Disappointing customer service
I am disappointed with the customer service provided by Beano.
Two issues have not been delivered during my subscription, including the issue dated 28th February (due by 25th February). I emailed to report this but have received no response after six days. As a result, my grandson has had to purchase the missing copies from a newsagent.
I am still awaiting confirmation that my subscription will be extended by two future issues (14th and 21st March) to compensate for the two copies not received.
Unfortunately, there has been a lack of prompt communication throughout my subscription, which has been frustrating and disappointing.

I made a mistake in the delivery details I submitted, for the Beano to be sent to my grandsons. I e-mailed the company and very speedily recieved a friendly and courteous reply. The information was corrected and the Beano safely delivered. I haven't got the exact date but it was organised in time for the first delivery of 2026..Who doesn't love The Beano. ?????

Bought for granddaughter for Christmas
Bought for granddaughter for Christmas, all arrived to her ok, but disappointed with communication to me so I knew it was all set up, and Christmas booklet arrived mid January to me not her, which I would have liked to have before Christmas so i could wrap it and let her know about the subscription I had purchased for her. I did organise well before Christmas

My grandson aged 8 loves the Beano
My grandson aged 8 loves the Beano. I took out a subscription for him as a Christmas present.
However, all the newsletters are sent to me and I then have to forward them to his mum. Please would you introduce an option to get them sent to the recipient of the comic or their parent instead of the person who pays for the subscription.

Thank you, Hilary! We’re chuffed to hear your subscription is going down a treat. We will of course pass your feedback along regarding the newsletters, you do raise a very good point!
Well worth it
The subscription was bought for a great granddaughter for Christmas who was 8 at the time. This was her second subscription and she absolutely loves receiving the comic through the post
