Vic Meldrew Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 I am sick to death of posts on this thread talking about the non or late arrival of their Speedway Star magazine. If you have a problem then contact the publishers direct or take the matter up with your local Royal Mail contact. It was inevitable that putting the magazine in a clear plastic type envelope sends the wrong message to Royal Mail staff, i.e. it is probably junk mail and goes to the bottom of the pile for delivery.

So, actually the star was very much later then December 24th, does that imply the Speedway Star will be that much late too. Hopefully not!

I complain to the Royal Mail via there complaint syatem every time my mag does not arrive on a Thursday which they have to reply too. Now if everyone whose mag is late does this every time Im sure that the Royal Mail would soon get a message that a lot of people are not happy with the service and you never know may be the P.O.

Humphrey Appleby Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Not sure why people are bothering to complain about public postal services which seem to have become the only delivery services that have got worse over the past year as everything becomes more reliant on them. The electronic version of the Spar doesn't have delivery issues. However, one annoyance is that I don't think the Spar can be viewed on both Android and iOS platforms with the same subscription as it needs a platform specific app. So any chance of making it available through something like Kindle?
