[QUOTE="soulcat, post: 2080635, member: 22304"] Okay, I work for a print and mailing house in the UK. So, I know a bit about mailing out subscription mags (we do daily,weekly, monthly, quartely and yearly publications). Heres the skinny: -We always do the dailys first. They are high priority. -The Weeklies get there own special slots on the macines, that can meen taking other jobs off (can't afford to lose that custom). -The monthlies get done once a month, not always before the expected delivery date. We don't always inform the vendor that we are sending it out late (it depends on how late we are sending it, or how payment is set up). If we can get away with a few days (max a week) delay in sending it, then we keep quiet, especially when we are busy. -Quarterly and yearlys get done when they get done! When they leave us, they get taken away by the postal service, pre sorted, and if we do our paperwork right they get sent. If we do our paper work wrong, at best they hold it till we correct it, at worst they return it to us and we have to resend it. Then you are at the mercy of the postal service. We quite often (in our deliveries of empty mailing sacks) find undelivered mail. With the volume of mail being handled by the Mailing services around the world, I hate to imagine the amount that just gets LOST. Obviously with the number of complaints about Dungeon and Dragon there are other problems, but before now, due to machine breakdowns, paper work errors and just plain mistakes, we have sent weekly publications out up to 4 days late. If we'll do that to weekly publications, imagine what can happen to Monthly ones. OF course I am not going to name the mailing house I work for, and I am not trying to tell you that all are like ours, but Royal Mail (the british postal service) have told us repeatedly that we are one of the better ones!!!!!! Not all of the Problems can be put at the feet of Paizo. And on the subject of sending to Israel? Since 9-11 it has not been economically viable for our company to send Big mailings to America and the UK is one of America's strongest allies. We deal with an american company that does the majority of that for us. Imagine what it's like sending from America to the middle east? I pity anyone sending anything from the middle east to america.
