Good old fashioned entertainment
Good old fashioned entertainment. My grandson loves it. It keeps him away from computer games and encourages his reading, but don’t tell him that🤣

Brilliant reading practice for my son
My son absolutely loves getting his Beano every week and immediately sits down to read the whole thing cover to cover!
He's now looking forward to dressing up as Dennis for world book day very soon!

We really appreciate your review! it's great to know Beano’s bringing smiles all round!
The comic is great. Delivery awful
Whilst the actual comic isn’t the problem, it’s the delivery.
We have missed the last two weeks beanos - so much so I thought my subscription had ended, but then this weeks arrived today from Royal Mail, so I suspect they are lying in a sorting office somewhere. Previously at times we received them on a Friday - when it’s easier to buy them on the Wednesday from the actual shop.
So whilst the comic isn’t the problem it’s their delivery service that lets them down.

An essential part of childhood
I remember the Beano from when I was a child. The quality is just as good ( if not better).

Unreliable! Don’t bother!
So we pay for a subscription but it never arrives on time and this week it still hasn’t arrived, even after it’s available in shops. They need to start at least sending 1st class to ensure the same appropriate level of service. So now anyone can buy it but my poor son is still waiting for his, again! And if he hadn’t wasted his money on the subscription then he could’ve bought it himself! Don’t bother!

Hi there Michelle, thank you for getting in touch. We're very sorry to hear your son's subscription is arriving late. We recognize your frustration that it's available in shops before he receives it. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we'll investigate how to improve our delivery service. Our customer experience team will reach out to you directly to see how we can help to resolve the delivery issues that you've been experiencing.
no contact with the support
My subscription has stopped arriving regularly. Three issues are missing and haven't been delivered, and there's been no response from support. This is becoming increasingly repetitive. I'm increasingly considering canceling it and buying issues from the store.
