Hopefully it's waiting at the PO, got my new Motor Trend last week. MR and Trains usually arrive the first week of the month, for the next month. Seems advanced to me, the January issue is the Christmas issue. My main complaint is that most of my magazines come at once, leaving little to read in between. I'm just now getting to the articles I just scanned over the summer, June to now. Haven't bought any new products since getting my Atlas RS5's in N.

My subscription copy of the December issue of MRR dropped through my letterbox (sorry..mailbox) here in the UK earlier this week. Looking at the dates that some of you guys received your copies it does not seem to make any difference whether you live in the US or across the pond!!

How the system works I do not know - the address lable shows DHL Global Mail (which I think is owned by Deutsche Post) as the carrier but the Royal Mail handles local delivery here in the UK. A few years ago subscription copies went seamail (and when I lived in Japan) took upto six weeks to arrive so the current system is little less than fantastic!! Unbelievable in fact!! Long may it continue!!

I usually get it around the 5th of the month. It's been pretty consistent. I'm guessing that it sits around for a while in one of the USPS's processing facilities here in the Bay Area.
