Do they still send all 3 copies, even if I cancel the DD straight away?
Thanks

I believe they do.

I don't know if other people do this

I have done, but the last time I got a pretty snotty response, so not sure I'll bother in future.

How easy is it to cancel myfavouritemagazines.co.uk (Future Publishing)?

I already get Linux Format with them which is fine, but am tempted on the 3 issues of net for £5. Thing is, in all likelihood I won't be bothered about a long term subscription, but it's one of these where they automatically bill you for 6 months after the trial. So it all depends on whether I can easily cancel after that, or if they'll kick up a massive fuss and cling to me tooth and nail like say Three Mobile would do.

Just ditching the DD isn't really an option as I want to continue with Linux Format, and it's more of a last ditch I'd rather not resort to anyway.

My experience (with other companies like hearst) is that you have one DD per subscription.
You have total control over DDs under the DD guarantee.

Check the terms and conditions but if it's a trial and you are allowed to cancel with no minimum following the trial subscription then there is nothing they can do to make you continue.
Some offers may have a min term so you need to check.

If you're worried then take a screen shot of the Ts and Cs.
It's very unlikely you'd be pursued for a mag subscription but evidence of the Ts and Cs usually shuts them up straightaway.

I had a snotty email asking for a gift back recently.
As soon as I showed them the Ts & Cs they apologised straight away.

I finally got my Glamour gift- Anti Wrinkle cream. It was a sustitue to the Seventeen gift set advertised. Great! I shall be looking 26 forever! haha

I cancelled my DD for the subscription.
Has anyone had the 2nd copy not show up?

Thanks

I've had two subscriptions to Glamour and cancelled DD each time and still got the magazines. At the end of each subscription I've had a letter offering year subscription for £9 along with a goody bag worth £40, last years goody bag was really good, re-subscribed last month and am just waiting for this years goody bag

They don't always come on the same day each month, so I'd be a little patient.
I've always got all the trial magazines.
I get the distinct impression that it would be harder and more costly for them to individually cancel than just continue until the end of the trial.
