Yes, about 1 and 1/2 or 2 weeks ago.

Maybe the Mailman is reading it. Never know?

Have not got my NOV.DEC V8 Times yet in Australia. Not really worth the money to be a member anymore as it costs twice the amount that USA members pay. Regards, Kevin.

Get the digital membership for U.S.$30 and avoid the premium to cover the ever-escalating costs of mailing the hard copies internationally. All the benefits are the same.

David, Thanks but I am well aware of that but considering I have paid 3 years in advance for membership and paper magazine, then I expect to get it in a reasonable time considering all the covid and mail delivery issues. I am an older fellow nearly like you and much prefer a paper magazine than the other electronic. Regards, Kevin.

In answer to the original question, yes, got it. But, what I thought was interesting, it was only a couple weeks previous that I got the Nov/Dec magazine. Where was Nov/Dec, as it showed up about the third week of Jan?

As always, meaningful answers to these recurring questions as to what happens to the magazines once they are delivered to USPS in Jefferson City, MO, USA cannot be expected to be found here or on any other forum or public source of information.

The early Ford V-8 Club has a website, maybe ask this question there.

Growing up our mailman lived one street over from us, he said he didn’t need to subscribe to any car magazines caused he would deliver them after he read it.

Re: V-8 Times
 

In this particular instance, USPS is not a part of the problem as the printing of the Jan-Feb issue has been delayed. With respect to those above, no has received the Jan-Feb issue yet.

I called their office today...reported to be publisher problem but Times magazines were sent out today.

Re: V-8 Times
 

I find the digital copy is not very user friendly. Find the email, log in, open the magazine, and after turning each page and increasing its size so that you can read it and then go to the next page and have to increase the size again and move it all around to see different parts of the page. Just a pain in the butt. I will have the user friendly paper magazine please when I get it that is. Still waiting for NOV-DEC 2021 issue. I have emailed Cornerstone Registration but I guess they are too busy to reply to me. Regards, Kevin.

No Nov/Dec here in NZ yet.

Most of the issues with the magazine not arriving timely or at all are due the the US Postal Dis-service. Take it easy on the club, the magazine and it's staff. It's the fault of the Post Office.

DavidG 02-18-2022 01:23 PM

Re: V-8 Times
 

I guess some remain unaware of the restrictions/limitations on mail inbound into their countries. I note that the postal system in one of them went to red alert on January 26th with further delays of mail deliveries expected.

Wrong again. The club takes advantage of a special periodical mailing rate that saves a lot of money, but gives up service, especially during times of stress (like lately). If anyone is to blame, it's the members because they are averse to paying a membership fee that would support First Class mailing of the magazines.

I agree with Tubman! Stay Safe!

Cut me some slack. My wife tells me I'm wrong everyday.
