Re: Restorer Magazine
I concur on the cost of mailing! Overseas mail has jumped dramatically in the last year as well as first class mail.

The amount of mail to be delivered has fallen by a third since 2005, but the number of places that the mail has to be delivered has gone up. Salaries have gone up, gas, fuel and so on and so on have only gone up since 2005. Mail pieces, down Number of mail stops, up Expenses, up The US is still the cheapest country for the delivery of mail.

Re: Restorer Magazine
The difference in arrival times across the country could be based on the fact that the printer presorts and ships bundles to the PO based on ZIP codes. Another factor is that the PO has combined sorting centers and that can add time to delivery. If I send a letter to a neighbor down the street on Monday and the carrier picks it up after 3 PM, chances are it will arrive Thursday since it has to go to Albuquerque and then back.
Having own a mail order company, the PO is the greatest thing since sliced bread. An overnight FedEx package from Durango to San Diego cost me $93.00. The exact same package Priority Mail with two day delivery was $13.00

However to send the same weight package (500g or 17.64oz or less) the other direction, from Germany to the USA via the Deutsche Post, that only costs 3,45 Euro ($3.72 at today's exchange rate). As another example, to send that same small package with "Registered Mail" it costs $13.95 extra from the USA to Germany via the USPS. Going the other way, the same package sent as "Registered Mail" ("Einschreiben") cost only 2,15 Euro extra ($2.32 at today's exchange rate) via the Deutsche Post. Not sure how the German Deutsche Post is able to deliver their mail to the USA at more than 5 time less cost than it takes for the US Postal Service to deliver the mail to Germany....somehow the Deutsche Post seems to be able to stay in business despite their good value shipping rates! Keeping with the required Model A forum theme, this is obviously a USPS truck - no funding for maintanance! (MAFCA web page photo) Thank you Stewart for saving this truck with privatized funding Fordially, Brad in Germany |

I would pay an unseemly and ridiculous amount of money to own that mail truck.

Re: Restorer Magazine
Received mine today....good articles. If I was a member of the Alamo A's, I'd be hanging around the ladies who run their Fashion Dept!!!!!
I like The Restorer mag until I get to the end and then disappointment sets in every time when I start seeing all the As for sale and I say, I want that one and that one and that one and...might as well throw in that one too. Maybe someday both Sarah and I will be on the front cover driving down old Illinois Route 66 or 67, along the River Road or maybe even through a Calhoun County holler!!!! Ya never know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Restorer Magazine
This is my original Post. I still have NOT received my issue of the Restorer Magazine, here in Spartanburg, SC - as of November 16th. I even emailed the MAFCA office asking, if I am still on the members mailing list and did not even get a return response from them.
