Where is my FWW magazine?

[Bob38S]

Just looked in the big white box at the head of the driveway --:(:(:(

Nix, nothing, nada, no, zip - all I can hear in the back of my mind is Sgt Schultz "I know............ - Hmmmmm.....must remember to close the door on the letter box gently.:mad:

- no 186, 187 not even the AWW or Woodsmith - I think I'm going into withdrawal.

One day it will be....
:D:):D

Hay Taunton dude,

If you are reading this thread then let me ask you something. What is happening to the "complete reply within 48 hours"?

It is now more then 672 hours since I sent my first email, 504 hours since my second email and 200 hours since my third.

WHERE THE HELL ARE MY COMPLETE REPLIES?

I am not angry or anything, I am just disappointed.

[Driver]

WHERE THE HELL ARE MY COMPLETE REPLIES?



They are on their way to you via Surface Air Lifted mail.

Currently they are transiting Turkmenistan in the company of a small quantity of python poo which was despatched to you from Melbourne about six months ago, addressed to Possum Base, Sydney. ;)

[Driver]

For the exercise if you assume two-up operation and driving for 20 hours per day, an average speed of 60km/h for the 20 hours totals 24,000km over 3 weeks.



Ian

It's not just about average road speed. It's mainly about decidedly below-average bureaucrats and procedures at border crossings and checkpoints.

Here's an example. In 1982, I travelled by road from Amman in Jordan to Baghdad in Iraq. The Iraqi border is about 300 km from Amman but back in those days there was no control point actually at the border. You didn't get your passport and other documents checked until you reached Rutbah, another 120 km inside Iraq.

The trip from Amman to Rutbah took about 6 hours to cover roughly 420 km. Getting my visa checked and passport stamped at Rutbah took about 4 hours. (Rutbah, by the way, is never going to win any prizes as a tourist destination:( ). The remainder of the trip from Rutbah to Baghdad took 10 hours to cover roughly 450 km. More than half of this time was consumed with more checkpoints, document perusal, stuffing about, getting off the road to let interminable military convoys pass by etc, etc.

For the record, the high desert road from Amman to Baghdad was in excellent condition back then: blacktop the whole way, at least two wide lanes and long stretches of dual carriageway with two lanes in each direction.

The worst aspect of that journey (apart from the coffee at Rutbah :eek: ) was the genuine danger of being run off the road by overloaded Mercedes trucks driven mainly by over-exuberant Turks, hammering down the middle of the road at 150 km/hr plus.

Ah, nostalgia! It ain't what it used to be, y'know. :D

I've been away for a few days but when I got home this evening #187 was in the letterbox. :)

Still no sign of #186 though :confused:

Wongo, is your subscription up to date?

I received issues 186 & 187 on Monday

as advised previously, #187 was posted International Surface Air Lift in Chicago
#186 appears to have gone to the Dominican Republic, where it was marked (in Spanish) "delivery impossible - no such address"

Last Wednesday I contacted Taunton and requested a replacement copy for #186.
So at 21:02 last night I emailed Taunton as follows:

To let you know, issue #186 was delivered yesterday along with issue #187
From the stickers on the packaging of issue #186 it appears that the magazine spent some time in the Dominican Republic where it was labelled "Si entrega imposible" which I think is Spanish for delivery impossible.

It may be that all the Australian subscriptions were sent to the Dominican Republic as an acquaintance says his copy of issue #186 also had a Dominican Republic sticker on it.
This morning at 03:11 Taunton's Elizabeth replied:

Thank you for your e-mail regarding issue #186 of Fine Woodworking. I appreciate the information that you have provided to us. Please let us know if there is anything I can assist you with. We appreciate your dedication and understand (sic) during this situation.

See Wongo, Taunton does reply to requests lodged through their web site and to emails. (and it only takes 6 hours !!) :)

you just have to write nicely and be polite, especially to Elizabeth :D :D :D

or it could be your spam filter is rejecting messages from Taunton

[Wongo]

#187 is here. So what is going to happen with my #186?

