I have not received an undamaged copy of my SC&M magazine in quite a while also.

Could it be because of the cover material that the magazine uses gets caught up in the postal machines?

I get subscriptions to many different magazines and this is the only one that is consistently torn up. What's interesting is that the SC&M would appear to have stronger cover material than most of the other magazines that I get, also more slippery.

I wonder if Doug Auld and the team would consider looking into this and change the thickness or material of the covers. I hate to put it on them, but it is the only magazine consistently torn up.

Hey DB, where are you?

I feel the white fellow's pain. The biggest enemy of the USPS is...the USPS itself. Customer service has been sacrificed at the alter of cost cutting. And I'm still waiting on issues of a racing newspaper that hasn't been delivered here since February.

I can say that Doug mails SC&M at a lower rate than 2nd class, or periodical mail. That may or may not have anything to do with it.

And I do get tired of having to explain stuff like this that happens when it should not happen. So, DWB and others, raise holy hell with the postal "service" and/or your elected representative and anyone else. It's a damned shame that it should come to this, but there is no other way for the time being.

27 months and 24 days, then I join Marv in retired bliss.

It still only costs 3 cents to mail a letter. It just so happens that the storage charges are now 39 cents. Sorry DB, don't go postal on me.

Blame the union!

I belong to the union. And I will always support them. Maybe you need to do some homework.

I worked at magazine printing plant for about 30 years. Chances are, the post office recieved your magazine in the same condition you recieved it in.

After contacting the post office I was told they are not responsible for damaged mail if it's not insured. So my options are limited. I can ask for another issue of the magazine sent at Sprintcar and Midget magazine's cost, I do the same as above but pay for it myself or I could go without. No wonder people in this country hate the post office so much. Customer service is dead anymore.

My parents run into NSSN being delivered late about every 2 to 3 years for the last 20 years. It usually starts to be only a day or 2 late, then 3, then 4, and so on. They finally get tired of it and complain to their local post office, immediately after each complaint it begins showing up on time. Apparently someone at the New Palestine Post Office is a NSSN fan that is too cheap to pay for it.
