FAQs
How do I purchase a subscription?
Subscriptions are available to purchase from the 2000 AD webshop. When purchasing you will have opportunity to select a delivery address and recipient.
How much is shipping?
Cost of shipping is dependent on the country of delivery, and calculated at checkout. All subscription issues ship direct from our printers in the UK.
What packaging is used for subscription issues?
Subscription copies are sent straight from our printers in eco-friendly potato starch bags. These are completely compostable.
Can I start my subscription from an earlier issue?
Unfortunately, this is not possible. Your subscription will always start with the upcoming release.
When will I receive my first issues?
Print
Our subscriber address list is sent to our printers two weeks in advance of every issue release; this means that when you start your subscription, your first two issues are sent out by our warehouse partners rather than direct from the printers. Subscribers usually receive their first issue within approximately a week.
Digital
Digital subscribers receive their first issues instantly. You can find your first issues on the app or your Downloads page on the webshop. For more instructions on this, please visit our article 'How to start reading digitally?'.
Do the Megazine and 2000 AD both have Judge Dredd stories?
Yes, Judge Dredd stories are featured in both 2000 AD and the Megazine.

If you have any kind of subscription troubles, our Customer Support team are on hand from Monday to Friday, 9am until 5pm. You can email us at subshelp@2000ad.com. If you are print subscriber, please remember to include your subscription number as this is very useful when finding your account.

I want to add 2000 AD/The Megazine to my subscription
Physical Subscriptions
Our system does not allow customers to change subscription types: if you would like to subscribe to both 2000 AD and the Megazine, you will need to cancel your current subscription and then purchase a Combi subscription once the previous subscription has ended. The Combi subscription covers both the 2000 AD Prog & Judge Dredd Megazine, and is less expensive than buying the two subscriptions separately.
If you need any assistance cancelling your subscription or resubscribing with us, please email us at subshelp@2000ad.com or message us using our contact form, quoting your subscription number.
If you wish to remove 2000 AD or the Megazine from your subscription, please follow the same steps as above.
Digital Subscriptions
