Last time I talked to them, they said they were trying to figure out how to reimburse people for issue that they are not going to receive - like your (and my) situation. I think whatever department handled it at MBUSA is totally incompetent re: magazine distribution. There is no reason that magazine cannot be distributed profitably. Chris (annoyed)

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.
