Beware lengthy shipping time! January 29, 2008 C. Osbahr 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have no problems with the Financial Times, but I purchased this as a gift with the estimated delivery of 3-4 weeks, and delivery hasn't started -- 5 weeks later! The customer service line is an annoying automated system, and it tells me that my gift recipient won't be getting it for 2 more weeks! Arg.
by mail 2 days later March 7, 2008 . (Terre Haute, IN) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is an excellent paper. Unfortunately it took 2 months from order placement to the first issue arrival. To my surprise it is being delivered by mail 2 days post issue date. I do not need Monday paper on Wednesday after returning from work, no matter how good it is. I am going back to WSJ delivered to my door at 6AM same day, so I can read my paper with my morning coffee the way God intended. I am canceling the subscription today.
good for economics/business not for world reporting July 14, 2004 3 out of 26 found this review helpful
This newspaper is good for economics and business reporting but is painfully biased in its world reporting. Cant recommend, go with WSJ
5 Stars for the FT, Zero stars for Amazon August 6, 2007 Artdime 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
If you want to stay updated on world news, this is the paper to read. It features a well balanced mix between US news and international news. I let my subscription lapse recently due to a move and felt not being well informed anymore. However, please be advised that it takes at least 7 weeks for the first issue to arrive, not 2 to 4 weeks like stated by Amazon. Amazon customer service was extremely unhelpful when asked about this issue. They referred to their magazine customer service by Synapse - who never responded to my inquiry regarding the delivery issue. Very disappointing!
Best macroeconomic, financial market news of major financial papers October 25, 2007 Yoda (Hadera, Israel) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The FT offers extraordinary coverage of macroeconomics, financial markets and international economics and trade. Far better than the Wall Street Journal or Investors Daily. Its commentators and writers are top-notch. If macro, financial markets and international economics and markets are your interest this is the paper for you. Unlike the Wall Street Journal, very little coverage of mundane subjects such as impacts of tax changes on the restaurant business, U.S. political scene and Op-Eds such as those of Jerry Falwell demanding that "intelligent design" be taught in U.S. schools.
