First, check your junk and spam folders, as the email may have been filtered there by mistake.

If you still haven't received the email, it's possible that the email address you entered is not associated with the account used to create the subscription.

If the subscription was purchased as a gift, the subscription may be linked to the purchaser's email address rather than your own. In this case, please contact the person who bought the subscription and ask them to try accessing the subscription portal using their email address.

If neither of these steps resolves the issue, please contact our customer service team at shop@bl.uk for further assistance.
