I haven't received mine yet. I'm not satisfied with their promptness at all. The only reason I renewed my subscription because I want to know what's going on in the cake world. I just subscribed to the CC magazine, and if it is listing the events like ACD does, I won't renew ACD next year.

I really don't care if they have new editors. Their previous "service" was so awful, I won't subscribe again. And the magazine itself is so thin it's not worth the $.

I'm subscribed through the end of this year but I doubt I'll be renewing. Last year the delivery and content was so poor that it just isn't worth it. Not to mention that it's now APRIL and I have not received any 2010 issue at all. Forget it. thumbsdown.gif

I will also NOT renew my subscription. I'm so disenchanted with their service and product that I cannot see myself spending the money this year. I did subscribe to CC's magazine.

But I only subscribed after I purchased the first issue, to get a feel for what it would be like. The quality of the CC magazine is SO much better than ACD, that I was sold on it.

I received the mailbox news last week. My very first issue. I subscribed back in September for both. I have never received ACD. I keep calling and they keep extending my subscription but what good is it doing me if I never get it!!! Loved the CC magazine.

I'm jumping on the same train!! I, too, will not be renewing!! I just received the April MBN and what a disappointment. Half the magazine is filled with 1/2 filled pages. They are just white, blank spaces!! With no disrespect, the cakes published don't make me 'ohh' and 'ahhh!' I see more cakes that catch my interest here on CC for free!!!

I will never subscribe again. I had a one-year subscription to ACD and received three issues.... that first one a half year after subscribing. What kind of crap company sends the Jan/Feb issue at the end of Feb? That particular issue should be sent in the middle/end of December.

Still waiting too! My Grandmother-in-law renewed my subscription (which I wasn't going to do anyway) because she saw the renewal come in while watching the kids a few days and thought it would make a "great Christmas present". Unfortunately I cannot remember the last time I actually received that stupid magazine and that mailbox news was the worst thing I've ever seen. She has called them numerous times and sent a copy of her canceled checks but to no avail. I see their adverts on the boxes of cake flour everytime I bake a cake. I guess it's not quite worth it to take them to court for the costs but I believe that it's become a scam.

My husband ordered my subscription in November and I still don't have anything. I agree with others my MBN does not inspire me. The work is nice but it doesn't inspire me to try anything new. I need to really see if I can cancel.

I subscribed last August for both ACD and Mailbox News. I received Mailbox News months later and it was not worth the money so I cancelled. Then finally I received my first issue of ACD the end of December (5 months later) and was not very impressed and decided I would not renew and just let the supscription run its course.

Well it is now April and I still have not gotten my February/March issue and I cancelled ACD today!!! Done with it - no more.
