I've just had a long chat with our subscriptions department. Our external customer services and fulfillment agency is being rebriefed next week, and hopefully should be a lot more efficient as a result.
To be fair, it also seems that banks are taking longer to process and confirm Direct Debits - this is why we say to leave a minimum of 35 days between subscribing and receiving your gift.
All remaining cables not yet dispatched are being sent out tomorrow, so should be with subscribers next week. The delay for these last few orders has been down to sheer volume of numbers - the response to the offer has been overwhelming and we're now onto our fourth delivery of cables from Chord.
There are several legacy subscriptions email addresses that all end up in the same inbox - emailing whathifi.subs@quadrantsubs.com will get you where you need to go. Or, as mentioned, you can email us via the Contact Us page (link at bottom of this page) and we'll ensure your email gets passed on.
