Misc Calibre Magazine Problems

Over the last year or so I have tried unsuccessfully to get in touch with the individuals who deal with the Calibre Magazine subscriptions. I have randomly only received 2 issues over 2 years and keep getting charged for the subscription. has anyone else been having issues or is it just me? Does anyone have a phone number to get a hold of someone?

I`ve sent half a dozen emails to the provided addresses on their website and facebook page and have gotten 0 responses.

Can anyone help me with this?

So Dan's response below is great, unfortunate actually too. The other reality that may have been addressed by now is that it was reported that some "mail sorting / delivering issues" were being discovered whereby firearm related mailings were purposefully being damaged in transit so as to not reach their destination by employees with contrary opinions. Could be a mix.

I don't know why, but delivery has been less reliable than prior.

Interesting story though: We tried using a printer in Quebec, because they're the largest in Canada and have rates no one else can touch... but it obviously meant the issues went to a Quebec Canada Post facility for sorting, and I noticed a huge uptick in missing issues.

We went back to our printer in BC this year, and while the percentage of missing issues isn't at pre-strike levels, it's a hell of a lot better. The quality of printing is better, too.

But the delivery issues with the Quebec facility came up in conversation with some members of the magazine publisher's association I am in, and they all said the same thing.

It's a weird time to be a business owner.
