 Earth's Finest Newspaper March 14, 2008

I've been a voracious FT-reader ever since we were required to subscribe to it at graduate Business School. Each issue is a book full of insightful news coverage, beautifully-crafted prose and humorous commentary. The weekend edition gives me reading pleasure and insight all week long.
The FT is my invaluable tool, keeping me up-to-date on all global Political Economy issues. I recommend it unreservedly.

 PAPER, AWESOME; SYNAPSE BAD April 18, 2008

Ordered the subscription on Dec 10, 2007. It is 18th of April 2008 and I still have not recieved my order. Synapse took the payment yet never reported it to the publisher. Synapse's phone number provided by FT is useless. Call the number provided by Amazon: 800-586-2199
May 6, 2008 Update
My subscription started a week ago. On Apr 21, Synapse offered to provide a refund, but promised to continue the subscription. Called FT to make sure all was in order. FT tells me that someone placed an online order for 4 week trial subscription, and that i owe $99 to FT or the subscription will be cancelled. I called Synapse back, and I am promised the issue will be resolved... but who really knows.
May 7, 2008 Update
Apparantly, someone over at FT was wrong. My subscription was paid for by Synapse. I received a call from a nice gentleman from their corporate office explaining the situation.
Additionally, I found out that it typically takes 6-8 weeks for FT fulfillment by Synapse, not 2-4 weeks as advertised by Amazon.
Finally am happy with the outcome.
5-Star Paper. 1-Star Delivery Service May 16, 2008

To be fair, this review reflects on the FT's delivery service. Fire them! Bloody awful. I had subscribed to the FT for a number of years. For depth, intellect, foresight, instinct, and sheer quality of writing, no other paper can touch it. "Had" being the operative word. I would still be one of the faithful if their (outsourced) delivery service could deliver it every day (not every other day) before 7:00AM when I head off for work, rain or shine, like my dear neighbors' newspapers (NYT, USA Today, CT Post, etc.). If this immense institution can work out their delivery issues, I'll be back.
A great newspaper, but buy it somewhere else! May 27, 2008

I've been reading the FT for years and it's an essential part of being an informed reader. It's an absolutely stellar paper.
But buy this subscription anywhere but Amazon. I ordered in December and haven't seen the first issue - it's June now. Amazon/Synapse customer service was 100% useless, except for returning my money. I coudn't even speak to a service manager.
I saw reviews here warning about this, and I chalked it up to the bad luck of those folks. I know better now. Buy it anywhere else but Amazon!

I ordered this subscription on 6/17/08. Amazon said it would start arriving in 2-4 weeks. It is now 7/17/08, and the first issue has not yet arrived.
