**Mailing dates are approximate based on postal services. International delivery can take 2–3 weeks from publication date depending on your location and your local delivery services.

Note: It is critical that you review and validate with us the mailing address we have for you in our system. This ensures more efficient delivery of your magazine. If you’ve signed up for a subscription via a third-party subscription service, we have no control how that service may have provided us with your mailing address. As such, assuming the address we were provided is correct or not, we cannot be responsible for any issue that is not delivered successfully.

How do I subscribe by mail or fax?

If you would like to subscribe to our magazines but want to mail us a check, please click here.

Understanding my recurring charges.

As a subscriber (or ICAN member), you have the option to sign up for an Annual or Monthly subscription term. When you sign up, you provide us with your credit card. That credit card information is stored securely—none of our staff ever have access to your full credit card information. We contract a third-party, data-compliant service company to securely manage our credit card transactions.

If you have selected a Monthly subscription (or membership), your credit card will be charged every month after the date you signed up. If you signed up for an Annual subscription (or membership), your credit card will be charged one year after the day you originally signed.

How do I cancel my subscription or membership?

Log into our website. Once you are logged in, click "View Account" at the top of the browser page. Clicking this will take you to your My Account page. Once you are on the My Account page, click My Subscriptions in the left-side menu. You will now see your current subscription (or membership). Click the “Cancel” button.
