    • retiredfeline on 08/02/2012 - 11:48

      Answering my own question in case others are interested. Yes you will get a subscriber number which will give you access to the digital edition.

    Wow, seems too good to be true.

    They list Australian contact details, so maybe they print and ship from Australia?

    Ordered.

  • engineeringprof on 07/02/2012 - 19:29

    how is it delivered, does anyone know?

    • lambsie on 07/02/2012 - 20:30

      The guardian weekly is printed in Australia as well, so possibly through your local newsagency or on the post.

        Same here,I was wondering if my NG got lost somewhere.

        • FitzChivalry Farseer on 07/02/2012 - 22:12

          The NG subscription page for that deal did say to wait 8-12 weeks for the first delivery for o/s addresses so no need to panic yet.

        • TIMEMACHINEBOOKS on 08/02/2012 - 11:21

          Might be worth contacting them thru the website…

          I waited in vain for OVER 3 months for my cheap NG deal to arrive then had to contact them asking where it was! Only after submitting another sub form that they emailed did it arrive. The first few came in plain brown paper from somewhere in Thailand (from memory), now they arrive in the usual printed packet…

    Seems too good to be true but I subscribed anyway. Great bargain and I subscribed hoping a positive outcome.

    Question for you guys: Which newspapers do you recommend reading? I lost all respect for Herald Sun when they put a full page headline of Warnie dating Liz Hurley. The Australian is not liked by many either. What is the recommended source in Australia?

      I normally use TheAge/Sydney Morning Herald for 60%, throw in The Australian for some decent opinion and a more right wing approach (30%) with ABC's The Drum making up the other 10%!

    This is a brilliant deal. The guardian android app is rather nice as well.

    Fantastic! Quality reading. Thank you OP.

    • Bob_Fossil on 07/02/2012 - 22:55

      Did you get it working? What kind of card and browser are you using?

      ETA. Tried Chrome and Firefox on OSX and no dice. Obviously an issue on their end. Hopefully they get it fixed or it's not much of a deal, or introduction to their online edition …

      • mxyzptik on 07/02/2012 - 23:18

        Yes it worked first time no problem & I received an immediate web confirmation. I used Firefox on OSX a few minutes before my post. - I just checked the email confirmation to make sure and yes it went through no problem.

    If u subscribe to this, is it printed and full of UK news or is there an australian edition which is full of oz news and overseas news. I dont want to subscribe to a "UK only" paper.

    • MadMaxHeadroom on 08/02/2012 - 10:12
      +1

      I suggest that you look at the sample issue which is available online here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/weekly/subscribe

      Although you are likely to get good coverage of international news, you are not going to get a newspaper which is full of Australian news, except where and to the extent that Australian news makes it into the international news section of the paper.

    So is this just a UK printed newspaper or Australian printed with overseas news in it?

    • MadMaxHeadroom on 08/02/2012 - 10:22

      Refer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian_Weekly

      Although it is printed in Australia (as well as in the UK and US), it is not an Australian newspaper. As noted on the GW website:

      "The Guardian Weekly offers a unique blend of international news, politics, culture and comment, combining articles from the Guardian with selected features from the Observer, The Washington Post and Le Monde."

    FWIW, I subscribed at 21:13 Sydney time yesterday (according to the email confirmation), and haven't seen any related transactions on my credit card yet. So it wouldn't appear as though they're processing the card payment at check-out time.
