4-6 is actually pretty fast, most magazines still print labels in advance and it can take 8-12 weeks.
What I hate is that you'll finally breakdown and buy it on the newsstand and it will come in the day after.
What I really, really hate are the rags that send you 3 prior issues and backdate the subscription. That gets a nasty phone call.
