Received my gifted copy of the September issue here in Toronto on Tuesday of last week, the 3rd of October. I thank the FTer who is providing this subscription as part of their "Starquest".

This is one of the problems with INSIDE FLYER and the reason after subscribing for many, many years, I let my subscription lapse. As much as I want(ed) to help Randy's business thrive, this delivery issue -- and instant availability of much of each issue on the web -- made me become a lapsed IFer.

Issues consistently arrived more than a month from the cover date, and even when the Colorado Springs office sent me a specially handled, first class issue, these took two weeks to get from Colorado to Edmonton, Alberta where I was living at the time.

IF has tried all sorts of delivery methods to get the magazine to us in Canada. They used to use a mailing service which posted the mags from Windsor, Ontario. I noticed this issue which arrived last week came from a Jamaica NY postal outlet.

I don't know if it is the US or Canadian post office that delays these copies?

All I do know is this is nothing new, and I am not sure it is Randy's fault the problem persists.
