Very happy to see the ones in some international destinations arriving on time and intact.

They take a bit of a journey; they were shipped by USPS to an Ascendia sorting center. Some were in NY, some Florida, some Chicago. There, all the customs information required including the final labeling is affixed and Ascendia transports them internationally. Then they are dropped in, I believe, the local post office system. It all works by a lot of handshaking agreements. It's not something you can get just anywhere but it's one reason why we use our vendor Pirate Ship to allow us to take advantage of this.

My copy arrived here in Canada today….congrats on another fabulous job, looks awesome! Hopefully we can get to Volume lV before too many tariffs are imposed on our group by Uncle Donald….next issue could set us back a few additional bucks!🙃

Look at the back cover. “Printed in Canada”. 😁

Michael,

That is exactly the point…. be prepared to pay an additional 25%, when the printed copies are returned to the US for distribution. That on top of the 25% counter tariff that will be charged on your printing costs when initially sent to Canada for processing.. so much for the currency exchange advantage that was enjoyed for production. Overall, an additional cost to us all….We should offer a free membership to Uncle Donald….. If he enjoys this group as much as we do, he might except us! 😉

Michael,

Oh, we have contingency plans! We have the ability to send directly out of Canada to bypass the USA completely… and to also print at a different facility within the USA for the USA market!

Yes, we think of everything! Hoping we are not needing to execute such gyrations because of the occupant of the White House.
