Long ago, I bought a 3 year subscription to "Guns & Ammo" on ebay. After a few months I realized I hadn't seen a single issue so I contacted the seller, who got it straightened out, and as an apology, G&A doubled my subscription to 6 years at no additional cost. After a few years, the magazine stopped coming, so I called the subscription office who told me in effect that they simply decided to stop sending magazines after about 4 years. I pressed the issue and started receiving magazines again, until my extended subscription ran out. It appears that they can and will do this on complementary subs if you don't ride them to keep up. The silly part is that G&A had gotten so lame by that time that I really didn't care. Seyfreid had just left and the magazine was plunging into mediocrity. After my sub lapsed, I never picked up a copy of G&A again, and I'm surprised to see it still being published at all. But then again, I feel that way about a lot of magazines.

Priority mail is the way to go. Click and ship is saving us money over UPS and FEDEX, it is more convenient, there are fewer problems of all sorts, and so on. So it seems that they have a product, now, that everyone should want to use.

That said, the rest of the service pretty much sucks. Rotten office hours, overly expensive for every other kinds of mail (except for media mail), surly staff waiting for the ax to drop... Don't get me started on the magazines. BTW, it is my understanding that the same firm owns G&A and ST. Both are so thin that the parrot would rather have Scott TP in the bottom of the cage. Sad. ST once being the "home" of Skeeter. So it goes...

For someone who still writes letters(and I do)it's a great deal. It costs me the same to mail a letter across the street as it does across the country. Think about it; the Post Office has effectively reduced the size of the entire country to one point! The only other entity that has come close to doing that is the McDonald's Restaurant chain.
