Do you guys get your Shotgun news in the mail?
I think I have to wate until my Mail Man is dun with it. Sometimes i dont even get it.
Maybe the post master is reading it.  I know it is the same old thing in every copy, but i payed for it and i want it, un read.  
Do any of you have this problem ?

My SGNs usually arrive on time but recently an issue of Small Arms Review (SAR) arrived in a plain white envelope with no return address, a simple white label with a spelling error in the address, and NO POSTAGE markings or stamp of any kind!

What'cha think?

My Midway catalogues always come read, if they are in bags the bags are open. If they were sealed the seal is broken, and you can tell they have been flipped through.....

Ah well

I used to have problems like that with my SGN when the original company owned it. I would call them and they would send another issue or extend my subscibtion by an issue. Since the new company took over I haven't had the problem.

Sounds to me like somebody is "previewing" [;)] your [i]Small Arms Review[/i] KEA. Has never happened to me, or my issues of Midways catalogs.

Well, a few stories. Years age my mom worked at the Providence post office as a short order cook & evening manager. She had quite a few stories about what the postal employees would do at night. For example; one crew had a rotation for sleeping on mail sacks. Another crew was well known for reading magazines. Some of these individuals would really trash the magazine with coffee & other food items. A few government employees would try to flim flam her at the cash register over a 15 cent cup of coffee. Now this was all 30 years ago so maybe things have changed. I can say that when they found out I was serving is the Army (69-71) they would ship my care packages real fast over seas. I hope they took care of the other guys too.

[i]Most[/i] of what people take to be having their magazines opened and read is a result of the mechanized sorting process.
Not at all unusual for an item to have its seals damaged and be at least partially opened.
I'm talking magazines and newspapers here; sealed envelopes either survive with their seals intact, or are virtually shredded.
I don't doubt that some magazines are read, but it [i]is[/i] against the rules, and the reader can and will be disciplined.
