Lovely collection of Peter Rabbit cross stitch 4 season samplers. But lots of other patterns and ideas too. The designs can also be used individually or put together as a sampler as intended.

I needed to cancel my subscription. Hachette Paperworks say you can cancel anytime which I was slightly suspicious of. However, my concerns were invalid. They got back to me very quickly and canceled it. Five stars I was very impressed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Customer Service is Amazing

I have run into a couple of issues with the marketing of my initial sign up and receiving a damaged issue but I've always gotten a quick and helpful response from the customer services team (especially want to thank Nikita, she's always on it with responses). They are kind and honestly want to help and I want to share my gratitude with this review.

Had the premium subscription

Had the premium subscription, all great to start, Crochet Lace, loved the patterns but they have become repetitive, who needs all those crocheted neck collars? How many issues just have the same 'joining square'? And be very careful of the 'extras'.

So convenient and easy

This deal is packed with so much value and the issues are all wonderful. Each one is packaged well and they each arrive on time like clockwork. There is a reason a subscription is held in such high regard within the community. 10/10 would buy again. Fantastic.

High monthly cost, website is janky

I must have misread or misunderstood something. I signed up thinking this was going to be a $20-25usd a month subscription. I woke up one morning to a $90 charge, which I simply can't afford. For a set that is worth $200 intotal (The Warhammer Ultimate Starter kit) i would have been fine paying $20-25/mo for this. But $90 is far far too much. I get it comes with magazines, but the magazines fall apart instantly anyway so they're barely worth collecting. If this service had a more affordable option I would consider it, but for the time being this is not for me. If an option like that exists I'd love to hear about it. The website itself is incredibly hard to navigate. Nothing takes me where I wanna go so if someone has a link for a better option here for the subscription here in the USA that would be awesome. Delivery speed was great, and customer service replied quickly. I don't like that the email system is purely website based. If there is an issue where I can't get into my account (which happened) I can't communicate with customer support. This should be looked at imo...

Hi Justin,

Thank you for your review.

I am sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your subscription. To clarify the pricing, the issues are $14.99 (standard)/$17.99 (premium) each (before posting and packing), and we send out 4 issues every 4 weeks for a total of 90 issues. We do note that it would be 4 issues per delivery this in the "Subsequent Deliveries" section of the subscription form. As well as that, the magazine pages are designed to be taken apart and put into order in a binder.

Your feedback is appreciated, in fact, I'll be sure to pass on your comments about the website to our web team to improve our service going forwards. For future reference, you do not need to use our website's messaging service, and you can in fact email us at customer_service_us@contact.hachettepartworks.com. You can also call or send us a message to our WhatsApp, Facebook or Instagram.

Kind Regards,

Good idea, very poor quality.

Quality of the actual product is pretty low. Print quality of the pages is good. Binding is a joke. It literally looks like it was printed and bound as one large book then cut apart into pieces with ragged glue seams. The "tools" included with the subscription, namely the sprue cutters, are of the worst quality I have ever seen. The cutting edges do not even touch each other and what should be a precision ground surface looks as if a blind chimpanzee used a rock to hone the edge. Discounted models are quite nice, and some of the editions have neat little short stories, but most of the "magazine" is just a repeat of what was already printed in the previous ones explaining game play and trying to sell you on buying a full army, or really ridiculous "name generating" tables. Overall feels like a lot of cut corners and hollow fluff rather than a quality world building experience.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your review.

I am sorry to hear that you're unhappy with the magazines. For the binding, the magazines are designed to have their pages taken apart so you can put them in order into a binder.

If you are having trouble with the Citadel fine detail cutters, then please email us directly using customer_service_us@contact.hachettepartworks.com, including your last order number and full address, so that we can look into this for you. If you can include a picture of the cutters showing they're not closing properly, we can look into a replacement for you, as this shouldn't be the case.

Your feedback is appreciated.

Great price for the models you get

Great price for the models you get. I like the magazine a lot. It teaches you slowly with the models you get how to play the game. Definitely worth my time and money in my opinion.

Best customer service team I’ve ever dealt with. Everything was no problem and the advisors, such as Keira, who helped me most recently, were friendly and able to fix every issue I had.

Would recommend Hachette to anyone based on how they help their customers alone.
