One of our Japanese print suppliers has begun soliciting yearly subscriptions for Famitsu magazine. The first issue will start shipping in the first week of July. We researched which other services supply Famitsu in the USA and found Magazine Express which charges US$394.50 per year (US$7.58 per issue). However, it's unlikely that they're shipping the magazines by air freight to the United States. They'll most likely using sea freight which adds a lead time of 4-6 weeks per issue.Famitsu Magazine is on newstands in Japan every Friday which misses our weekly shipments that go out on Tuesday but we'll receive every issue 1 week after it's released. Our subscription rate is US$480 per year (US$9.23 per issue) which includes shipping by Media Mail to customers in the USA. If you wish to use a faster service such as Priority Mail, please note the yearly subscription rate will be US$626 ($12.03 per issue). Finally, there is a next day subscription service they can offer which will allow you to have every issue of Famitsu in your hands on the Monday after it hits the newsstands but this will cost US$55 per issue with a 1-year commitment for a total cost of US$2860 per annum.
