 A question for Newsweek subscribers:

In other places I've lived (other states) my copy of Newsweek arrived on
Tuesdays.  Reliably.  Since moving to Raleigh, I've been getting it on Fridays
or Saturdays.  Sometimes on Wednesday or Thursday, but rarely. For example, I
have not yet gotten the election special issue (as of Monday). Is this typical
for this area?  Or is my post office extra slow (27615 in North Raleigh). Is
the problem with the post office or with Newsweek's distribution system? What
about TIME subscribers? When does that arrive?

   I live in Durham (27713) and I usually get my copy on Thursday or Friday.  
However, I did not receive the election issue until yesterday, which I  
expected to get on Saturday at the latest.  My father in Charlotte got his
on Saturday.  What an issue!  Damn good reading for those interested in a
behind-the-scene look of the presidential campaign.

When my subscription started, a year ago, I usually received the
magazine on Tuesday, sometimes on Wednesday. Now it's Thursday at
the earliest, more often on Friday or Saturday, and occasionally
the following Monday! 8-( I live in Orange County, Chapel Hill
Post Office.
