Haven't seen it yet.
I'll be curious to see if it hits the game store before it hits my mailbox as this is one of the few things that REALLY bothers me about subscribing.

Yes, Erik, unless you happen to be a subscriber in country outside the USA in which case:
- best case, the magazine will arrive in about 8 weeks; or
- worst case, there is about a 33 1/3% chance that the magazine will arrive in 10-12 weeks... which is allowing for the subscriber to notice that the magazine has not arrived and then to contact customer service and ask for a replacement (which, I'm pleased to admit, are provided promptly).
Thank you for paying the US postal service to sit on the magazine before sending it (there can be no other explanation in this century for such delays).

I imagine the problem is that once the issues have left Paizo and gone to the shipper, there's not much Paizo can do about the speed in which they arrive. That being said, I know that they're working to see that subscribers get prompter (is that a word? Prompter, I barely know her!) delivery.

The thing is, this seems to be a very recent problem (excluding the tribulations of those outside the U.S.). I delayed renewing Dragon a couple of months ago and ended up missing an issue. With the last subscription, I usually recieved it a day or two before the FLGS. With the new subscription, I haven't recieved an issue less than a week after my FLGS has recieved it (and that includes my Dungeon subscription that was renewed after a longer hiatus).
It's such a drastic change, I've been wondering whether that's because Paizo changed it policy for shipping to distributors.

My sarcastic comment is more to make the point that there is no postal service in the world that I am aware of that is so slow. Even a parcel posted from India is more likely both to arrive and to arrive faster than whatever service Paizo is using.
And I know they're trying: I've been hearing this for the two years of my subscription. So, with Erik being "all ears", I've decided to keep mentioning this wee problem I keep having with my magazines arriving....
Anyway, I have only about four more issues to go on my subscription and then it will be back to the prompt and reliable FLGS!