Silent you are by far the worst. You missed #184 and #185 too. Did you notice them and what was the outcome?

[silentC]

I got #184 but not 185 or 186. They're supposed to be re-sending them. Will wait and see. Not holding my breath...

were there any stickers or printing on the wrapper to indicate where #186 had been?

#187 arrived today :D:D:D:D:D

No sign of # 186 :(:(:(:(:mad:

As 187 is the current issue mailout I don't quite follow the hit and miss arrivals - is it Oz Post or....?
I would have thought that they would have all arrived within a day or 2 of each other.

Bruce T.

[coedcae]

#187 arrived two days ago. :D :D :D :D
So I am all up to date.
I have been in the situation that you guys are in and it was all sorted in a short time, I think that the fact the it has happened to so many people it has taken them by supprise. SO JUST B PATIENT

You think you have a problem!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing to what happened to me today.
I was to fly to Brisbane today with my son his partner and baby Lila, who are staying for a week mainly to see Great Grandad N Grandad. He is sick and will never be able to travel back over here. I was to go to the GTG at Rockers place this weekend. Still going...
They are on full fares so they got on, I am on standby not a problem as there are plenty of seats so I WILL be on.
But NO, there is a problem with my ticket:eek: :eek: :eek:
When I did the booking on the computer at work [ and I can only do it from work] when I continued to the next screen all the dates changed unbeknownes to me. So when I front up to checkin nothing in the system as the departure and arrival date are past, soooooooo gone from the system [the part that they had access to].
Go to service desk to sort it out, no probs I am thinking. Yea Right!!!!!!!!!!!

Same thing NOTHING

Am told to go and buy another ticket and put this in for a refund and these two guys at customer service really just said GOOD LUCK if it is not in system how do you get refund.
Walk away calmly and I mean calmly.:mad: :mad: :mad: with myself for not checking the final ticket.
Then went upstairs to see the departing travellers that they are on there own, no time to explain just push them through to imigration, go and have a cup of coffee and calm down. I was calm really, for what I had just put myself through.

PLane has gone

Anyhow went back to work to buy new ticket and just though I would check back on past bookings, BINGO there it is. Find a different number in booking. Ring Resevations and explain the situation, nothing, she says that she will transferr me back to just where the orriginal booking would have been done. In about 10 sec. this lady has all the info. So has changed all the bookings for me to fly tomorrow. No probs. Yea right. Plane is almost full and a good number of people on standby at this stage more than there empty seats.

So tomorrow I will now go out again and try to get out and will have drive straight up to Rockers.:D :D :D I hope.

All my own Bl#*dy fault for not checking the ticket. Th Moral of the story is,

SLOW DOWN AND TAKE YOUREEEEEEEEEE TIME WHEN BOOKING TICKETS.

Any way I will get to see my father-in-law at least one day on Sunday ten fly home on Monday.

There is alot more to the story that I will not bore you with.

Cheers Peter

Now I think that it is time for a BEER or 2

[Wongo]

So whats the deal guys? Are we just going to die wondering?

I won’t write to them anymore because I am already on their ignore list.

[silentC]

I still haven't received my two missing issues. I think their service has taken a dramatic turn for the worse. I wrote to confirm that mine had been sent. I was told they had been but to allow 10 to 12 weeks for them to arrive. I could fly over there, have a holiday, pick them up from the Taunton office and still be home before they get here.

Last time I ordered a replacement, it showed up within a week. Oh well, nothing lasts forever. Maybe their shipping arrangements were costing too much and fell foul of the bean counters.

[Wongo]

Is it possible that people in the middle east are reading our FWW magazines at the moment?:D

:(

I don't know but mysteriously I received a copy of "Which Camel?" yesterday and I'm not a subscriber...

Well geeeeez, I wish they would hurry up and finish - and don't bend the cover when you send it on.

Still no #186. :mad:

Hey! Mr T,
are you listening?

[AlexS]

I don't know but mysteriously I received a copy of "Which Camel?" yesterday and I'm not a subscriber...

:p

I presume you will be soon - just make sure you get a good looking one.:D

I'm still waiting for FWW #186. Can't see why we have to wait 12 weeks because of their stuff-up.

[silentC]

just make sure you get a good looking one
It seems that the new Dromedary GTX is rated 8/10 for ride comfort, but only 6/10 for comeliness. Looks like form is taking a back seat to function this year.

[Ramps]

Which Camel? :confused: I know I shouldn't be surprised nowadays as there are magazines for everything but "Which Camel?" is one I wouldn't have dreamed up.

I let them know I wasn't happy, pointed them to this thread got a replacement sent out (about three weeks ago ... which still hasn't turned up) then #187 rolled up a week later then #186 rolled up the day later via the Dominican Republic ... wow

But I'm happy now :p let's just hope it doesn't happen too often

[silentC]

"Which Camel?" is one I wouldn't have dreamed up.
It wasn't difficult at all, but thanks for the compliment ;)

(nah shutup Benny (inner voice:D )

[Harry72]

I dont think I will be renewing my subscription, its a good book but this crap sucks!
I got the 10~12 week delivery email today, so I get a issue I've paid for by subscription and it arrives 3 nearly 4 months late and they got the gaul to send constant emails about renewing subscriptions!

[bitingmidge]

Sure I'd rather have had the magazine on time.

Sure it's not my problem.

But does "this crap" suck? I don't think so. I still don't think it's worth getting all hot and bothered about!

I subscribe and have done since moving away from a library system that carried the magazine nearly six years ago. I pay 25 - 30% if the price at a newsagent. In the time I've subscribed, two magazines have gone missing. One was sent by airmail, the other presumably by surface mail.

I choose not to pay for airmail delivery in my subscription rate. Yes, it would have been a great customer service gesture to have had the issue replaced via airmail, but "suck"?

If you apply the same high standard to everything you buy Harry, you'll be saving a lot of money shortly. Specially if you shop locally!

I enjoy reading the thing of course, but I do have a few back issues and a CD to keep me entertained if I get desperate before it arrives.

I had an edition of an Australian (not Woodwork) magazine go missing a few years ago, and it took several phone calls to get a replacement. In the end I had to purchase it as a back-issue, then have the cost credited against my subscription. That sucked, but I still subscribe to that Mag too!;)

Cheers,

P

[Driver]

I don't know but mysteriously I received a copy of "Which Camel?" yesterday and I'm not a subscriber...

:p

If you got the issue with the bricking instructions, hang on to it. One day it'll be a collector's item. ;)

[Harry72]

High standard... wahhhhts that!
What I mean by suck, they send me an email after nearly 2 mths of me asking where is my copy... they say another 10~12 weeks. I've had subscriptions to other mags and not one is no where near as bad as Tauton for delivery times.(they were yanky car audio books)
Im not saying the book sucks, although a little more content wouldnt go astray :)

[Groggy]

ITS HERE!

I got back from Sydney today and there it was in the letter box, direct from the Dominican Republic to moi.

The wrapper is in the same condition as most road kill. I suspect it came overland by rickshaw.

#186, baby you're home!

[Wongo]

What happened to my letter box?:mad:

[ian]

What happened to my letter box?:mad:you must have moved it !!

[TassieKiwi]

I received #187. They said that they would send out another #185, which hasn't arrived. No 186. Is it any good fellas?

[silentC]

Still waiting...

[craigb]

Still haven't got #186. I've pretty much given up on it.

Actually, I'n not sure that I'll renew my FWW sub next year.

The magazine is getting a tad repetetive if you ask me.

I mean, how many times do you need to read an article on cutting dovetails?

