No Sky & Telescope

Hi all,
I have not received my Sky&Telescope for Oct 2005. Has anybody
(subscribers) received theirs?

There seems to be a big variation in delivery dates, in the last year it ranged from between the 22nd two months before the cover date to the 17th one month before the cover date.

Nope, I haven't got mine yet either.

just got mine on Wednesday . . . I actually sent Sky & T. a mail because I thought my subscription had expired and was checking if I needed to renew. The delivery dates have definitely got very slipshod since they switched to using the distribution company in France.

did you go up to the Chandra lecture in Belfast John ?

Havent gotten mine either. There was a similar delay with A&S apparantly it was posted last friday, I received mine (A&S) this morning. A&S are checking with an post to see what's going on. I'll let you know what they come back with.

I got mine during the week.
However, it is annoying when they make a mess of their deliveries. It's happened twice to me in the last two years. They'd want to sort it out if they intend keeping subscribers.

In fairness to S&T. I think its an an post problem. Considering A&S had the same issues. Apparantly the sorting is now done in portlaoise, so the mail from dublin (for example) arrives in dublin, is sent to portlaoise for sorting and then sent back to Dublin. There really needs to be a sorting office in all the major cities, crazy stuff really.

I know a thing or two about an post (my wife used to work for them) and I could tell you stories that would make your hair stand on end!
