Has everyone pretty much received this issue?

I started my subscription a few weeks ago, so I don't know if it starts with this issue or the next one. When I go to the website, it says my last issue is the July 2008 issue. So I think I should be receiving this issue.

In any case, I haven't received it yet. Does it generally take a long time to get to the west coast?

I would contact Customer Service & get the scoop !!

Thanks, John

Got mine today, as usual 24 hours after the first CTT's arrive.  I haven't had a chance to read any of the articles yet, but there are a bunch of building manufacturers listed in there this time around.  Also picked up the latest issue of OGR from my LHS.

It came!!!  Maybe that was why the mail was so late coming today.  Had all those CTT magazines to deliver in Roseyville. Laugh [(-D]  Should my first proclamation as Mayor be: All Roseyville residents have to subscribe to CTT? Wink [;)]Whistling [:-^]

No CTT, but I did get my TCA Quarterly! Smile [:)]

Mine will probably get here in a few days due to USPS forwarding...

The finer things in life come to those who wait... I told this to Susan a few weeks ago... I said that makes her one lucky woman! Laugh [(-D]

I have the same experience.  For whatever reason, I get CTT within a day or two of folks reporting receiving their issues here on the forum.  My OGR magazine arrives about 4 weeks after folks report receiving their issue on the OGR forum.  I suspect that CTT and OGR use different classes of postal service.
