Not only ludicrous, but I think slightly against the law. The Post Office can't decide what they will and will not deliver.

I got mine today. It's actually been coming about a week earlier than it was! So minor improvements. Just in time too, I have a booth on Friday so I can use the fliers! (I'm in Raleigh, NC area.)

I should have worded that a little differently. Suggesting postal workers are refusing to do their jobs is ludicrous. This way, the reference to the magazines being heavier, yet still delivered timely, makes more sense.
 
Still no CN ... however ....Last week Roomie and I noticed several days of no mail. I pretty much shrugged it off and said, "There have been days all the mail was for you and days when all the mail was for me, so if one of us wasn't living here than we'd have no mail."Well ... today the mail came. It sounded a bit "heavy" when it hit the box and I thought it was my CN when I saw a large packet. Sadly, every piece was for my neighbor.Checked with the neighbor on the other side and sure enough, he had both pieces of mail bound for my house (one for Roomie, one marked "resident.")He checked with HIS neighbor up the street, who reported no mail.So ... no CN in Akron OH .... unless it wound up at somebody else's house! If so, at least they know what great specials we have coming up!
 
Got mine today!

My SED and I were talking about it this morning. She has regular communications with Marla and I asked her to please say something to her about this. We should be getting these before the beginning of the month to get the most value from them! She promised me she would talk to her about it.
 
Mine came on Saturday - I am in MD.

You should keep track of this trend and report it to your Post Office manager. You could have one of http://www.wral.com/news/strange/story/7603350/. :)
 
Well, I got mine today. I saw this thread and didn't think anything of it except, "Oh, I got mine a while ago." That shows you how much I am paying attention!

finally got mine on Monday - 5/17 - now that the month is 1/2 done:(
 
My director told us last night that she had e-mailed HO about getting the CN late. She was told that they release all the CN's at the same time. They don't hold them back. If we aren't getting them on time, it's our post office that is putting them at a lower priority to get them out. Her director said that she gets hers the 1st of the month each time. And another girl in our cluster said she gets hers the first week. The rest of us still don't have ours. I guess this means a phone call to the post master.
 
I was told last night by HO that they didn't mail them until last week because of issues with the PO.

I was told after Director Express to contact my post office - that they were all sent at the same time. This is when I was read the riot act by the Postmaster saying that the mail is delivered as soon as it is received. I do not live in a big city and as was mentioned elsewhere, I also have no problems getting my Ladies Home Journal or Good Housekeeping. I do believe that they are all released at the same time, but not by HO - by the Vendor who is doing direct mailing for them. I do hope that something comes of our vigilance.
 
think calling your post office is not going to help. I called HO yesterday because I had just received mine. HO said that they had an issue so they sent them out late. But I get mine late EVERY month. Basically we should ALL email HO to voice our complaints and let them know that sending out this info in the middle of the same month is ridiculous. If they get enough responses maybe they can rectify it. They need to be sent the end of the month so that the info is timely. I read this on Consultant Corners at the beginning of the month. They should be in transit by then.
 
I just got mine yesterday. I have been with PC since February and it is the first one I have gotten.
 
I got mine on Saturday and talked to the post master this same day about them possible holding them. We live in a little town that only has 1200 people or so and they do not hold the mail. I get catalogs on a timely manner. I feel the same that someone said earlier that we should same this thread and then email it to HO and let them know that it is just not 1 or 2 people that are complaining it is a lot of people that this is happening to.

when I first started, I had to call each month to get mine. It has never been sent consistently. This is one place where P chef is not efficient. As stated before, not a post office issue.:(
 
I live in the middle of NY State and still have not received mine. I complained last month and hate to complain all the time. How difficult would it be for HO to change their production schedule 15 days earlier???? Very frustrating, indeed.

We do need to complain every month - as tiedious as it may seem. I have been complaining since Feb. 2010. I will be starting my 3rd year with PC and never had issues with delivery until Feb. 2010. I would pay an extra $1.50 a month to get the hard copy in my hands at the start of the new month, if not before. I don't always have quality computer time, but can find some quiet moments to read the testemonials and good ideas/hints.:grumpy:
 
I just received mine yesterday and I am in Washington.
 
Got mine yesterday in NC!
 
Got mine yesterday as well. Yawn. Old news by now. I should be getting JUNE'S right now. :grumpy:
 
totally agree with you. June should be in the mail right now! oh well. I sent in my email to HO - hope you all do too.
 
Got mine yesterday too. FLORIDA
 
Mine FINALLY arrived today. As a bonus, I didn't get my neighbor's mail!

SERIOUSLY thinking of calling them to complain!
 
Just received mine in Reno, NV yesterday!
