[Closed] New mag launch - Sender Mag

[img] [/img]

Hmm... yeah, ok, go on then... I'll give it a go.

Great to see a new mag out and good luck to it. Not bothered about posh paper and a £10 price tag though, so I'll not bother with it myself. Dirt was always fine and affordable (even if you did need a decoder for Steve Jones' writing).

Ah'm in! Just ain't the same sitting in a deck chair with a beer and a phone 😕

Bought ready for 2 week's cruise around Norway soon.

Like a good print mag. I'll give issue 1 a chance.

Bones mend, press send

It's not £10 it's £12.

That includes shippig, but it's impossble to get without shipping - so its £12.

$25 canadian, can't do it, but looks good though.

Will give it a whirl

I've ordered but £12, ouch

I don't want to be dismissive here, I'm a massive print fan due to my background, but I will be really amazed if they can beat what PinkBike do with their coverage of DH, and at that price I can download the PB pics and words an make my own issue and get it printed.
Fingers crossed and I'll be keeping and optimistic eye open on the site,

That's a fat looking magazine, assuming it's the same size as [url= https://shreddermtbzine.com/ ]Shredder[/url] you'll be getting roughly twice the content. So twice the price.

(nothing to do with Shredder)

Issue one features: Josh Bryceland... with Brendan Fairclough on the cover.

Has anyone that's ordered a copy received theirs yet?

Needs more beards and axes.

POSTED 2 MINUTES AGO # REPORT-POST

Yes, mine came at the weekend, it's exactly what I was hoping it would be, to be honest. I've been good and put it away until my holiday in August They need to up their sticker game though 😀

ordered last week, no mag yet.

Same here...

It may just be me and my social media bubble but it feels liek this has had a far softer roll out than, say, Cranked?

I've ordered a copy havign seen it mentioned on a thread here but it was only in passing and I'd have missed it quiet easily (I hadn't seen this thread)

No mag yet here either. I ordered the set of Shredder as well and they're a good read so far.

I'd buy the third issue. The first one won't be typical of the content (had ages to collect good stuff) the second issue will be stuff that didn't make issue one. Third issue is the one that will give you a realistic idea about what goes in each month.

No sign of magazine here either

Nor here.

Anyone else suspicious that the OP is the only one to have received it? When should we expect them?

It does say on the T&Cs page on their website-

"Shipping: Please allow up to 10 working days to receive your order. International shipping times may vary."

I've got nothing to do with the mag but I'm going to give it until next Tuesday (10 working days after I ordered) before I release the hounds*.

* open a paypal case.

edit- but the FB page hasn't been updated since January... hmmm... does the fishy thing smell fishy?

edit again- maybe the 10 working days thing is to allow time to get a batch printed? 😆

Fair enough.

*puts down pitch fork, for now*

Edit: oh really...

Nothing here, but forget when I ordered. Still active on Insta.

I've ordered but £12, ouch

Yeah, see what it's like.

I still miss The Albion TBH, and I've not ridden BMX in over a decade.

🙄

Had a response from an email earlier today.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for buying Sender!

We do state in our terms and conditions that it can take up to 10 working days.

The Royal Mail is averaging 3-4 days but we've had a few that have taken 7-8 days and for no clear reason.

Your should arrive next week.

Cheers,

Olly

So we can put down the pitchforks for now.

£12 come on really and your buying it !

It's "you're", and try some more of these-

. , ! ?

while your (sic) at it.

edit- yes, I've bought a copy. I like reading about bikes and stuff and a screen isn't [i]really[/i] the same as paper, is it, plus I can afford to give it a go so why wouldn't I? If it turns out to be a monster scam it's hardly Brink's-Mat. 😆

If you don't want to pay postage, it looks like some LBS will be stocking it too

Me no buy bike mags anymore.

They encourage the spendy part of my brain a little too much.

JD loves it at it makes him look huge!! Think I may need to get me some glasses though - the print is tiny.

Got mine this morning. brief look through, and first impressions is that it's pretty good

thumbs up from me 🙂

Gaaaaaaagh! Where's me stuff??!!1!11!

edit- oh, there's me stuff 😆 It's just landed.

I was just coming to ask if anyone had got theirs yet, and the postman came just at that moment! Quick thumb through, looks good.

Mine arrived today as well. Looks like they were saving up orders for one big trip to the post office 🙂
Looks good and got that proper toxicky printing smell that indy mags should have.
Smaller page format than I expected though, for some reason was expecting a Cranked/Privateer size.

Yup mine arrived, put away for holibobs.

Mine arrived this morning, looks a good read. Was surprised by the format size though...

read a few articles, first thoughts.

Pretty good, lovely pictures, good solid interviews, not too many adverts.

I'll buy another

How long did people's take to arrive?

Ordered mine 12/7 and not received yet.

wwaswas mine took around 7-8 days, they do say on the website that it can take up to 10, so given the date you mention it's probably worth dropping them an email.

Know this is a bit of an older older thread now, but if you've got an hour or so listen to the last Hookit Podcast (which is normally brilliant by the way). Its with Ollie who makes the new Sender magazine. I found it brilliant and informative.

That's how I found Sender, great podcast btw, handy for commuters.

Sender. It's not meant to be mtbr or what ever with a review after review of this n that, and ott gnarly shots of this week's next best sub £1000 hardtail roosting a berms or arse of rear tyre going down a 1ft step down.
I've ordered it and read it, it's great. It's so nice to have another alternative to being stuck staring at a phone or laptop or computer monitor for anymore of my precious life.

I got sent the first issue for free in a little instagram giveaway. Really like the mag and will def be buying future issues

Especially liked the ratboy interview

Dirt was always fine and affordable (even if you did need a decoder for Steve Jones' writing).

So true! Why oh why has Dirt still not managed to get even the most basic user experience sorted on their website? Given they took the leap from their venerable print mag to web only, it makes me slap my forehead regularly. Their site is terrible to use.

But digital media is the future, be damned with anyone who doesn't like it... Even if the user experience sucks.
Gutted that Death Grip movie is digital only...

Issue 2 is out now. I think if your ordered it before you get what is in effect a free shipping code.

Ordered and looking forward to it now.
