I can totally sell some stuff i dont want, i have necron friends and sisters friends.
All you can pick in the US is whether you want to start with issue 1 or issue 2. And then enter your payment details. No options to pick a start date, or any indication really when it will start shipping.

Just what it shows - cheap clippers, the mini mold line tool, and some glue. I’ve found the mold line tool does work, but the small one is hard to handle.

You're forgetting sales tax. North American prices never include it because it differs from province to province/state to state (and even city to city in the US). The UK price includes 20% VAT so to have a real comparison you need to multiply all the UK prices by 5/6.
I just subscribed here in the states and no additional tax was added, so it seems to be baked into the price here as well.

Done some sums, which suggest the US folks are in for some solid savings.
U.K. cover price is £8.99. So across the 80 issue run, that’s a total cost of £719.20.
US cover price is $11.95. So across the 80 issue run, that’s a total cost of $956.
At the current exchange rate, if we convert USD to GBP? £693.24
That of course doesn’t allow for local taxes. You’ll need to work those out for yourself.
But we can confidentially say the US has a better price - and because GW have a hefty markup on their own exchange rate? If you’ve any interest in the offerings, you’d be daft not to sign up.
I’ll leave it to someone else to price it all up in USD, but if memory serves, Valrak pegged the U.K. price as a roughly 40% saving. US may be looking at closer to 60% compared to GW’s USD price.
I just hope Hachette do singles in the US as they do in the U.K. Because Flayed Ones! (No I am not going to shut up that I can finally, with a wee bit of patience, get not only non-sucky Flayed Ones, but for a pretty decent price!)

Mississippi, I thought we had an online sales tax requirement but on googling it seems it might be a little more complicated.

But isn't it $11.95 per issue plus shipping? It says "The first shipment is free, after that there is $4.95 S&H."

Assuming it's the same as the UK (and other countries) then you'll get one shipment of 4 issues per month, so it would be $11.95x4 + $4.95 per 4 issues, so $52.75 per month, $13.19 per issue.

Their website said that it'll work the same here in the US.

Yes, shipping definitely needs to be part of the decision process as to how much ‘value’ is involved, at $4.95 each delivery after the first. $99 extra in the US, as they need to make twenty more deliveries after the first one, since it’s only 2 issues in the first one.

Wait, so in the UK Hachette does allow people to buy extra copies of certain issues?

Hachette have a webstore so you can grab individual issues there (stock is limited). Some retailers also stock individual issues, Forbidden Planet being the best one.

In theory in the US, anything online you don't pay sales tax on you're supposed to list it and pay it when you file your yearly taxes. In practice, everyone ignores that.

Dear Lord, not sure if it is my browser (Chrome) or what but that Hachette website is a nightmare to buy anything from, search or even stay logged in. It is as if they actively do not want money.

I ordered a batch of stuff last year from them. It never arrived, their customer services never processed the refund they repeatedly promised, and it took a literal 24 hour notice of serving them a small claims court action to get them to send me a cheque. I know I wasn't alone either. Don't ever buy from them direct.

I'm in the middle of trying to deal with pretty much the same situation. They suck, and I'd suggest anyone thinking of buying direct from them take this into account when ordering.

I had the same situation, I ordered a load of conquest magazines direct from them a couple of months ago. Weeks later they told me that they were only on the website due to an error, and would be refunding me via cheque.
Dealing with them directly is an atrocious experience

Cheques? I know publishing is often an old-fashioned industry but I can’t remember the last time I saw a cheque.

They still get used, heck a lot of auction houses still send out cheques with your payment. However many offer it only if you don't give them your bank account details to send the money by direct transfer.
It's strange for a firm you deal with online to use cheques since they'd have an electronic system and a record of your bank/card details in their system and most payment merchant systems have room to offer refunds.
I wonder if perhaps they were aiming to use the cheque so that it didn't spark on their merchant system (and thus with their bank) as issuing a refund through the system itself.
That or it is just a system where whoever is in charge has an older style of business approach.

Definitely strange. I received an order confirmation email basically instantly. Other than the usual, like checking spam to see if it was misdirected, not sure what’s up.
