Thought I let you know that I received my 1:64 Modeling Guide yesterday (31 days after posting). Believe Washington & his troops marched from New York to Yorktown VA faster than Magazine delivered by U.S. Postal Service. Guess I could try 1st Class postage, it's an extra $11.50/yr. but I'm frugal (cheap). Nice job though by Richard & Debbie Bendever (editor/publisher).
2005 wasn't a good year for me & U.S. Postal Service. Early on in March they shredded a large Money Order for a "S" brass loco I purchased from a dealer. Fortunately there was enough left that I was able to get another re-issued by my Post Office, but then I had to to pay for express mail since the dealer's client was complaining. In September, I sent another large money order for another "S" brass loco I won on e-bay. This time it was just lost. I'm sure the seller thought I was a deadbeat. Luckily I had copy of receipt & stub. HOWEVER, THE POST OFFICE MAKES YOU WAIT FOR 30 DAYS BEFORE IT WILL EVEN ACCEPT A MONEY ORDER "INQUIRY" AND 60 DAYS BEFORE IT WILL EITHER SEND YOU A CHECK, OR PROOF OF CASHING WITH SIGNATURE. It wasn't until November that I got my money back from Post Office. Then later in October, sent back a brass part I purchased which wasn't exactly as advertised. You guessed it. Lost. And therefore no refund/credit. Could of sent it issured, but value was only $15. Needless to say, I'm not a fan of U.S. Postal Service. However, all the Junk Mail seems to make to my house just fine. Thank goodness the Holdays were enjoyable, and I can now look back and almost laugh at last year's transgressions. Wishing all of you a happy & healthy New Year.
