winsor68 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I am going to call Ra-Aus today. I will complain but will try to keep in mind that they are just doing a job. There is talk of dropping the magazine from newsagency shelves... I prefer the idea of making the magazine only available through newsagencies and making it pay for itself.

Guest ozzie Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Gee with all the flooding up and down the state i'd think myself lucky if the milk turned up each morning. I don't think the RAAus is to blame here. The mag is printed and mailed out by a commercial mailing company then delivered by Aus Post under the conditions of the publication catagory. People who regularly get the mag late would benifit from an online version. My EAA Sport Pilot Mag is always on time online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingVizsla Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Still no magazines for us (we get 2 as we are both members). Have checked the PO Box and the letter box. We were cut off from all towns, but now the highway is open all the way to Rockhampton - they get their flood peak today - but no mag for us.

winsor68 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Mine arrived today... I checked the mail with the phone in my hand preparing to call Ra-Aus and enquire and it was here. I understand there is flooding at the moment... what I couldn't understand is why the other members I saw last Wednesday at the local field had theirs and mine still hadn't been delivered. It is a pain seeing the mag on the News agency shelves by the 6th of every month while I have never received my mag before the 17th. Like I said I would prefer if Ra-Aus stopped mailing the mag and just made it pay for itself commercially. That way members still have access and the public still has too... and its good advertising.

Guest burbles1 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I don't wait for my mag - I'm too busy flight planning and flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushcaddy105 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Still waiting! Rang RaAus yesterday, and was told "the magazines were late getting to the mailing house". Seems that where you live has a huge bearing on what you can expect from the supply chain, given that some forum members had theirs before Xmas.

Guest studentbiggles Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hi Guys, my mag only arrived on Monday only because I rang RAAus last week to find out what the hold up was and was told my name had "Disappeared" off the mailing list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can only wonder when next months will arrive?? Alley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdarby Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Which one are we talking about, Dec/Jan? Are we getting blue bags? All I ever got is one of those re-usable shopping bags which I left at some airfield somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wangaratta Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Yeah, Dec/Jan Issue. The blue bag is like one of those re-usable shopping bags with The RA-Aus Logo on both sides. I don't know if everyone else got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ozzie Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 No bag but i recieved a safety insert in the previous issue. Also a calendar with nice photos of aircraft i can't afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest davidh10 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Before the days of social media, and these days, this site broadly fits that category, it didn't matter that magazines were delivered in different places at different times, because you only socialised with locals who all received their magazines within a day or two at most. Unfortunately, with the worldwide reach of Internet based social media interaction, not getting your magazine for several weeks after the first deliveries means that by the time you read the juicy articles, most people have already discussed / argued the points or items of interest or contention and have lost interest in further discussion. It's a bit like being the last poster in a thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spin Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Dexter I agree, although if you're really keen, the classifieds are available on the RA Aus site from the first week of the month, ie. well before the mag goes out. Still waiting for mine incidently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
