Re: Durant Partner

I am also very happy with the issue-- It is great. Always wait to get it and sit down and gom through it from cover to cover--then my wife does the same. Best club magazine I have seen

Don, maybe your mailman is enjoying it too?

All members in located in the U.S. should have received their copy by now. Send an email to Carol and she can send you a replacement copy.

Re: Durant Partner

Many Thanks for all the complements.. you all are a great bunch, and it is my pleasure to help with the magazine..
Anyone in the US that did not get an issue should let me know,as you should have it by now, and we will send out another one. Since we mail out first class, undeliverable issues should come back to me, but so far I have only received two..
Enjoy!

Re: Durant Partner

Ah so that's it then Charlie, the US mail service.
Still waiting for the steeldraulic brake pliers off ebay since Nov 1st, sent to me USPS 1st class mail. USPS parcel post normally takes a couple of days to me, so 1st class must be weeks then.

Both Gord and myself got Partner no problems and shortly after Carol mailed them.

In August Peg mailed a package to our friends in Hawaii. Because I collect stamps, we put stamps on the package, but the post office still has to put a postage meter on the package. That day Peg took 3 packages to the post office, the clerk put a meter on two of the three. The one to Hawaii was not delivered, rather it was returned to us, SEVEN weeks after it was mailed. The box looked like it had been dropped from an airplane.

Re: Durant Partner

I worked for MetLife and you started in the mailroom if a male and central files if a female. One of the Met fellows collected stamps and would buy the top two and bottom two rows of sheets of stamps with plate numbers. Sell these to a Met branch office in Ottawa to use when mailing in the daily paperwork. He would then come to the mailroom to cut off the stamps for his collecting. He didn't always get them all . Of course he complained and was told they were Met property and anyone had the chance to gather stamps. He got about 98 % anyway.

I can recall talking to a customer 3 blocks away from Met who wanted an annuity quote mailed to him. Took over 3 weeks to go 3 blocks. Could have walked it to him. So much for "Royal" mail. Its improved since then.

Just not sure about this seller looking at his record. Had a few feedbacks for none delivery of items. These are gray mid point feedbacks so don't affect his positive feedback score at selling. Only red ones do. Should include those as well to bring his rating down.

Re: Durant Partner

Take part of it back .. pliers arrived today and 1st class mail franked Nov 1st from NJ. Another thought was customs hold up for cost more than $20, and HST etc required. Not the problem as under stated to avoid it.

Re: Durant Partner

Anyway just to make sure we are talking about the same thing... vol 13 issue three (fall issue), with Peter Hepworth's 1923 touring on the cover arrived in late Sept, right after the Vancouver national meet. Too soon for any meet pics. Vol 13 issue 4 has not arrived yet, but it shouldn't come out until December anyway. Maybe Gordo got his fall issue late?(see first post) Ross

Re: Durant Partner

Ross:
You are right. It does take a lot longer to get anything shipped from the USA to Canada. The issue I received in early November was the issue showing the 1923 Touring and had the Guelph pictures on the reverse. A really nice issue.
