Flathead Ted..............

Please see post #13 above. That will assist you in solving your issue.

I have assisted Graham.

FlatheadTed · 03-16-2022, 10:49 PM

Thank you ,

Graham Freeman · 03-16-2022, 11:45 PM

All sorted now Bruce, many thanks.
Still do not know why I received 2 copies of the same issue?

This does not explain it, but maybe makes you scratch your head even more.

I received two copies of the Spring 2022 issue of Classic Trains this past month.

Checked the mailing labels on both -- exactly the same. Sent off an email to Customer Service and have not gotten a reply.

Gave the extra issue to a friend who enjoys the steam era of railroading.

I guess that eliminates the USPS screwing up on this one.

DavidG · 03-17-2022, 02:11 PM

Not screwing up, but a party to it nonetheless. When the embargo is put into force, the mail in the system is sent back to its origin, which in this case is to the printer. When the embargo is then lifted, in this case the printer, rather than the regular mailing service used, sends out the magazines once again. That explains the different envelope and why some may receive two copies as what is received back when the embargo is implemented is not considered reliable enough to ensure that everyone in the affected countries will receive at least one copy.

Graham Freeman · 03-17-2022, 02:53 PM

In the meantime I have passed the 2nd copy off to a potential new member and hope he likes and joins up.
Thanks Guys.

Graham,
In the meantime, I'm rooting for New Zealand's 'END GAME' to repeat and win the "GIANT NUT" again in the BATTLEBOT competition....

Graham Freeman · 03-18-2022, 09:28 PM

And just to top it off the Jan / Feb issue arrived today.

mercman from oz · 03-20-2022, 08:39 PM

Just letting you know that my Nov/Dec V8 Times arrived in todays mail - 21 March 2022. I hope that I don't have to wait as long for the Jan/Feb Issue.

koates · 03-21-2022, 12:36 AM

Wow, at last my NOV/DEC V8 Times arrived today March 21 same as mercman, but its in a white envelope marked First Class International and postage cost of US $12.20. Normally in a yellow envelope Marked International Priority Airmail. One can only wait and hope. Regards, Kevin.

DavidG · 03-21-2022, 07:40 AM

koates,

See #29 above.

kirkf · 03-21-2022, 09:34 PM

I think everyone had better get on board with the digital issue, because with club membership declining and the cost to produce that magazine, its just a matter of time until the print issue is about as available as a bob drake reproduction.

Graham Freeman · 03-22-2022, 01:10 AM

Well Trevor & Kevin above expect your Jan/Feb issue in the next few days if its in keeping with mail to NZ.
