MR Subscription Woes

My experience with MR subscriptions has been completely the opposite of the horror stories I've read here. I subscribed on-line in very late December and received the February issue in less than a week. The magazine was plastic wrapped and in perfect shape. Technically this was a new subscription but I've subscribed on and off several times in the last 11 years. <br /> <br />The source of the problem for those who are experiencing such things as unwrapped and/or damaged issues appears to be the local or regional branch of the USPS. Kalmbach ships all subscriptions to the post office for delivery. The plastic wrap is applied by Kalmbach's printers. Any damage that ocurrs is the result of poor handling or mechanical problems with the sorting equipment at the post office, not with Kalmbach. I think the first complaint should go to the local postmaster's. It is their contractual responsibility to deliver mail in good, original condition. The issues that were de-bagged and sticky labeled sounds like someone is "pre-enjoying" those before delivering them?
