Why did I receive an amount different to what Enquire On Future Supply advised?

The forecast supply figure displayed in your title search is an approximate estimate only of the supply that you might receive of the next issue. There is no guarantee that this will be the actual supply that you receive.

Why does my future supply say zero?

This is because the warehouse has not yet marked the invoice as being ‘ship confirmed’.
