Did you receive the January issue of MRR yet?
Posted by iwander on Monday, December 7, 2015 11:32 AM

Just for curiosity sake when did you receive Jan. issue. Every month the mag arrives at a different date unlike all (5) of my other mags. List your date and location just in case delivery is like Santa's from east to west.

Thanks in advance for the info.

Nope.  I got Trains, which usually arrives on the same day as MR. *EDIT* I got mine the next day after this post.

I also usually get my MR and Trains on the same day. This month MR didn't come and I checked with Kalmbach. Iwas told that there had been a printing problem and that MR would be a little late. I got mine on Friday, December 4 in Pittsburgh, PA.

Mine arrived Saturday, about a week following arrival of Trains. 

 

I suspect the issue was delayed so editors could include tributes for Andy S.

Hi, all,

We were informed by our distributor that delivery of MR's January issue could be running up to a week late in some areas. (Probably something to do with holiday package delivery; it always seems to happen this time of year.) If you haven't received your issue yet, just hang tight; it should show up soon. If you don't have it by Friday (Dec. 11), contact Customer Service at 800-533-6644 or CustomerService@Kalmbach.com. Thanks for your patience.

  Mine came this past Saturday the 5th, about a week after my  Trains which always comes at the same time, but I  ordered some Trains back issues less than a week ago and they were delivered the next day on Sunday by the parcel post people!

Not sure when mine came - I had already read it since my Digital copy came about 2 weeks ago Big Smile 

Definitely here somewhere, I think maybe under this Micro Mark catalog on the side of my desk...yup, there it is.

Seems like it got here about the same time as always, last week of the previous month (2 months up from the cover date). Since then though, other things I've mailed have taken longer than usual, tis the season and all.
