Got mine 2/7 
Not bad considering I won't get my Feb issue of the OTL until late March.

Orange County New York still waiting.. I was going to ask this question anyway.. Should there be an option as part of an additional membership tarriff for us to receive the mag via first class mail? I have found over the last couple of years that at least 2 issues a year don't make it to me for whatever reason and I have to contact the office for a replacement

Speaking of which... that reminds me. Did anybody notice the author referred to the caliper PISTONS as caliper CYLINDERS many times throughout the article? That is either a glaring error, or unbeknownst to me the German word for "piston" doesn't translate well...

Still waiting in Dallas. Until now I did not realise that ON is unlike other magazines, in that it arrives in the month printed on the cover. In the past I didn't check what issue was showing up, as they came with regularity.
So thinking that I should have received Feb. a while ago, I called the office and was told to call back if I don't get it by the tenth.
I'm eagerly watching the mail box. Or I would be, if my apartment was next to it...

Technically, the magazine is not late until the 10th of each month. The Nov. Dec. and Jan. issues all went out earlier than usual because of the holidays. I do not have a soulution to this unless we hand deliver each and every magazine!! Once the mailing list is out of here (which is the same time every month) I have no control as to when the magazine is going to arrive!

There is an option on your renewal form that you can receive your magazine first class mail. It is an additional $25 per year. You can contact us at any time and we will pro-rate the amount. Let us know if you are interested.
Becky is correct in her post saying that we have no control over the delivery of your magazine. You may want to contact your post office because you might have a BMW riding mail man. If/when you don't receive an issue you can call the office and we will send you a replacement.

I'd be curious to know how the mags are boxed and shipped out. I had a chance to see the Feb issue last Friday (2/3) at my local dealer, but mine has not appeared as of yesterday (2/8). This has been par for the course for me for the past few months, not getting it until the 10th or so.

Magazines are generally shipped as bulk mail. This means that the post office doesn't have a specific delivery timeline, it just needs to get delivered. This is different than first class mail, which has some specific time requirements for delivery.
Delays in delivery are generally due to the delivery scheduling done at the local post office level.

The magazines for domestic delivery are dropped at the same time at the USPS station in Effingham, Illinois. They are presorted and bundled according to periodicals class regulations which means magazines going to same postal sorting station are bundled together and the issues are sorted into carrier routes. This helps speed delivery time (as well as saving us money) but individual delivery speed will vary depending on how busy local stations and mail carriers are. Periodicals class mail should be delivered faster than standard "bulk" mail.djw said:
I double checked and the February issue was delivered on schedule to the USPS on January 26, 2006. This should mean most U.S. members will receive their issues "around" the first of the issue month (with the remainder before the 10th). I have been told, however, the USPS has had delivery speed problems for the last several months all across the US. Complaints by our mailer have not made a difference (and this after a recent postal price increase).
Perhaps complaints by individuals to the USPS (or your local Congressmen) will help.
