Please get to us the Times on time. trjford8 01-01-2010 @ 6:23 PM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 4219 Joined: Oct 2009 Johm. please read the below post titled "Missing V-8 Times". You will find that your mailing information is not correct. The V-8 Times was not mailed out until Dec.8th. In this post the editor states they were not mailed out until the 8th. They may have gone to the printer before Thanksgiving, but that timing has no effect on when they were mailed. I live in California and did not get my Times until Dec. 23. I understand your frustration , but once the Post Office has them the club has no control.

As of January sixth the November/December issue has still not gotten to us here in Ilderton Ontario, which is about 100 miles east of Detroit. Nonetheless it's a fantastic magazine which is well worth the wait.......the only disadvantage to late arrival is that any super deals in the classified ads will likely already be sold. v8teditor 01-08-2010 @ 7:12 PM reply profile send p.m. New Member Posts: 146 Joined: Dec 2009 I checked with the printer and for some unknown reason, the November/December issue Canadian magazines were sent surface instead of air. They promise to send them via air from now on. However, believe it or not, they will be sent from Missouri to France and then back to Canada! The printer told me there are only TWO ways to send these to Canada - ground or air. By air they are sent as a single package to France and then back individually. Go figure. But since they are to be sent by air, I guess this is what has to happen to get them there in a timely manner. So the next issue may have a postmark from France! Anyway the Board will be discussing this in February at their face-to-face meeting.

If that information is correct it's no wonder the US postal system is such a mess. That makes less than no sense. Mail sent from Canada to the US doesn't go to Mexico first. WTH? I still don't have my issue yet.

Your government has always been very restrictive on imports from the U.S. Alan Alan trjford8 01-10-2010 @ 7:06 PM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 4219 Joined: Oct 2009 As I recall, mail that goes outside the U.S. is handled by a contract agency and not the USPS. As a former V-8 Club board member we dealt am lot with this situation. The V-8 Times is a "little fish in a big pond" so we don't have a lot of leverage in dealing with the USPS or outside mail contractors.
