QUOTE (potmotr @ Oct 21 2009, 10:24)  And as I've said before, my Economist always arrives on time... Is it sent via Royal Mail? Some subscription services use alternatives and leave Royal Mail to do the last leg of the journey (as in popping it through your letter box). -------------------- "F1 is currently a competition between four car manufacturers, two energy drinks, three men, and a country."

Dunno, all I know is that it comes wrapped in plastic and comes on time! I'll investigate. -------------------- "Talk about a cat with nine lives - I reckoned Andrea de Cesaris had about 90 lives - but he usually delivered." - Eddie Jordan

Hmm, the Economist is having difficulty arriving promptly at our household though.
Anyway, that's not why I'm here. Are you a magazine subscriber worried about the impact of the postal strike? If so, read this announcement http://forums.autosport.com/index.php?showtopic=117474 Cheers David |

Just to show there is no rhyme nor reason to the Royal Fail; this week's copy of Autosport seems to have defied all the backlogs and strikes to arrive on the day of publication!

I live in Sweden, and usually it turns up on the Tuesday, but sometimes on a Wednesday. Twice has it failed to be delivered at all, but I have recieved those issues along with latter ones. It's frustrating reading a GP preview after a race, but it's better than nothing.

Since living in the Canaries, best six days, worst fifteen weeks. Usually between eight and eleven days. Those that think the Royal Mail leaves a little to be desired, need to check out the Spanish system.

Got home before, saw an Autosport on the step...
...was last week's! So annoying! Oh well, at least that digital copy is available. Sure like having a fresh copy in my hands though. -------------------- "Talk about a cat with nine lives - I reckoned Andrea de Cesaris had about 90 lives - but he usually delivered." - Eddie Jordan

OK, Autosport arrived only two days late WITH the postal strike in effect.

Was just about to say the same thing. Bizarrely my post has been getting better, not worse recently.

This week's issue arrived on Thursday, the day the mag comes out, once more.

Three weeks running now I've had my magazine arrive on schedule. Who knows what goes on in the Royal Mail sorting offices eh?

Subscribed to Autosport for 18 months and it have always received my copy on Thursday, apart from one day of strikes a couple of weeks ago when our post office was fully closed and no one in the town got mail.
The only complaint I ever had was that I never got my free gift!! -------------------- Well, it's all part of it. If there was nothing to be frightened of ...no limits...any silly bugger could get into a racing car - Jim Clark
