Issue 62?

Anyone got theirs yet?

Just wondering whether to expect it when I get home?

Bought mine in WH Smiths last night

Nothing this morning

went flop on the mat this morning.

Quick peak now suggests: a sweep stake on who the “unnamed industry insider” is. Cant be Brant, too many 4+ syllable words; UR BIK IZ SARACIN; Niner Air9 pornucopia; riding with the Cosa Nostra; ads; STW Towers favourite freebies; pics of northern wetness.

plus ça change

It better be on my mat when I get home – saw it in Tesco this morning. What are the advantages of being a subber?

sort of how i feel too, i’m not even bothered by the ‘clean’ cover. Post has been slow recently in defence.

Does the quality or value of the content decrease if someone else reads it before you?

you can’t look through a pile of mags to find a specific review/article as the contents don’t appear on the cover 🙁

Im not holding my breath
No post at all now for 15 days
…and we had very little snow in comparison to other areas

Innit.

But you do get to look at cover pictures that have been selected because they have big boring areas where headlines would go nicely, so stop grumbling.

Been thawed here for a week and post still unusually poor.

Perhaps the depot is still under 10ft though.

got it in last night.

tis good.

Not appeared at Loco HQ 👿

Mine arrived this morning 8)

No.

If you stump up cash in advance as a subscriber and are told ‘get it before the shops do’ should that not happen?

Where does it say you get it earlier?

not got mine,but whsmiths have,i like how been a subscriber works.

In the 3rd paragraph[/url]

my subscription was free so i’m not complaining!!

Really must remember to cancel my subs when this issue arrives as it pretty much goes unread most issues. In fact I’m cancelling my dd now. Goes off to log into bank account…….done.

Hi all!
Sim and I worked all through the other weekend to make sure that we got the magazine to the printers on the correct day (for the first time in about five years.) This meant that the mag was printed the day it was supposed to be in order to get it on sale today.
Subscription copies were posted on Tuesday this week, with the trade copies held back in order to make sure that subscribers got them first.

We can’t control the postal service unfortunately, but we do all we can to make sure that subs copies arrive before the shop ones. Short of couriering all the subs copies (which we do with the shop copies) we can’t guaranteed that.

Being a subscriber does give you big discounts in our shop and in many other places around the country – 10% of whole bikes in some cases, so it’s not all bad.

As for leafing through issues to find the contents you’re after, we have a fantastic Mag Archive just up at the top of the page there. That’s what I use (even though I have a stack of copies on my desk) 🙂

While I agree about dodgy deliveries I have to wonder what Royal Mail are doing with mine. If they were posted Tuesday, I still havent had mine despite there being deliveries for the last three days at least. I can only assume they don’t see mags as a priority in the rush to get the bills to my door.

It is now Saturday and still no sign of 62. I have just been for my lunchtime roast pork sarnie and even the local newsagent has got his copies. Every issue about this time I have the same rant to self,’That’s it, I’m cancelling the subscription and get the mag at the shop’. Of course once the mag comes I forget until next issue when I begin the whole process over again!

Mine hasn’t come yet. Mind you, I haven’t read the last couple yet so no worries.

Not got mine despite having post every day but one bad day last week. ah well some be Christmas 😉

Mine hasn’t arrived yet either…..

No sub copy here yet either … in the scheme of things it really doesn’t matter to me, as I’ve been a subscriber since day 1 and timeliness isn’t why I subscribe, but maybe it’s better not to make the ‘get your copy first’ promise to subscribers as then there’s no unmet expectation to be dealing with. 😉

Na nowt here in the North of Scotland yet either, but im putting it down to the posties being very busy with all the Christmas stuff and blaming it on the weather too. Monday most likely i hope 😉

Still no subs copy here either though i notice our local WHS has had it for the past couple of days!

No subs copy here either (though it took Rouleur 10 days from the alleged posting date to show up); can’t really be blamed on the weather as #61 came after the shop copies were out too. Not bothered about getting it in advance of shop copies, but at the same time would be nice.

The mag came off the printer on Monday and all subs copies were collected by RM on Tuesday. Shop copies were held back for collection from our printer until Wednesday. They are collected by TNT who start the newstrade distribution process that takes two days. The bikeshop copies are held back until Thursday and are collected by UPS and delivered on a next day service to reach shops on Friday. That’s the process and priority in that process is always given to subscribers. We can’t get them into the hands of RM any quicker and we already hold the rest of the supplies back in order to allow subscribers to get theirs first.

That said alarms go off with RM if less then 96% of copies are not delivered in three days. That’s not happened so I can only assume that 96% of subs copies have arrived by Friday. That said 4% (If that’s what it turns out to be) still represents several hundred subs copies.

But on behalf of Singletrack I apologise if your subs copy has not yet been delivered by RM.

Not arrived here, but I’m not getting my knickers in a twist about it or anything.

Everything seems to be taking an age to arrive (apart from CRC, but they use parcelforce I think).

Time Out usually comes on Weds and no sign of that either.

nothing in my local library i mean WHSmiths. Why cant people buy the magazines instead of a free read on a saturday morning

My copy isn’t here either. But in all the time I’ve been a subscriber its alway landed very very early. Given crap weather and Christmas post, think I can cut you some slack this time. Better be good mind 🙂

No sign of my subs copy here yet – this is the first time in 62 issues it’s been late. Apart from the one that never turned up at all.

another member of the 4% club here.

not too fussed though (used to it) 😉
saves me leaving the house too.

Not got mine either. I don’t mind too much as I ration it out over a few days rather than all in one sitting.

no sign here either 😥

fingers crossed for Monday c’mon postie 😉

None here but the mail has been stop and start for a while now, first with the A9 problems a few weeks back then the more recent temporary ice age stopping everything in it’s tracks. Monday…

Another one in the club here in Leeds, made worse by the fact that you guys were teasing me by selling them at the picture house last night!!
Cheeky bu??ers 🙄
