Chris,
Maybe you could guess at what's gping on with me/my Mercedes magazine>?
about a week ago a large envelop postmarked Germany - arrived with a slick
MB mag that says 01 2006 (Jan? 1st qtr?) with the only explanation being a
paper looking like an invoice but entirely in German.
When I bought the 91 300D in Feb 06 I notified MBNA of the ownership change
& may faxed request for a invoice. I didn't request a subscription of
"Mercedesmagazine" although I did receive a coupld years of "Mercedes" back
in the 80s - and it was animpressive magazine IMHO.
Any idea why they'd send me a copy of this magazine?
Sincerely,
Larry T ('74 911, '67 MGB, 91 300D Turbo)

Last time I talked to them, they said they were trying to figure out how to
reimburse people for issue that they are not going to receive - like your
(and my) situation.
I think whatever department handled it at MBUSA is totally incompetent re:
magazine distribution. There is no reason that magazine cannot be
distributed profitably.
Chris (annoyed)

got the English version from Germany -
very expensive (like 20 euros for 4 issues). Those were mailed normally.
Ever since I subscribed via MBUSA, I have not gotten an issue on time, and
when I called to ask for my issue they'd send me one, two, or even three
copies via Priority Mail.
Problem is, I paid for a two-year subscription, and if they stop production
I want a refund or a nice parting gift.

According to an article in the May 18 issue of Der Stuttgarter Zeitung (an
entire section is dedicated to the new MB Museum opening), Mercedes Benz
Classic production figures are 40,000 in English and 90,000 in German.
Nothing was said about the English version being discontinued. MBUSA is
discontinuing it, but I wonder if it is still being produced in Germany
and
may be available through another channel. I only ever received two copies
(subscribing just as they decided to discontinue it). BOTH issues came
Priority mail! This is NOT how to mail a magazine...
DID ANYBODY ELSE GET THEIRS ALL BY PRIORITY MAIL?
I'm wondering if MBUSA was loosing money on it because they don't know how
to mail magazines...
40,000 is alot of subscribers and even though they are scattered around
english speaking countries, there are shipping methods (ISAL -
International
Surface Air Lift) which makes international mailings reasonable.
Anyway, just thinking aloud. I really liked the magazine.
I can't see someone ditching a mag with 40,000 subscribers when you are
simplt translating from a mag you are already doing for 90,000
subscribers.
I think someone screwed something up.
