Your copy of Télé Z did not arrive in the mailbox this week, or your subscription seems to be blocked without explanation. This type of distribution failure regularly affects subscribers of this weekly magazine published by Prisma Media. Before considering cancellation, several simple checks often help restore the situation.
Subscription issue with Télé Z: what’s happening on the publisher’s side
Télé Z, launched in 1982, remains one of the most widely distributed TV program magazines in France. For several years, subscription management has been centralized through Prismashop, the official platform of Prisma Media. Any subscription, modification, or complaint goes through this portal.

When an issue does not arrive, the problem rarely lies with the printing. It is most often related to the postal distribution chain or an error in the recorded address data. The subscription service for Télé Z is based in Arras (Cedex 9), and it is from this center that shipments are dispatched.
To quickly find the phone number for Télé Z to contact, it is important to know that the most direct channel remains 0 808 809 063, a non-premium number linked to the subscription service. This number allows you to report non-receipt, correct an address, or track an ongoing complaint.

Check your address and data before calling Télé Z customer service
Have you moved recently or changed your mailbox? This is the first thing to check. A typo in the postal code, a misspelled name, or an old street number is enough to block distribution for several weeks.
Log in to Prismashop with your subscriber credentials. From your account, check that the delivery address matches exactly what is on your mailbox. A simple difference between “street” and “avenue” can cause a return to sender.
If everything seems correct online but the magazine still does not arrive, the problem likely lies with the carrier or the local post office. In this case, customer service can initiate a distribution investigation.
Information to prepare before contacting support
To ensure your call or email is processed quickly, gather a few items before picking up the phone:
- Your subscriber number, visible on the plastic wrap around the magazine or on the subscription confirmation email
- The delivery address as you declared it, including any address supplements (building, floor, entry code)
- The missing issue numbers, along with their publication dates if possible, so the service can precisely identify the affected copies
Contact Télé Z customer service by phone, email, or mail
Several channels exist, but not all offer the same responsiveness. Here’s how to choose the right one based on your situation.
By phone
The 0 808 809 063 is available Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM, and Saturday from 9 AM to 1 PM. This schedule, which includes Saturday morning, is an advantage for subscribers who work during the week. The call is not premium, which avoids unpleasant surprises on the phone bill.
During the call, an advisor can initiate a reshipment of the missing issue or directly correct your details in the subscriber database.
By email
The address [email protected] is dedicated to subscription-related questions. It is separate from the generic customer support of Prisma Media. Prefer this channel if your request concerns a delivery delay, a change of address, or a pause.
Specify your subscriber number in the subject of the email. Responses usually arrive within a few business days.
By postal mail
For formal complaints or cancellation requests, the postal address remains: Télé Z Service Abonnement, 62066 Arras Cedex 9. A registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt is recommended if you wish to keep proof of your action.
Mobile app and digital alternatives when the paper magazine does not arrive
Have you thought about the Télé Z mobile app while waiting for the issue to be resolved? It provides access to program grids and several sections of the magazine, directly from your phone or tablet.
The app allows you to view content even if the paper copy has not yet arrived. It is a useful stopgap solution, especially when the distribution issue lasts several weeks.
Some subscribers choose to switch to a mixed format (paper and digital) to no longer rely solely on postal distribution. This option is available on Prismashop, with immediate digital access update after subscription.
Unanswered complaint: possible recourse
If the problem persists despite your efforts, a few additional options exist. The first is to follow up with customer service through a different channel (email after a call, or mail after an email) mentioning the date of your initial request and the name of the advisor if you noted it.
In case of prolonged disputes over an unfulfilled subscription, you can contact the press mediator or submit a report via the dispute resolution platform of your choice. Always keep proof of your exchanges (screenshots, sent emails, acknowledgments of receipt) to support your case.
- Follow up through a different channel than the one initially used, mentioning the case number if one has been assigned
- Check your bank statement to ensure the subscription payment is active, as a payment rejection leads to automatic suspension of delivery
- Consult reviews from other subscribers on platforms like Trustpilot to identify if the issue is isolated or widespread
A magazine not received does not always mean an error on the publisher’s part. Verifying your personal data, calling the correct number, and using digital tools resolve the vast majority of cases within a few days.
