Is anyone elses July issue of MR seem to be a little late?
My issues are always late. I live 25 minutes at the most from them. I have been told that its not Kalmbachs fault because they are shipped frm the printers. which i believe is Quad Graphics in Lomira Wi not sure how right that last part is. I always seem to get mine just after the local Walmart gets theres isnt that great?
I feel your pain.
I recieved mine today. Sometimes it arrives a few days before the end of the month, other times a few days into the new month.
I haven’t got May! [:(!]
well you guys are lucky i dont get, for example the may issue until around the 14th of june, It doesn’t help living In Australia but 5 weeks to get here…

I haven’t got mine yet but I can ditto birddogman; there can be a twelve day swing on delivery from one month to the next. Now if you really want to see a screwed up delivery schedule subscribe to something from Hundman; my latest CTC Board/Railroads Illustrated has a cover date of February. What month is this???
Anticipation is 90% of the pleasure.[:-^]
It also could have a lot to do with the postal service. My mom lives three miles
from us and she sent a sympathy card to Nancy(her aunt passed last week) and
it arrived post marked “Mobile, Al”. So, this card left my mom’s house and
traveled sixty miles to Mobile only to be shipped back to our house… three
miles from it’s starting point… figure that one out.[%-)] Dave
EDIT: Oh yeah, I don’t subscribe, but my LHS always has the new issues well
in advance of the cover date. Dave
Not yet in Ottawa, Canada. I usually get mine early, long before anyone posts a question like this.
Yup, mine also seems really late this month. Hopefully it will come today.
Late here, too. And, you know, it’s not like I live in Alaska or Australia :)!
For about the last year my MRs have shown up two days before the end of the month just about religiously. Before that, however, for the longest time they came on the 2-5 day of the month preceeding the cover date (i.e. a week later than recently). But so far no July 2006 issue here yet.
Dave9999 relates a strange routing story but I’ve got a better one. A letter mailed from about 50 miles away from my home got all the way to the regional sorting center 15 miles way. Then it went on a long journey, ending up cancelled in St. Louis, before coming to me!

A clue to when it has mailed is when they put the new cover on the main page of www.modelrailroader.com. When you see that, you know it’s on the way.
My arrived this past Thursday.
Mine arrived yesterday. Have yet to read either model railroader or trains. phil
Mine just arrived five minutes ago!!!
Well, lets see; today’s the third of June; my mail hasn’t come yet today but I expect it to arrive either today or Monday. I usually receive the next month’s issue around the first of the month.
i got mine today, didnt know it was here was out fishing. Good article on making signals and bridges.
Came yesterday which is about when I usually get mine.
Enjoy

My MR (and my Trains also) showed up in the mailbox today. They usually get here on the same day; I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times in the last year or two when that hasn’t been true and one of those was when an issue got lost and Kalmbach had to send me a replacement.
Already looking forward to the August issue!!!
