You still have to pay extra shipping fees for customs there. It's not just about distance. Plus, there's probably a much higher return on subscribers from the US than anywhere else.

ah so they're cheap. good to know :s See, I would think that they'd leave it open to everyone so that more people might continue the subscription by paying. i guess thats expecting too much

Yup - it's all about that international shipping. I send a lot of stuff up to friends in Canada, and the USPS rates to Canada, while they aren't expensive, they also aren't cheap. (Canadians can send stuff to the US for significantly cheaper, though.)

Plus, within the US, magazines are mailed at a bulk media-rate. I don't think such a rate exists for international mail.

At the price subscriptions go for, it's probably still not worth them mailing them to another country. US Bulk mail rates give huge discounts for US mail, sending them to other countries still costs too much more to be worth it.
