frequently asked questions (and the answers!)!

Is ordering online safe?

When you order a magazine online at Canada's Newsstand, you can be certain that no one else will have access to the information you provide.  The Acclaim Subscriptions secure server technology encrypts your order to prevent anyone else from reading it as the information travels from your computer to ours. And once your information reaches Acclaim Subscriptions, we take every precaution to ensure your privacy and security. Ordering online through us is more secure than ordering magazines any other way and safer than handing your credit card to a waiter at a restaurant or reading it aloud over a cordless phone.
