michaelbaskett Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 My newest issue is #179.... Has #180 been sent out yet, or am I just being impatient?... Thanks... Bill Baskett...
george 53 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 I don't know. I'm honestly debateing IF I WANT to renew my sub. After all these years of NEVER getting it on time, save maybe ONCE or TWICE since it came out, I'm not sure if it wouldn't just be easier to get it at the bookstore. At least I'd get it BEFORE the SO CALLED home delivery . It has REALLY tried my patience and loyalty. Don't really know IF I'll re up. May be easier and MORE TIMELY if I just GO OUT and buy it. The "Never on time" stuff s REALLY pushing my loyalty now, AND it's gotten REALLY old to hear the old "It's worth the wait" excuse. All my OTHER magazines come on time, why is MCM so late, aren't we subscribers WORTH the effort to get it out ON TIME????. Almost like the magazines NOT as important as the website. I honestly don't get it. It's just a shame nobody cares about the subscribers. At least that wat it looks like to me, and I've subscribed to MCM from JUMP!
Foxer Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) ok now ... NH gets it before the Berkshires?? (well, haven't walked down the hill to check mail yet today ....) another edit 5pm I got the mail and issue #180 WAS there! My apologies to neighbor NH! Edited November 12, 2013 by Foxer

The usual excuse George is that MCM is not professionally done, it is done by modeler so for modelers. I don't buy it. SAE was the same before Kalmbach bought them out, and it was never late, and never arrived damaged. Still is never late and arrives mint.

George I think he wanted to know which was the most current issue number , not your current issue with the magazine .
Exotics_Builder Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Issue 180 came in the mail today and mint (as it has 99% of the time).
LoneWolf15 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Issue 180 came in the mail today and mint (as it has 99% of the time). As did mine !
Dr. Cranky Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 I've been getting mine on a regular basis, and I really love the round up of this last year of issue, some wonderful eye candy and articles in the mag.
Ramfins59 Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Mine came today also. I don't really care when it show up, just as long as it does.
Darren B Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Mine came today also. I don't really care when it show up, just as long as it does. AGREED!!! best mag ever made, sorry hands down I could give a rats you know what when it arrives, just that it does arrive I love this mag.
Thatswhatshesaid Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 I let my subscription go a few years ago because of this very reason. I don't buy into the 'i don't care when it arrives as long as it arrives' mentality. February issue should not show up in June. At least SA arrives on time.
Danno Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 George I think he wanted to know which was the most current issue number , not your current issue with the magazine . Amen.
Danno Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Got mine today..#180, mint as usual. Dittos. Being "on time" is relative. I paid for a year's worth of issues and every year I receive a year's worth. Works out great. Some magazines put artificial dates on their covers which are months in advance. Is that "on time?"
Rob Hall Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Some magazines put artificial dates on their covers which are months in advance. Is that "on time?" Arriving during or before the month on the cover, I would think....car magazines, for instance, are usually at least 1 month ahead. It's bad form for a magazine to arrive late and would cause problems w/ retailers, I would assume. Seems like it's a publishing problem when they are chronically late.
crazyjim Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Issue 180 was here in mint condition when I returned home from a trip.
Tom_T Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 New subscriber here and it looks as if it came when it should Looking forward to the year ahead........................
doctor phillips Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 I subscribe to both MCM and SM. They used to arrive torn, wrinkled, and the covers were always a bit damp. Needless to say this was VERY irritating. I finally spoke with the carrier. It turns out that he would put them under his arm while making his rounds. It gets hot here in Austin during the summer... the dampness was his perspiration! He has since changed his ways and now the issues arrive intact and free of bodily secretions (...and I don't have to wash my hands after reading them). It would be nice to have MCM and SM arrive in a plastic enclosure, but I'm sure the cost would be too much.I do receive them on time (usually).
mrknowetall Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Mine arrived yesterday. I don't keep track of when they're "due". Gregg, Harry and the rest of the crew do the best they can. No worries!
george 53 Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Well, to each his own. I preffer to get them on time, by their monthly date at least. Maybe it'll come today.
hack-n-whack Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Doctor Phillips, How do YOU rate so high on the totem pole? Here in Michigan, that magazine is RARELY on time. Always an excuse printed in the editorial column. I don't subscribe to it; that's my excuse for getting it at my locat hobby shop.( Multiple trips waiting for each issue!)
Guest Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Well, to each his own. I preffer to get them on time, by their monthly date at least. Maybe it'll come today. Not yet for me. No surprise. We may be outnumbered George, but I am with you.
george 53 Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Who knows, Lee, maybe Thomas has a point, We used to joke about the lil hawiian guy who had to row them over. Michigan IS farther east than Cali, so maybe THATS the reason. After 4 now an it still hasn't come. Ok, now MAYBE tomorrow we'll get 'em.
