I didn't like the first one, but I actually ended up enjoying this issue (warts and all) so now I'm going to go ahead and renew.

My inner conspiracy-theorist can't help but wonder if they did that on purpose.

[OlSkratte]

that happened to me, but it was around like issue 65, haha. I guess this is a long standing problem. And I still have two copies of that first Monkey Khan issue they sent me by accident, one is still sealed in the plastic because of that.

I still not sure if I should keep the issues or send them back. I mean they did come in my name but My Subscription ran out before the crossover. I plan on renewing my when I have the money set aside for it. I usealy only subscribe to Sonic and Universe but because of the cross over I plan on sub to both Megaman and Sonic Boom also.

[squeakyboots13]

You may as well just keep it. It's a $3 comic and it was a mistake on their end that it was sent to you. If you still continue getting issues, I would shoot them an email about it just to make sure it didn't auto-renew or anything. But it shouldn't be a big deal right now.

I really think most of the issues involving people missing.....well, issues....stems more from poor mail service than any of Archie's subscription service.

I've been subscribed to the main series and Universe for years now, and I -never- had any comics go missing until I moved to another town. I had to have had at least a half-dozen issues not arrive, and each time Archie's service representatives sent me replacements. I once ended up with a copy belonging to a library a few towns over, due to the plastic wrapping sticking to my copy's. So, I'm really suspecting that the city I'm in just has a horrible mail service that may or may not have been sending my issues to other people.

[SonicBlueRanger]

Guy's I think I figured out the deal.

I just got part 3 of Worlds Unite and I notice on the subscription page it says "If you are already subscribed to one or more of these titles your current subscription will be extended."

It's not a mistake they bumped the subs.

[squeakyboots13]

It always says that. That's just what happens when you order another subscription before the first one expires.
