Canada Post strikes again!

We've (as of yet) not received either Dungeon #142 (shipped 14 Nov), nor Dragon #350 (shipped 7 Nov).

Rather odd considering we've just received Dragon #351 which shipped on November 28!

We live in Burlington, Ontario, and are constantly fighting a losing battle against the simply awful service standards of Canada Post (constant mid-deliveries, not dropping any mail to the entire street for 2 days etc etc)..... Trouble is there's little else in terms of option.

We'll be putting in another complaint with Canada Post, and I'll be e-mailing Paizo to see if they can re-send the lost issues (not for the first time unfortunately).

Cheers

"Heh kinda funny Dragon 338 Came today 2 days after 337 :-)
Kinda funny still no 129 dungeon tho..but we'll see how it goes.
Glad to see it just isn't my postal code area that was holding things up"

Exactly the same here! Sounds like it's the post office for sure, as I live in Burlington, ON...... just up the road.

Still no sight of Dungeon #129 though! Very odd.

I live near Toronto in Canada and have noticed that over the past couple of months things have gone completely haywire :/ TO this date I still have not received Dragon no.337 (Which I believe shiiped over 6 weeks ago, nearly 7) and nor have I received Dungeon 129.

Last time I had to ring up Customer Service and they kindly sent me a replacement copy for Dungeon 128 which arrived promptly thereafter.

Before this things went relatively smoothly, usually receiving them 3 weeks or so after ship-date.... does anyone know why this might be? I have no complaints with Customer Service, they're a kind and efficient bunch of people....... but it does get rather annoying waiting that long, all the while the issues I am yet to receive, taunting me from the magazine racks...... soon Dragon #339 will have shipped whilst I still haven't received #337, 3 issues in the post that would be :/

Any help/news would be great :D

I must admit I'm rather smitten with using Neverwinter Nights at the moment.... one advantage it has is that everything can happen in real-time (but a DM can pause everything if needs be) and you get to see your world and surroundings, the only slight pain is it takes a reasonable time to create environments etc.

The biggest adavantage is that all of the die-rolls and such are hidden away (though you can actually see them if you want to), so people can concentrate on roll-playing and not role-playing :)

Just wondering if anyone plays D&D online here really, and if so then how they go about it?

I've got many friends who play over IRC and such, but also some who play on PC Games, such as Neverwinter Nights and such..... Myself? I build for a World using Neverwinter Nights and that fills the D&D hole for me, being able to build/DM/play any time I feel like it without having to organise the massively ccomplex thing of getting everyone together for a spot of PnP.... Just got me thinking of what other folks do :)

I live in Ontario, Canuck-land also and haven't recevied Issue #128 of Dungeon yet, just e-mailed Customer service and left a phone message so hopefully it'll be winging it's way up here!

Pervious to this I've had one instance when a copy never arrived, but apart from that they're usually very good.
