Motor City Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 How come the July issue is arriving in late September? Usually with magazines, the issues are mailed a few months prior to the date listed on the cover.
Harry P. Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 How come the July issue is arriving in late September? Usually with magazines, the issues are mailed a few months prior to the date listed on the cover. Seriously? That question has been discussed here about a bazillion times. Maybe two bazillion.
Deano Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Aw, Harry ... he's a new guy, only been here for two years.
Danno Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 How come the July issue is arriving in late September? Usually with magazines, the issues are mailed a few months prior to the date listed on the cover Because. Just . . . because.
Danno Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Besides, anybody can publish a monthly magazine in a timely fashion. It takes real panache and joie de vivre to publish one whenever!
Skip Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 This is Model Cars Mag forum.... right?MCM magazine hit my mail box today.You all should receiving it very soon. Sounds like we have the same mailman, or maybe brothers! Most of the time our mailman gets everything in the box. Just likes to shred everything as he's putting it in there, probably reasons that it fits better. Not kidding either, this guy regularly tears the cover off of magazines, large, small it doesn't matter. I suspected that it was just lousy handling along the way, until the last issue of Rod &Custom had 75% of the back cover torn off, there were parts of cover wedged between the wall and floor section of the box!! To his defense he is running two Rural Mail Routes and the post office isn't hiring anyone so everyone is running their bunz off!!
Tom Geiger Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 My copy arrived today in perfect condition. I'm near Philadelphia.

Danno Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 So, when I subscribe, can you have the Golden Bell folks slip my MCM into the bag with my SCM when they give them to the fine folks at the USPS?
Jairus Posted October 21, 2015 Author Posted October 21, 2015 Different printer/distributor Danno. Sorry.

Danno Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Different printer/distributor Danno. Sorry. Really? Whoa. I hadn't noticed. My bad.
Skip Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Subscribe to Slot Cars Magazine. Ours is shipped in a plastic bag!Just saying.....Well I don't understand when you put out a nice, specialty magazine like Model Cars and they cannot throw in a 5 or 10 cent bag to place it in to safely go through the mail. I subscribe to a few art and auto art type magazines two different Mini magazines from UK, they don't charge anything for the plastic bag it comes in every month. I've never had one of these magazines come through the mail damaged or torn ever. The magazines that do come through the mail naked regularly are torn, including Model Cars magazine. I keep most of my magazines, nearly all of them for reference material, so when I receive them in less than good condition it makes me wonder why I'm not just buying them off the newsstand, if I could find it that is! (Which is why I subscribed in the first place.) Jairus, I haven't come across your Slot Cars Magazine on any newsstand yet, which is how I normally buy the first three or four issues to make sure it's a good fit with my interests. I applaud you guys for spending the extra quarter or less that it costs to protect the magazine. Last time I mentioned this problem I was met with a, "it's not Gregg's call it's the publisher who makes that call". OK, so how to the other bagged magazines get bagged then if the people producing them aren't telling the printer to bag them so they are not shredded in the mail?Sorry for a longish rant post, when you pay a fair price for a great magazine I think you should be able to expect that the printer and or producer does what it takes to get it into the subscribers hands in good condition. I'm not the only one with this problem either as I've noticed others bring up the same problem.
Harry P. Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Do you have any idea what a magazine bagging machine costs?
