Where is my Print subscription?
A Curve magazine subscription to a U.S. address takes approximately 6—8 weeks to start. A Canadian subscription takes 8—10 weeks, while an international subscription takes 10—12 weeks for delivery of your first issue.
Note: Curve publishes 6 issues a year.
I did not get a print issue. What can I do?
Please contact the Subscription Service Center. Their information is at the top of the FAQ page.
When you contact them include your full name as it appears on your subscription and your address. It would also be helpful if you knew the volume and issue number or the month and year of the last issue you received.
How do I change my address?
Go to the Subscriber Service Center portion of this site and complete the appropriate information related to “Change of Address.” Or you can contact them by using the information at the top of this FAQ page. www.curvemag.com/Curve-Magazine/Contact-Us/ IMPORTANT: Anytime you move you need to notify the Subscription Service Center of your address change. The USPS will not forward magazines even if you have filed a change of address with the USPS. It takes several weeks for the change of address to go into effect.
How is the magazine mailed?
Curve magazine is mailed discreetly. The magazine comes in a form-fitting, black, opaque plastic wrapper. Each issue is printed and mailed out in one large batch. Due to cost and time constraints we cannot mail out the magazine in plastic for one customer and then no plastic wrapper for another. The black plastic obviously obscures the content of the magazine and is necessary for some women who are not out. It also serves another purpose—it keeps the magazine from getting damaged in the mail.
We realize that you may not want the plastic due to waste issues or are "out and proud" but for now all magazines are sent that way and hope this explanation suffices.
Where can I buy Curve?
Curve is available at thousands of retail outlets including: Barnes & Noble, Borders, Hastings, B. Dalton and Virgin Records, along with many independent women’s, gay and lesbian bookstores. The grocery stores Lucky and Albertsons carry Curve as well.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Contact the Subscription Service Center and let them know you want your subscription cancelled and when it should take effect. You can also contact them by going to the Subscription Service Center portion of the website or see the information at the top of this FAQ page.
I want to cancel a gift subscription. How do I do that?
Gift subscriptions cannot be cancelled or refunded to the person that purchased the subscription. Once the gift has been given it is the property of gift recipient. If the gift recipient wants to cancel she may contact the Subscription Service Center.

Can prisoners order Curve?
We welcome everyone to become a Curve reader. Prisoners can definitely purchase Curve. Sometimes customers order Curve when really trying to find a magazine entitled "American Curves," a publication featuring women in swimsuits. We are not associated with "American Curves" in any way.
At times prisoners might not get their magazine when it is held back by prison officials due to censorship. These rules vary with each prison institution and Curve has no control over this event.
