If you subscribe to GP (and you're in Canada) when do you usually receive the latest issue?
I'm having problems with my subscription and I'm trying to determine where the problem is: US side, Canadian distributor (Bleuchip International) or my local mail carrier (I suspect it's local). I subscribed back in September or October, and my subscription was supposed to start with the December issue. With all my other magazine subcriptions, I get the next month's issue around the end of the month, before it hits newsstands. I remember getting the December 2005 GP in December, well after it was on newsstands. Didn't think too much of it until January came and went and I didn't get anything in the mail. Wrote up GP's subscription department in mid-February to complain, they said I should have received both January AND February, and to take it up with my local carrier. Called Canada Post to complain, couple of weeks later I get a call from the local supervisor giving me some spiel about how they deliver everything as they get it, they'll make sure it's delivered, blah blah blah. A week later (this is still mid February) I get both the February AND March issue. February is late but March is early (I think). Alright, that's all sorted out now (GP sent me a replacemnent for January) but now it's well into March, the April issue is on newsstands, and nothing in the mail.
FYI I have one of those community mailboxes where a single carrier comes around and puts everything into a bunch of boxes. Spoke to my neighbours, nothing's been delivered to them when it shouldn't have been - and that rarely happens, plus they're good about it when it does.
