I've no idea these days. In olden times, it depended on the publisher. If they'd pay to have things sent back, everything would be returned. If not, stores would tear off the covers from unsold issues and bin the rest.

UK to UK is also still very bad. It seems to specifically be a problem with 'large letter' post, for whatever reason. Parcels are rattling through the system OK as are normal letters. But mags are still showing up pretty randomly here. (Although they do at least always show up—so far.)

What a Friday prog, a real live Friday Prog - they were like hen's teeth even before the plague times.

Mind we got a Thursday Phoenix this week as well... or are we just getting the dates wrong?

It's like Tharg has employed this very Skysurfing delivery service over Royal Mail this week.

Am glad, prog 2211 finally turned up.
Just hoping that somehow prog 2199 might surface but have more lick of winning the lotto.

2220 arrived today for me, alongside mini-G's Beano. Phoenix on Thursday. For once, a normal week regarding magazine post.

I know I have said it before on this forum but it should be repeated; any delays to subscriber copies or your post in general are the fault of Royal Mail and not Rebellion. We struggled with covid and failed deliveries for months on end. Private Eye subscribers also complained about it being late/never turning up.we're getting on top of it but don't blame Rebellion.

Anyone received the Evil Genius 2 special yet? I got an email saying it had been dispatched on the 1st of April but there's no sign of it here yet.

In my experience, they send those emails out a lot earlier than the actual item ships, so I wouldn;t be unduly concerned...

Leigh S

OK -maybe I was being optimistic.... any receive theirs yet?  I know it can be a week or two, but a month on from the email?

M.I.K.

I still haven't got mine but I contacted Rebellion a few days ago and got an email back earlier today saying they've sent a replacement out.

Just to say I got last weeks bright and early on the Saturday, Happy Huff!

I also got the email followed by a non-appearance of EG2. I then sent a questioning email after 17 days, and they sent a replacement- which arrived on Saturday.
