What a lovely experience dealing with…

What a lovely experience dealing with Kelsey media, regarding my subscription. My message was swiftly responded to and the issue sorted within minutes . It is so refreshing to say this about an organisation that truly values its customers and gives first class service.
I only wish this was true when dealing with other organisations and companies.

I had an issue when I bought back issues, where some were lost in the mail. I contacted their customer service and they really were great, Georgina and Andrea. They re-sent me another package, and everything went smoothly.
Very friendly and helpful service for sure. You can buy with confidence from them, I know I will again for sure!

really helpful support after a lost in transit magazine

A magazine I ordered with a limited cd got lost in the mail. Katie was incredibly helpful in figuring out a way to find a spare copy of the cd (which turned out to belong to the editor) and posting it to me, even though the magazine had been out of print and the cds were thought to be gone.

Very easy to contact

Very easy to contact, you receive immediate confirmation they have received your request and that the appropriate person will be in touch. Each time I've used this method of contact I've had someone come back to me with only a few hours. Always polite, courteous and friendly.

Prompt professional resolution of subscription query

I had a subscription query so emailed the address from my magazine postal envelope.
I received a prompt response from Katie who got to the root of the problem. No fault at Kelsey - I had duplicated my subscription order which is why I was receiving two magazines.
Great customer service - thank you

Ahhhh, Home Again!

The very personal follow-up by every department at Kelsey. Our 98-year old friend's 20+ year lapsed subscription to This England was located, reinstated and he's happily revisiting England once again. This handled all the way long distance from America. Thank you, Kelsey.

Address Change/Billing Address


I could not amend address details on line as I was listed as living in Afghanistan when it should have been UK but I've moved from there and now live overseas/ Needed help to make the changes.
Poor website that doesn't accept changes and save them.
