What You Get With a Harper's Bazaar Subscription

A Harper's Bazaar subscription delivers the magazine to your home or gives you access to digital editions, depending on which plan you choose. The print edition arrives monthly and covers fashion, beauty, culture, and celebrity news. The digital version lets you read on your phone, tablet, or computer through their website or mobile app.

You can subscribe to print only, digital only, or both together. Print subscriptions typically cost less per issue than buying individual copies at a newsstand, and digital access starts when ready after you complete your order. Most subscriptions renew automatically each year unless you cancel.

How to Subscribe Directly From Harper's Bazaar

Go to the Harper's Bazaar website and look for the subscription link, usually found in the footer or top navigation menu. Click on it and you will see options for print, digital, or both. Select the plan you want and the subscription length (usually one year).

Enter your delivery address for print subscriptions or your email address for digital access. You will then provide payment information—credit card, debit card, or PayPal. After your order is confirmed, you will receive a confirmation email. Print subscriptions typically arrive within 4 to 6 weeks, while digital access begins when ready.

Subscribing Through Third-Party Services

You can also subscribe through Amazon, Magazines.com, or other magazine retailers. These services often run promotions that may offer lower introductory rates than the publisher's direct website. Search for "Harper's Bazaar subscription" on Amazon or visit Magazines.com and add it to your cart like any other purchase.

When you subscribe through a third party, your payment goes to that service, not directly to Harper's Bazaar. Your confirmation and renewal notices will come from the retailer, not the magazine. If you have questions about your subscription, contact the service where you purchased it first—they handle billing and delivery.

Understanding Your Subscription Options and Costs

Print-only subscriptions typically run between $15 and $30 per year during promotional periods, though regular pricing can be higher. Digital-only subscriptions vary depending on whether you go through Harper's Bazaar directly or a third-party service. Combined print-and-digital plans cost more than either option alone but give you access to both formats.

Prices change frequently based on promotions, so the rate you see today may differ from what someone else pays next month. Many subscriptions offer a discounted first year, then renew at a higher rate. Check the fine print before completing your order to see what your renewal price will be.

How to Access Your Digital Subscription

If you have a digital subscription, you can read Harper's Bazaar on the website by logging in with the email address and password you created during signup. read the Harper's Bazaar mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, then log in with the same credentials. New issues appear in the app as soon as they are published.

You can read offline by downloading individual issues to your device. The app works on iPhones, iPads, and Android phones and tablets. If you have trouble logging in or accessing an issue, contact Harper's Bazaar customer service through their website—they can reset your password or troubleshoot access problems.

Managing Your Subscription and Cancellation

Log into your account on the Harper's Bazaar website to view your subscription status, update your delivery address, or pause your subscription. You can usually manage these settings in an "Account" or "Subscription" section. If you subscribed through a third-party service like Amazon or Magazines.com, log into that service's website instead to make changes.

To cancel, go to your account settings and select the cancel option, or contact customer service directly. Most subscriptions renew automatically on your renewal date, so canceling before that date stops future charges. If you are charged after canceling, contact the service where you subscribed and request a refund—they typically honor refund requests within a reasonable window after the charge.

What to Do If You Have Problems With Your Subscription

If your magazine does not arrive within 8 weeks of ordering, or if you cannot access your digital subscription, contact Harper's Bazaar customer service. You can usually find a contact form or email address on their website. Include your subscription number (found in your confirmation email) and a description of the problem.

If you were charged twice, or if your renewal charged at a different rate than promised, contact the service where you subscribed. Keep your confirmation email and any promotional materials that showed the price you were promised. Most services will correct billing errors or issue refunds if you can show the discrepancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?

Yes, most subscriptions can be paused for a few months through your account settings. This holds your subscription without charging you and lets you resume later without signing up again. Check your account page or contact customer service to see how long you can pause.

What happens if I move and need to change my delivery address?

Log into your account and update your address in the subscription settings. Changes usually take effect with the next issue. If you are moving soon, update your address at least two weeks before your next issue ships to avoid delivery delays.

Can I give a Harper's Bazaar subscription as a gift?

Yes, most subscription services offer gift subscriptions. On the Harper's Bazaar website or through third-party retailers, look for a "Gift Subscription" option. You provide the recipient's address and can include a gift message. The subscription typically starts with the next available issue.

Do I get a refund if I cancel mid-year?

Refund policies vary by where you subscribed. If you cancel directly through Harper's Bazaar, they may offer a prorated refund for unused issues. Third-party services have their own policies. Contact the service where you subscribed to ask about refunds before you cancel.

How do I know if my subscription renewed?

You will receive a renewal confirmation email before your subscription charges. Check your email inbox and spam folder for this notice. You can also log into your account anytime to see your next renewal date and the amount you will be charged.
