Questions
How long will it take for the magazines to arrive?
For most orders, you can expect to receive your first issue within 4 to 6 weeks. Your credit card will be charged at the time you subscribe. If there are any problems or delays, you will be notified.
Can I send a gift subscription to a child in another country?
Highlights, High Five, High Five Bilingüe, and Highlights Hello magazines can be sent to the U.S. and Canada. However, we can only deliver brainPLAY magazine to addresses in the United States (including Hawaii and Alaska) at this time.
How will the child know the gift is from me?
For gift orders, the first issue will have your name on the cover as the purchaser. We also have some printable gift cards online that you can print and personalize for the child.
Will I be charged sales tax on my magazine order?
Sales tax is calculated where required by law based on the delivery address and includes any applicable state and local taxes.
