Stereophile

Has anyone else been having problems with receiving their subscription from Stereophile? 2 out of the last 3 months mine has not arrived, thus, forcing me to either wait for a month and have them send me another one or buy it at a news stand and receive credit.

It use to be that at least 1 time a year I would miss an issue. However, lately it more like 3 times a year. All of the other publications I receive are on time, which would include other desirable audio rags. Stereophile seems to think it is a mail delivery problem but I doubt it.

To there credit they have always complemented me with 2-3 issues for each one I purchased. Although, due to the increased inconsistancies I'm getting a little frustrated. Therefore, I'm trying to see if others are experiencing the same problems.

Thanks for your feedback!

Actually, I'm getting the mag 2-3 weeks earlier than I did a couple years ago.

wierd, but the last 2 issues i got had the pages printed on only one side. plus, the mag's name was changed to "monophile." thought this was just another manifestation of constantly changing publishers. maybe not, eh? --kelly

Cornfed, at least you did not get a copy of "point source" it is a totally blank sheet of paper with a small dot in the center. The dot cannot be decoded, it is just what it looks like, a period from a periodical.

You guys are TOO much : )

I've been getting my issues in better shape and earlier than i ever have. It almost seems like the folks that used to get them beaten up and late are now getting them in good shape and early & vice-versa. While i think this is great, i can understand why others would now be upset. Sean

I have EXACTLY the same problems!!! After calling I got the missing issue(s) delivered later.
Interesting was that after calling the next couple of issues were MORE THAN ON TIME!!! Funny, eh?
I tend to think it's because I am in Germany, but all the other subscriptions of American magazines like New Yorker, TAS, HAWAII and others are on time - always.
