When will I receive my magazine issue?

Please be advised that we are a quarterly magazine and each quarterly magazine issue has 2 shipment schedules. As a result, new orders will take approximately 4-12 weeks from the shipment schedule’s deadline date to arrive, depending on when the order was placed, where the magazine is being shipped to, and consequently which shipment schedule it falls into. Other factors, such as weather conditions, may cause delays.

I renewed my magazine after I received the last magazine issue in my subscription, but my next issue is taking longer than I thought to arrive. Why hasn’t it arrived yet?

You might not have renewed in time to be a part of the first shipment scheduled and are therefore a part of the second shipment scheduled. Make sure to renew your subscriptions as soon as you can in order to avoid interruptions. If you have any concerns, please contact us or give us a call at 1-800-663-7611.

When will I get the free calendar?

Every subscription to BC Magazine includes a complimentary annual calendar. If you are subscribed for more than 1 year, you will get the calendar for each year you are subscribed. It comes with either the Fall or Winter issue.

How do I update my address and/or email address?

Contact us or give us a call at 1-800-663-7611. If you have login credentials to your subscription account, you can:

  1. Go to https://www.bcmag.ca/renew
  2. Log in.

I tried to purchase a subscription through your subscription fulfillment website (i.e. QFIE) that has an international address. What should I select as the province?

Please leave the Province/State blank for addresses outside of Canada and the USA.

How will I be notified of upcoming renewals?

You will receive up to 5 renewal notices, depending on how soon you renew your subscriptions. You will receive 2 renewal notices prior to receiving the last issue of your magazine subscription. The third renewal notice is on the cover wrap of your last magazine issue. You will receive 2 more notices after your last magazine issue. Make sure to renew your subscriptions as soon as you can in order to avoid interruptions.

I already renewed, but you sent me another renewal notice.

There are a few reasons why this happened.

  1. A cross in the mail! If you already renewed and got another renewal notice, please disregard it.
  2. If you sent in your payment via mail, then it may not have been processed in time before the renewal notices were mailed out. Please be patient.
  3. There may be an expired duplicate order in the system. If you already renewed and got another renewal notice, please disregard it.

If you are concerned, please contact us or give us a call at 1-800-663-7611.

How do I cancel my order?

If you mailed in payment or purchased from our subscription fulfillment website (i.e. QFIE), contact us or give us a call at 1-800-663-7611. If you purchased from our Shopify store, contact us here: https://shop.opmediagroup.ca/pages/contact

Where can I buy back issues?

Please go to our Shopify store at shop.opmediagroup.ca to buy a copy of what is available.

I am looking for a magazine issue or special edition book from the 1960s, 1970s, etc. Do you have any for sale? How can I get a copy of it?

Unfortunately, the only back issues we have for sale are the ones on our Shopify store. Please contact your local public libraries and check out their archives, e.g. Vancouver Public Library under Beautiful British Columbia and British Columbia Magazine. They may be able to help you get a print or digital photocopy.

I have old magazines and no longer want them. Some of them go as far back as the 1960s. Would you like to take them back or buy them back?

Unfortunately, we do not have enough storage to take back old magazines.
