[Qcwa] Summer 2003 Journal

[John and Linda Miller]

Well, I got mine!   It arrived on June 9 and, as usual, in good shape.

Others around me have yet to get their copy and all of us have no 
clue.  Some of us may need to wait a full month, giving all the sacks a 
chance to be emptied and processed in accordance with their priority at the 
delivering USPS facility.

Some years ago the date of receipt for a monthly amateur magazine was 
varying wildly, so I obtained monthly mailing date information for my area 
from the publisher for the previous 12 months.   With this data I visited 
the local USPS Delivery Superintendent.  The response was not too customer 
oriented!  Next, I visited with the local Postmaster and was disappointed 
in the body language, lack of eye contact, not to mention the absence of 
reasonable, believable information.

So I immediately filed a delivery complaint with the Postal Inspection 
Service having cognizance over my delivery area.

Now, for some reason, the delivery of this mag is well within tolerance!

The OOTC emails their quarterly journal in Adobe to those of us who prefer 
to file it on a Zip disk or CD instead of a shelf, as well as those who 
read it and delete it.  I get mine by email well before the printed version 
comes off the press, let alone is delivered by USPS.  Besides, the email 
version is in full and glorious color!
