Good morning,
 
No snow, very little ice, sun shining, posties been, but no magazine!
 
So where is it? I mean, I know West Cumbria is the back of beyond, but really it's not that bad. No worse than Thurso or whereever anyway.
 
Regards,
 
Peter G. Shaw

Hi


Likewise in Leeds.

Is it the post or are the magazines sent out at different times?

A slight sprinkle of snow as I write, not sticking YET!

Postman today Yes
Mag No
Snow No
Steam trains running by my window No (No services on Mid Hants in November)
 
So no distractions from work [which includes working with a team of Chinese engineers, but that is a whole other thread I am not going anywhere near    ].

I raised the issue of late delivery with myHobbystore last month and they told me they would 'put a trace' on it, to track delivery times, seems to be getting later each month, I used to get it about 1 week before it hit the shelves.

It's dry and sunny in the Ancient Isle of Avalon.
No MEW.
This is no surprise as it is a long time since it arrived on the Monday prior to publicaion. It is usually the day before, but it has arrived on the Monday after.

Good morning,
 
It's Monday morning, the postie has been and delivered the usual junk mail, but no magazine. So I have two questions:
 
1. Is there anyone in West Cumbria specifically around Cockermout/Workington area who HAS received Issue 171?
 
2. To David Clark. Could you please look into it, or advise otherwise. For what it's worth, the magazine is paid for by direct debit so there shouldn't be any problems caused by lack of payment. I assume you can obtain my details without me publicising them.
 
Many Thanks,
 
Peter G. Shaw

Hi Mark,
 
Nice to know that someone else in our area is having the same problem. Well, it's not nice, but you know what I mean. And thanks for responding.
 
David,
 
Does this suggest that there is something going wrong in our neck of the woods?
 
Regards,
 
Peter G. Shaw
 
ps Still nothing this (Tuesday) am.

Hi Peter, I've though that maybe something has been going wrong in my area at times, maybe a postman getting his own free copies perhaps (not that I Am throwing accusations here or anywhere else). I have had the odd ME not turning up, but have phone it in and got a replacement, but I still haven't recieved MEW169, They tell me they are waiting on thier supplyers for this and can't give me a date when it is likely to arrive. About time I rang them again maybe, what do you think David?
 
Regards Nick.

Hi Nick,
 
When I asked if anyone else was having problems with this issue in my area, this was specifically to see if it was an area problem, or just me. The fact that Mark has the problem seems to rule out an individual postie problem, and suggests it is more of a distribution problem. A suspicious mind might think that there is a bundle of mags sat in a corner somewhere and forgotten about.
 
It's interesting that my local shop occasionally has difficulties with the w/e papers not being delivered. Yet, when I then go to the nearest filling station, there are always plenty. It's not my local shop - they, when all said and done, are working purely for themselves and can't afford to upset their customers by not having sufficient copies. In this instance, it seems the local area distributor appears to have a couldn't care less attitude to smaller businesses.
 
Regards,
 
Peter G. Shaw

Hi Nick
The subscription people get spares at the same time or just before subscribers so that is a misleading reply from them.
I am know in direct contact with someone in UK subscriptions and response is very quick to my requests.
Email me name, address and subscription number if known to
I will arrange for one to be sent to you.
regards David
