No Dragster - Could it be - Mailman ????? - Page 6

My brother worked for the post office for 20 years in Des Moines, IA.

I complained bitterly to him on several occasions about the extremely poor timeliness of deliveries; two DRAGSTERS in one day and no more for two weeks, etc....

His answer was always the same: "You're lucky you get it at all. If you could see the people they hire to process this stuff, you'd be thankful that it EVER arrives, much less on time."

That was HIS opinion, not mine... but, he worked there, so what could I say?

Jack,
You can have mine. Only got one so far and it is kind of thin like Robert said. I did get two Summit catalogs and a $50 off coupon, one Jegs catalog, one of Joe's stats, and several other race parts catalogs so guess the mail system is not broken. I guess my mailman does not like drag racing. He does however like me. He keeps giving me the Victoria's Secret catalog that is supposed to go to the girl next door.

Scaz-- Your mailman let the cat out of the bag -- he tells me you've been ordering from "that" catalog all along -- does Ann know ? Is the "stuff" for the neighbor ? Is it for you ? Inquiring minds want to know......

They do not have my size. My wife has made it quite clear if I buy VS apparel for anyone else it will cost me in ways that have not been invented yet.

Called the ND circulation dept. today,complained,and the nice lady said she would look into it, and would send out the first two copies to me........What service! they were both there when I got home!.....She did tell me that the second issue would not be considered late until this Wed............Also told me that the 3rd issue would be arriving late due a problem at the printers with the binding process.....Tom

Tommy --- I didn't bother to call the circulation dept. and same as you two issues showed up yesterday -- they were the Jan 23 & 30 issues -- were there any before that ? And everyone called it right -- they are very thin .........

Got mine yesterday also. The two together are about as thick as a normal issue.....less content, fewer adds, and no contingency payout list.......Dragster-lite..

No Jack, there weren't any before that; the first issue was Jan. 23. Hope that your delivery problem has been resolved.
