Mopar Collectors Guide Subscribers

[gunbunny]

Who gets it, and who's paid for it, and hasn't gotten it yet?
I've had a subscription for a few years. I normally renew at Carlisle in July, but this year I was busy and never made it up to see them. Since they're only a few feet away from me a Nats, in August, I renewed then. Of course the subscription lapsed, so it was all new again.
Here it is last day of 2025, and I still don't have any of my missing issues.
I reached out and they say the problem must be my mail carrier is stealing them. I know my mail carrier from my time working at the USPS, she isn't taking anything, especially car magazines. Besides, they aren't turning up in my informed delivery emails from the PO.
Anyone else not getting theirs? Have you reached out to anyone? If so, what was the response?

I've been a subscriber since Rob started it. I just renewed it a while back and haven't missed any. I renewed this time for the 5 year deal so I'd quit forgetting to do it at a show. If I'm still kickin in 2030....I'll have to decide how long to renew for. I have tons of car magazines neatly stored in boxes in the attic that I have no idea what I'm going to do with them. You can't even give them away, let alone sell them. I hate to toss/recycle them, but it may come to that eventually.

So you're getting yours in the mail monthly?

I have been a subscriber since the beginning. Hard to believe their single little publication has outlived all of the other big corporations mags.

Take them to libraries and businesses. Let others enjoy them.

To the OP
If you paid by credit card, do a charge back if its not too late.

Just got the February issue yesterday. Every time I have called to provide a temporary address change, they have been easy to deal with.

Yep, can't remember the last time I missed one. I'm down to MCG and Hot Rod, but I ain't renewing Hot Rod when it comes due.

I paid back in July. Probably to late.

So, someone returned a email. Saying that they're having issues with a postal processing center in Indianapolis. I dunno how I feel about that excuse. Working for the USPS for the time I did, one of the things I learned was get the mail out as fast as you can. You don't sit on it because there going to be plenty more tomorrow.
They say they're going to mail the back issue plus the current one out to me. Again, I kinda feel like I'm being sent spoiled milk.
I hope this isn't the beginning of the end of MCG.

I am a long time subscriber. No problems with their delivery...
I have had delivery problems with almost every other type of mail over the last couple of years. Electric bills, banks, and other magazines. USPS cannot explain it...

I used to subscrib. I would renew every year with the promise of a t shirt. Out of renewing 7 or 8 times, I got 1 t shirt. I called and called, I don't know what they're ******* problem was. That was what I told them the last time that I would have renewed. I told them to keep their ******* t shirts and never renewed again.

 

[JDMopar]

I renewed for 5 years this time, and it was a good deal for as many issues as I will get. I asked about a shirt, and she told me none came with the 5 year deal because the savings were a big discount. After doing the math, I have to agree with her.

@gunbunny How long have you been gone from USPS? Several years ago, the closed a bunch or processing centers which slowed their service way down. If I mail my neighbor a letter the way it is legal, it has to go to Greenville, SC and turn right around to come back 60 miles to our area. The old Asheville center was 4 miles from my house.

Been a few years. Obama was still president.
Yeah, I know about the PDC's consolidating.
That doesn't account for months of 2nd class mail not being delivered.