[bitingmidge]

The magazine is getting a tad repetetive if you ask me.
It's a problem with all magazines. The issue seems to be "how many things are there to talk about?"

I tend subscribe to any magazine for three years, after which time all of the reporting on a particular subject is pretty much done! For some reason after six years of FWW, (and many more borrowing it from the library) I still find something out of each issue, and that's my test...

If there's nothing to learn two issues in a row... no more magazine!

The exception for me has been computing, where the articles are always two years ahead of my understanding I tend to have to subscribe, then file the current magazine for two years before reading it!

Cheerss,

P

[bennylaird]

Mine hasn't arrived yet either?


(Do you have to subscribe first? Seem you lot are treated the same as unsubscribers?????)

[silentC]

FWW doesn't hold the fascination for me that it once had. Hell, I'll probably be over this whole woodworking thing in a month or two. God knows what's next though. Hope it's not expensive :(

[craigb]

God knows what's next though. (

Golf? :eek: :D

[silentC]

God no! Anything but that!!

[Bob38S]

Still no #186 :(:(:mad::mad:

#187 arrived October 30 :D:D:D- just one day before their Helloween

Yesterday my renewal reminder arrived :mad:

Mr T - you could have saved on postage if you had sent the renewal with #186.

I'm getting that feeling that we are only a small market of little consequence and that perhaps it is similar to that French aristocrat's remark .......

"Hah! Let them eat cake"

[Shedhand]

did I hear the word "GOLF"...Got a really good set of clubs with bag, buggy etc. Anyone interested? Will ship ozwide (at your expense). cost a grand 7 years ago. played 9 games (including Hope Island, Royal Melbourne and Moonah Links) Left handed.

What Craig just said.

[bitingmidge]

Thank you for contacting us.

Our offices are closed November 22nd at 3:00 pm Eastern time through November 26th as we are celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday. We will be unable to respond to your emails until Monday, November 27th when our employees return to the office. At that time, your inquiry will receive individual attention and you can expect a complete reply. Please do not reply to this e-mail.

Sincerely,
Customer Service

Oh well!

:rolleyes:

[craigb]

Well I reported my #186 m.i.a back in September. Quite a bit more than six weeks ago.

Lets face facts, we ain't ever gonna get it. :(

[silentC]

Did anyone else get the apology email that they sent last week?

[Wongo]

What what?

Tell us more about it please.

[AlexS]

Did anyone else get the apology email that they sent last week?

The what?:confused:

Waiting, waiting.

[silentC]

This:

Here at Taunton Press, we strive to provide a personalized experience for all customers who contact us. In order to do that, we maintain a small staff of people here in Newtown, Connecticut who are responsible for answering phone calls and responding to emails. Our staff is empowered to make decisions and each day at least 8 staff members are personally answering emails. When the first Australian and New Zealand delivery problem emails started to arrive, each rep responded individually as we always do, that we would be happy to send a replacement. Again, each rep responded themselves; not with an anonymous, pre-determined response. This is why some of your earlier emails received different answers to similar questions.

Please believe that we were just trying to be helpful and didn’t mean to mislead anyone. Unfortunately, this appears to have happened before we determined that there was a more wide-spread issue at hand.

It is obvious from some postings that there has also been confusion about the methods used to ship our magazines from our printer in the past and questions about how they will be shipped in the future. So, to clarify the shipping questions: all of our magazines bound for Australia and New Zealand are shipped via air freight from the United States as soon as they are printed in Wisconsin. They may be transported with magazines from other publishers that require a stop at another location in the Pacific Rim, before they actually reach a depot in your country. Once they reach your country, we have been told that it can take up to two weeks to reach you through your postal system. Now and in the future, we will continue to air freight all subscriber issues direct from our printer.

In the Taunton Press customer service replies to your emails, we had said that Fine Woodworking issue 186 was shipped by a subcontractor who had not been providing good service. We could not find out exactly what had happened to the issues, but we were told by our International Delivery Distributor, that they had arrived in Australia. We believed that the problem would be found and we expected that the issues would be delivered before our replacements arrived. We are now hearing from some Australians that they just received issue # 186, which was the subscription issue they should have received months ago. Unfortunately, we cannot explain that delay, nor can we state that every subscriber will now get their original issue since we do not ultimately have control over the final shipper.

We still do not have a complete picture as to what went wrong, but we do know that our International Delivery Distributor has set in place a new subcontractor in order to ensure that our future deliveries arrive on time. This new subcontractor is responsible for all future issues beginning with the #187. This issue should be arriving in your mailboxes by the end of next week.

Your replacements were ordered last month and are not yet expected in home. Again, we apologize for this delay and appreciate your patience.

[Buzzer]

Let's hope this is more than just lip service!

Actions speak louder than words.

Cheers. :)

Thanks Daddles, that's the nicest thing anyone has said to me all week. Now back to reality: I earn the money, she spends it. I have to beg for money to buy a pie. She takes ME out to lunch on Fridays. But this way, I can tut tut when bills don't get paid or there isn't enough money to pay the credit card. See, there is wisdom in my ways ;)

Richard

Have you got your hands on a copy of the Sheilas' Code of Practice, or what? :confused: :rolleyes: ;)

[bitingmidge]

I have to beg for money to buy a pie.

Silent, let me tell you a little trick that's worked for 32years so far. On Saturday morning, I pop down to the shop to buy a paper and some sort of sweet-meat for smoko... yes I am something of a creature of habit!

Now to do that I need money. So I ask her loveliness if she'd like me to pick up some milk while I'm out (having previously ensured that the milk stock is placed out of sight in the fridge). Every week the response is the same, I get handed a purple note with the number 5 on it, ask her to do her maths a bit better, then get handed a red note, with a sideways glance.

On arriving home, the change stays in my pocket, so I've got $15.00 for my pie fund.

At some time during the morning, without fail, she'll ask why I didn't pick up any bread while I was at the bakers.

I apologise, grab another $20.00 from her purse and dash out to pick up the bread.

On a good weekend, I can pull the bread stunt on Sunday too!

I hope that can be of some assistance to you in the future!
Cheers,

P
:D :D :D

[silentC]

That's gold!!

We are walking distance from the shops but I have to walk past the pub to get there, is that likely to be a problem, or should I actually offer to do the weeks shopping while I'm out?

[jmk89]

That's gold!!

We are walking distance from the shops but I have to walk past the pub to get there, is that likely to be a problem, or should I actually offer to do the weeks shopping while I'm out?

Midge's suggestion of "little shops" is best.
If you offer to do the week's shopping:
1. SWMBO might insist on coming with you to make sure you buy the right things
2. You won't be given cash - put it on the card to get the points and anyway no-one carries that much cash.

In either case, a great strategy is blown out of the water.

[AlexS]

Now have #187 & #188. Still awaiting #186. I notice that on the wrapper for 188 they ask to have some postage details and arrival date emailed to them, so it looks like they may be doing some auditing of their distribution contractors.

Waiting, waiting....

[Shannon Nash]

Gudday,

Am up to date now. Received Tools & Shops yesterday and 186 about two weeks ago.

While it was frustrating waiting, getting three issues in about a month has been great!

Thank you for the update. I can confirm that a replacement for Issue

delivered sooner.

Thank you for your patience. Once again, we apologize for the
inconvenience this delivery delay has caused. Please let us know if we
can be of any further assistance.

Now have #187 & #188. Still awaiting #186. I notice that on the wrapper for 188 they ask to have some postage details and arrival date emailed to them, so it looks like they may be doing some auditing of their distribution contractors.

I wonder if the sample that returned the info was even big enough to make it worth while?

Maybe I should ask?

#189 arrived in the post last night. Still no #186 though. I've given up on it.

Interesting article on table mounted routers, the Triton got best value and best overall (you listening Wongo? :D).
