The 'Imported Issue Arrivals' Thread

[vogue28]

US Vogue's wafer-thin January issue has made it over here. For such a slender issue, I began to question where the heck these companies get their prices from. £6.95 for an issue that could have practically been stapled together! Nonetheless, I still made the purchase.

Just seen on someone's Instagram page that London's Victoria Station has exclusive copies of US Vogue's March issue, for London Fashion Week. Nice treat for you Londoners! While in the rest of the country, the February edition has just landed on shelves.

Vogue Italia always arrives at least a month too late in my country. Not sure why, because Italy isn't that far away

Fellow Canadians, is Indigo/Chapters/etc. still carrying Vogue Paris where you are? I haven't seen Vogue Paris in ages! Yet, for some reason, I see certain stores selling every issue of Vogue Italia now.

What's with US Vogue costing £7.50 here now in the UK? Are they compensating for the larger formatting with the May issue? This is the second time they've increased the price within 12 months, I'm certain.

Looking back through old covers on newsstand.com, it was £6.50, then went up to £6.95 after Jul 2015 (Cara's cover), and now it's £7.50.

Anyone else know if is it possible to find Vogue US in Italy? So far, here, I saw Vogue Paris, UK, Russia and Germany but no trace of Vogue Magazine.

And now I see the Taylor Swift issue is £7.95.

Does anyone in Sydney know where I can find international fashion magazines in town? I was trying to look for something in Newtown yesterday but with no luck.

Does anyone know what's going on with/has anyone seen Interview September in the UK? Newsstand lists the issue as being circulated from a couple of days ago but they still have the August cover showing on their website.

Are there distribution problems occurring internationally again ?

Newsstand's website not states the September issue of Interview is due out Oct 21.

I've found the international magazines have been arriving later and later this year. Vogue Paris had been late for months but the October issue came over fairly quickly - just like it used to. I have also noticed since the August issue that there's a new barcode on the cover (similar to the American imports), suggesting to me they've had to source copies from somewhere else.

US Vogue's October edition with Lupita is pretty late arriving in the UK too, and as was the September issue! So annoying.

I don't know if it's just in my area, but I very often find that well sought after issues (US Vogue, Bazaar, Elle, even VP but not VI) can arrive mere days after it's official release date in it's country of origin. There's normally a 'Just arrived!' sticker on it in addition to the 'American Edition' one. Of course I never buy these versions because the price is much dearer, I'd rather wait for the price to normalise.

I didn't think Vogue's September issue would be hard to get, but on the day I went they were sold out, but they quickly restocked. Apparently with these very thick issues they order by weight and not by units, which I suppose makes sense. Just wish they'd look at the prices for Vogue Ukraine and Australia!! I'm sorry, but it's vastly overpriced.

So October is ending and no sign of W magazine on the shelves, and Rihanna's cover was pulled from sale weeks ago. What gives? I've been to Oslo and they're still selling the September issue. Is W now foing to be late like Interview?

 

[vogue28]

Once again, Vogue Paris is extremely late in arriving in the UK. Does anyone know what's happening?

 

[vogue28]

Newsstand's website has Vogue Paris' November issue in stock now, so I assume it's out in the rest of the UK too.

I ordered the October issue of Harper's Bazaar Australia (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) online and it came with the December 2015 issue (Kate Upton), and I'm delighted since I did initially want a copy! Do they normally wrap older issues with more recent ones? Such a fabulous surprise.

Thanks for letting us know about Vogue Paris - it seems ages since I've seen a copy, and I bet it will be on the shelves for about 10 days before the Dec-Jan issue turns up to replace it.

 

[tigerrouge]

I saw the Dec-Jan Vogue Paris on sale today, so it's arrived in the UK.

 

[tigerrouge]

All the cover variants of Madonna's Vogue Italia turned up in my UK store today - but the French monthlies seem to be super-late. I haven't seen Feb Paris Vogue, nor others like French Photo.

February's French Vogue seems to have turned up in the UK at last - although I've seen enough from the March issue to want that issue instead now.

It is ridiculously late, i was also on the fence if should buy it or not. I did in the end. But the March one will probably turn up soon and it's way better.
