The office says they get it out in time but then it is in the
printers hands. The way I understand it is that the printers mail it from
there. Of course, after that, it is in the hands of our post office. Don't
get me started on THAT! I
While I agree the PO seems to
have numerous problems, I find it hard to believe that people all over the
country seem to get the EN late, yet receive other magazines on time. If
it were an issue relating to the book rate or mass mailing wouldn't all our
magazines be late? I suspect it is the printer, probably a small office
can only handle so many mags a day. But then, wouldn't you think they would go
into the mail alphabetically, in which case B for Baker would at least be on
time.
I haven't decide if I am going to dig into this further or not,
its not like I have the time to be a magazine detective or anything, I really
need to be getting ready for the SETC conference in July.
I called the
national office a couple of days ago, when I had not rec'd my EN, someone
called me back the next day and left a message on my VM telling me to fill out
some sort of a consumer concern postcard from the PO. Of course, you know what
a hassle it is going to the PO, but will fill out the little card and try to
figure this out. Let me know if you come up with any answers.
