April is almost over? Crap, I must have slept late, I thought it was only the 13th!
;D
Seriously though, the magazine has been printed and we will have some on hand at AMPS Nationals next weekend in Atlanta, Georgia.
U.S. Subscribers will now be receiving theirs directly from the printer, as it was just a ridiculous amount of work for one guy (ME) to print and attach labels, pack in envelopes, and bring them to the post office etc. This has cost us an extra amount of money and may even affect the shipping timeline. Unfortunately we wont know the specifics until it takes place as this will be our first experience with this process.
The pallet with the remaining magazines will ship to me in about a week. (of course, I will have to still do all international orders by hand as that cost was simply too much for us to try and absorb)
Yes, ideally we would have liked to have gotten it out a little sooner but it's only our second issue, of a brand new product we only just recently launched (in the grand scheme of things) and we are both very new to this and are doing our absolute best to satisfy many, many objectives. We have met many obstacles on the way, we have incurred many unexpected costs and struggled with many difficult decisions while learning many lessons.
We can only ask that you please be patient as we learn the process, as we are doing our absolute best and while we might have been able to go to press a month ago, it would have been a much lesser product and one that may not have been up to the standards we have placed upon ourselves.
Hopefully with each passing issue, we will have less obstacles to clear and fewer lessons to learn and things will go much smoother. Until then though, all we can do is our best.
