The first year of my subscription, I got the English version from Germany - very expensive (like 20 euros for 4 issues). Those were mailed normally. Ever since I subscribed via MBUSA, I have not gotten an issue on time, and when I called to ask for my issue they'd send me one, two, or even three copies via Priority Mail.
Problem is, I paid for a two-year subscription, and if they stop production I want a refund or a nice parting gift. On 5/27/06, Christopher McCann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
According to an article in the May 18 issue of Der Stuttgarter Zeitung (an entire section is dedicated to the new MB Museum opening), Mercedes Benz Classic production figures are 40,000 in English and 90,000 in German. Nothing was said about the English version being discontinued. MBUSA is discontinuing it, but I wonder if it is still being produced in Germany and may be available through another channel. I only ever received two copies (subscribing just as they decided to discontinue it). BOTH issues came Priority mail! This is NOT how to mail a magazine... DID ANYBODY ELSE GET THEIRS ALL BY PRIORITY MAIL? I'm wondering if MBUSA was loosing money on it because they don't know how to mail magazines... 40,000 is alot of subscribers and even though they are scattered around english speaking countries, there are shipping methods (ISAL - International Surface Air Lift) which makes international mailings reasonable. Anyway, just thinking aloud. I really liked the magazine. I can't see someone ditching a mag with 40,000 subscribers when you are simplt translating from a mag you are already doing for 90,000 subscribers. I think someone screwed something up.
