NASCAR Scene?

Did it print last week? How come the hell whenever Harvick wins it doesn't come or comes a week late? I still haven't gotten the Loudon issue, and my subscription hasn't expired.
 
Yes, it printed. I didn't get mine until Saturday -- it usually comes on Thursday. It's been as late as Tuesday. There have been a few times I've had to call and have them send me one.

I kind of think it happens with the mail here too - Charles County is the worst. I don't get mine until Thursday regurally and don't get TIME til Thursday so... I got it on Saturday a few weeks ago but this is straight up b.s.
 
As a mailman, let me throw in my reasoning here as I can see blaming the old post office in this mess. I don't know the size of the market that either of you live in, but today, second class publications don't carry the same weight they once did. That means not just as they are sitting in the PO, but also in the shipping which is not done by the post office, but rather private contractors. I only know that for me, it takes me a couple of days to read the Scene before I deliver it and I try to vary the copies from one person to another so the same guy doesn't get his late each week. But seriously, this is just one of the problems that my employer is having but what's a person to do? You can try to get private dilivery for the magazine (there are companies that do that...only first class mail is regulated to only be delivered by the USPS) but people have found that the private companies that deliver door to door publications aren't reliable and if you don't want your magazines treated as the newspaper is, i.e. on your doorstep or the front lawn, you really don't have much choice. Good luck in the future.

It's not just those though. Our mail carrier is also very partisan, every time TIME has Bush on the front cover, the magazine comes torn up and ripped. :XXROFL:
