Now that’s interesting craig. I got mine a couple of weeks ago which is strange considering your living closer to the post office.:oo:
As for the Triton router, it is disgraceful isn’t it? See the standard of FWW mag has dropped significantly.

What’s next? The Triton workcentre as the editor’s choice??
I got 189 yesterday too. I also received the replacement copy of 185 late last year but not the replacement copy of 186 which I requested at the same time. However, the original one did eventually turn up via The Dominican Republic or wherever it went first. If I ever get the replacement, I'll let you have it. But don't hold your breath ;)Quote:
Still no #186 though. I've given up on it.
Play fair Silent. It is great that you offer it to craig but what about someone who sent you a free router bit?:B
Now I know I posted to this thread this morning, just after #189 arrived:? .
Still no 186 though.:no:

:rolleyes:
#189 arrived here in Tassie today also, still waiting for #186 :~.
Went back and re-read their last e-mail..... 10-12 weeks it said...it has been 13 so a further e-mail sent.
Received an e-mail response overnight:-Quote:

I have also extended your subscription by an issue as a thank you for your patience.I hope this time it is back to their normal standard of around 7 days air mail.
Should you end up with two copies, just share the extra copy with an interested friend. Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience this delivery delay has caused.
I received 189 the other day but the wrapper was split and the magazine was soaking wet. Not sure who to complain to Taunton or Australia Post. Can't quite figure out how it got wet as the day it came we had not rained at all. Kind of managed to read it but destroyed it in the process. As for the Triton router they must be good cause they are as ugly as sin.
I finally received #186 today; it was a bit battered and covered with labels in Spanish. Apparently it had been hijacked by pirates of the Caribbean, since it arrived from the Dominican Republic.

Was this a re-sent issue, or was it the original? Is there still hope I might get mine?Quote:

It was the original issue. I kept the faith that it would arrive eventually, and had not requested a replacement.
Rocker
Well #186 finally arrived in the post today. It was the replacement issue.
It took four months but Taunton eventually got it here.
I guess this one must have come surface post?
Anyway, I'm all up to date now. :)
Wongo, you get yours yet?
YES:cool: This one goes straight to the pool room.
Still havent seen mine.
I'm still dreamin' . . .
I got #186 in the post yesterday 'arvo :2tsup:
OK We need a poll for this.

I got the original issue late, via the Dominican Republic. Today the second copy arrived so I really can't complain. I look at it this way, they made a mistake and they fixed it. Judging by the size of the error they did what they could. Not fantastic service, but they did address the problem to my satisfaction.
What Groggy said. They are usually pretty good. They had a new contractor who upstuffed, they fixed it as well as they could, and they appear to be auditing their distribution performace. Hard to ask for more.
But what am I going to do with all these extra copies I've got clogging up my coffee table?
I am running a “learn to read" program for the orphans in China. I am hoping to collect 10,000 books.
Do you want to donate yours Silent?
:) Your a man not easily pleased Silent.Quote:

Never rains ....:cool:
if your giving them away ill take 1 each for my students at school.
I was looking at all the tatty woodworking books at Bunnings on the weekend and wondered what they did with the unsaleable copies, maybe there's an opportunity there.Quote:

# 188 is still Missing In Action :C:C:C but # 189 arrived last week - no plastic jacket/envelope etc - just bare, naked, open, on its own :o - fortunately the now throw away extra cover [which used to contain a collectable tip but now only has extra adverts on it :~:~ ] had my name and address printed on it. :):) otherwise I guess it would also be MIA.
Having recently renewed my subscription I hope this is not going to become an ongoing saga.

My original copy arrived Tuesday, replacement copy # 1 postmarked as above but October 13th arrived today. I guess that I still have 1 more copy to still to come:o.Quote:
