Which issue are you waiting for?

Mine always comes the 29th, 30th or 31st. Is that what you are waiting for?

OR are you waiting for the next month's issue?

If you have a problem getting your issues, scroll to the bottom of the page here, and click the contact us button and tell them you haven't gotten yours yet.

But if you ar just ":jonesing" for the next issue, you just have to be patient, grasshopper...

I see folks talking on here about getting there issue long before I get mine.  I got my June issue about a week back, so yours is definitely late.  Have you sent an email to the editor asking about this?  That should be the first thing you should do.

"Customer Service" on the menu bar below is what you want.

Good Luck

Received my June copy on the 26 th of last month. I'm about 65 miles S.W. of Chicago.

Wadda ya mean I'm old ? Just because I remember gasoline at 9 cents a gallon and those big coal burning steamers.

Have you sent an email to the editor asking about this?

Editors have nothing to do with distribution. Use the customer service link, as others have suggested.

I was just saying "Talk to someone", don't complain about it here as you are accomplishing nothing.  I am absolutely positive that sending a note to the editor, he would either re-direct my email, tell me who to get in touch with; or, call the appropriate people about my problem.  So, he most certainly can help me out!

What kind of garbage is this?  I'm only trying to help the O.P.  What have you, that have criticized my help, done for him?  This is the petty stuff that makes coming here to help, feel like a worthless waste of time!

A call to Kalmbach's customer service line yields very rapid results - 1-800-533-6644.  In my experience, their service is without peer.

I had a similiar problem after hurricane Sandy.  I called customer service about 2 weeks later.  They asked me to wait another week as some were finally getting though.  A week later I called again this time they sent a second copy in a plastic wrapper.  About 2 weeks afterward the original arrived.  Guess it was sitting in the Post Office while theyt cleared the backlog.

Hmmm. Intersting discussion. I don't suppose it would help to observe that, ever since I went digital, my copy is delivered right to my tablet on about the 20th of the month.  Haven't missed one yet (15 months).

Nope, not when what you want is the physical copy of the magazine.

Never had a problem getting my issues. Actually, I get them pretty quickly. I was still reading May's issue when June's arrived. Same with my Trains magazine issues. I am old school and prefer paper in my hand when it comes to books and magazines. As others have already pointed out, contact someone at model railroader and I am sure they will help you get it sorted out. Good luck.

I came to the realization that, this is the current issue yesterday. I already had it and was a month ahead. Dunce get your laughs in now!
