Where's my FINESCALE?

Posted by doc-hm3 on Thursday, October 30, 2008 10:46 PM

This I'm sure has come up before, BUT! How come the mag reaches the newstands and local Hobby Shops and are in the hands of non-subscribers before us whom have laid done our cash ahead of time? I get a little tired of going to friends homes and seeing it laying down already read and the rest of us having to wait. You would think that subscribers issues would be shipped first.

I shall now step down.

All gave some and some gave all.

Probably due to your local postal service. Because here in the Chicagoland I still have yet to get my issue, due to the postal service. But it doesn't suprise me, since it takes almost a week to get a letter from the next door neighbor.

Hence the monicker, "snail mail"

I tell ya, I really do not understand the USPS. I live in central WI, and mail from Waukesha (FSM headquarters, about 90 miles away) takes a week. But, I got a birthday card this week from a friend in the UK and it obly took three days to get here! Their postal system must be lightning quick, but I still don't understand 3 days unless they are air-dropping stuff to my neighbors house and it takes them time to carry it to my mailbox!
