We despatch it on time to go into the mailing system but we do not bring it directly to your door ourselves. If your copy is regularly late please discuss the matter with your local sorting office.
In August and December we publish a double issue with no issue the following week (because we publish 50 times a year not 52) – we receive more calls about that than anything else!
