Fred, for those who are waiting, there is an obvious disparity if one is waiting to see the ads and doesn't stand a chance when getting the magazine two weeks later than someone else. Has there been any thought to making all the sale/wanted ads that are in the magazine available on line for all to see at a time certain when each issue is due? Hear this complaint often at the meets? These are not the same as those posted on the Forum.

That is why I no longer subscribe to Hemmings Motor News. Even when I paid for first class mail when I would call about an ad I was told it was sold to someone in the midwest or east coast a week ago.

Still, nothing in central Indiana on Tuesday the 15th??? Why the disparity in delivery times? Is there a disparity in the mailing times?

My magazine arrived in California, 94402, on 3-15. I always go to the back for sale section immediately on the hope I still have a chance at something that I need.

Mine has still not made it to TN.

Got mine today in SF.
First Class mailing was one of my pet peeves before I got on the BOD. "Supposedly" there were previous investigations on 1st Class mailings; the cost, and the results. Well, now I can say that the previous BOD did investigate, and so has the current BOD, and Editorial Staff. All the mags are sent from the printer at exactly the same time. They are then at the mercy of the Postal system. Fellow BOD member Ricky Najera lives about 5 blocks away from me (about one glass of wine away when walking), and we sometimes vary up to a full 4 weeks when our magazines arrive. It has always been that way.
The only garantee that 1st Class mailing will fullfill is a much higher cost, and "maybe" a random recievership date a day earlier than we enjoy now. I wouldn't believe any of this if I wasn't so involved myself, and see it with my own eyes now.

Received my Spring Issue in Orlando, zip 34787, March 15th. That's more than a week after the first reports in this thread; making the choice want-ad "for sales" about useless to me.

Nice book, tho. Congratulations to the Editor and crew! It's, as always, a beautiful job!

March 16th, still nothing in Kentucky, what horrible service, guess I am just impatient, but Sarge is right the add section is useless

[Chris Haynes]

Why can't the classifieds be on the web site as other clubs have them there? That way everybody has access to them on the same day.
PS Still no magazine in Los Angeles.

As my dad used to say: "maybe the postman is a slow reader"!

Obviously they don't mail them ALL on the same day.

I've been told that the pallets all leave the printer at the same time!
We are soon to change to new printer, who is more centrally located in the country I believe. Hopefully this will help even things out?
