FAO Autocar subscribers (and other Haymarket subscribers)

[J500ANT]

I used to get my Autocar in the post on a Monday or a Tuesday :clap: so its not late and I save some money.

For the past month its been arriving on a Thursday (if at all), which is a PIA. In addition I had some girl ring me "your subscription has expired would you like a new one?" to which I replied that the mags delivery was so useless I wasnt sure I wanted to subscribe again. Next day Autocar pops through the door. I sent an email, "subscriptions never really expire, we just renew them automatically on DD" so wasn't pleased about that :nono: as if i'd agreed it'd have been a duplicate subscription.

Anyway, the main thing is, does anyone else get their Autocar late?

Stuart Forrest was publisher of Autocar and used to be an active PH member but I can't find him in the directory now. I think he's moved on to be publisher of Classic + Sports car anyway.

Have a look in the front of Autocar and send the new publisher an email if you can find the address. They like to hear about things like this and can put a trace on the mag to see what's causing the delay. I had a similar problem, but I'm an overseas subscriber.

He is involed with Motor Sport and posts on Atlas F1/Nostalgia Forum.

My Autocar subscription usually plops onto the doormat on Tuesday (public hloidays aside) but occaisionally it's a two or three day wait. 52 weeks in a year, approx 45 are bang on time. I can live with that.

Coincidentally, the October Motor Sport dropped onto my doormat about five minutes ago.

90% of the time it arrives on Tuesday. And thats in London where the post gets lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, burned etc by the post office

I get Autosport, and F1 Racing, as F1 Racing is a monthly publication I have no idea when it is due to arrive, or whether it is late.

However with Autosport in the old house all of 1/2 mile away it always used to arrive on a Thursday. Since moving 12 months ago it has fiailed to arrive at all on 4 occasions, and recently has taken to arriving on a Friday.

autocar nearly always arrives on tuesday (90%), sometimes weds (9%) i have only had one not come at all and one come on a thursday in 18mths at current address.

evo on the other had. don't get me started. put it this way my local sorting office should start a barbers the number of those they neglect to deliver.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt in that case, see if it goes back to normal.

Thanks for all your input
