I think that's about right. My subscription comes up around August. Seems like I start getting renewal notices in January, which I ignore. However if you wait for your last issue to come before renewing, you may well miss the next issue.
Also missing an issue because your subscription hasn't been set up/renewed is different than missing an issue in the middle of your active subscription and I think gets handled by two different groups, but the same customer service contact. Once something is outsourced the system never works like it did when someone was actually responsible for it. Not an excuse, just an observation.

I have several different types of magazine on subscription and in my experience the only ones that have given me problems are those that have been outsourced by the publisher to another company. Admittedly all these magazines are UK based however with Beckett based in Texas and the subscriptions being handled by a Chicago company I think that is where the problems lies but of course I could be wrong...

I finally received the June/July issue in yesterday's mail. This was the replacement one that Beckett sent. It arrived in a brown manilla envelope from a Beckett address in Dallas, TX. Thank you very much Beckett.
And as a bonus, I also received the new Aug/Sept issue yesterday. The outer plastic wrapping was torn apart and the barely covering the magazine. And the mailing label was actually stuck on the back cover of the magazine. However, the magazine itself was totally undamaged and the promo card envelope was inside, all safe and sound. So now I have back to back issues to read. Yippee
