My mail delivery has been exceptional. I have not notice any change in service since the virus became a thing.

I haven't got April's issue yet.  But, due to the lock down here in Germany, it may be in my mailbox on Post. I don't know.  Hopefully, I will receive the April and May issue s soon.

Assuming Quad Graphics continues to be Kalmbach's printer, and I think they do, they have furloughed some staff and temporarily shut down some facilities but I'd think they'd do all they can to keep performing for a solid, on-going and long term customer such as Kalmbach.  

And MR and Trains could both be considerably delayed by weeks and weeks and they'd still be reaching us well before the month stated on the magazine cover!  (When I started subscribing to MR in the mid 1960s the timing was much closer).

Actually some of my deliveries are fast and some a bit on the slow side.  It's a mixed bag.

If you are asking about May MR, I got mine some time ago.  Locally there has been a report of a couple neighborhoods not geting any mail delivery for a  week or two, but that's rare.

actually what i have found is that delivery is quite a bit quicker due to the reduced overall volume of mail, both incoming and outgoing

Just wondering if delivery is slow because of the virus?
