On the MRJ front, I picked up my copy, as usual, at a local "corner shop". It always amazes me that they stock it. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also got the email with the link to a Zinio online copy. I did try it but it confirmed my view that Zinio is a slow and clumsy system which is best avoided. A simple PDF download is a much better option, although granted it's open to abuse by people sharing the file. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another excellent issue - and good to see Mrs. Trellis back, as well. MRJ isn’t truly MRJ without a contribution from Mrs. T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

decauville1126 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Not sure if it's already been remarked upon, but at the bottom of the "Small Suppliers Forum" page is ..... an email address. Is this new or have I been in self-isolation for longer than it seems? It is, as always, another excellent issue. Thank goodness for MRJ in these troubled times.

Well Zennor's on the other side of the Country from me, about 10 miles away . Of course over there, they can always amuse themselves with tales (not tails) of Mermaids etc., polish up the craic ready for when the tourist come down again. Being mindful I had a (last) copy out of PZ Smurff's on Monday, our other (small) newsagent in PZ, had 6 on the shelf yesterday, so my PA tells me. BUT, John you've got Crisps and Bath Ales to hand, so Heaven's just around the corner. Edited April 25, 2020 by Penlan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted April 27, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 27, 2020 Apologies to everyone who is still waiting for their MRJ 278 orders from Titfield. There have been a series of blunders, tactical errors and boobs in the supply side of things, but I am pleased to report that packages from Cygnet were at last delivered to Studio Four, (as some of us like to call this place) about ten minutes ago. Let battle commence! I mean, orders will now be packed and sent out. In the meantime the phone issue remains, the BT cloud service is much more clever than I am!!

sumo Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 @Not Jeremy I wonder if, for those of us who can't track a copy down, you could charge actual postage for a mail order copy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted May 3, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) If you go to my website you can do exactly that, as many have already. I can see that a single issue does look a bit expensive at £3.60 for P&P, but this reflects the actual costs of the operation from my point of view, it is not as simple as just the postage cost. The same postage charge will however cover you for up to four MRJs. The publisher of the magazine has much more margin to work with than do I as a retailer, which enables them to offer a potentially "better deal" per issue in the sense that I think you mean it. I think that if you did the rounds of magazine publishers with the same question you would find differing approaches and costs in this context. And then of course you could take out a subscription, which is another way of getting the magazine more cheaply than I am able to offer it to you and everyone else. At shows there is no postage of course, but sadly there are not currently any shows taking place due to the Coronavirus situation.

RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted May 5, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) There are some concerns about availability of this issue, owing to a spike in demand which has most likely been caused by the partial shutting down of the retail news trade in the current situation. Efforts are being made to get some copies back from the distributors, but there is no guarantee that this can take place. Apologies to anyone who as a result may miss out on this issue, apparently new subscriptions have also increased significantly and had an adverse effect on stocks. Who said print was dead?!

RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted May 6, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) Good news, I have managed to find some more copies. We have now reinstated MRJ 278 to the website so that it may be ordered direct again. Stock will be with me this Friday assuming all goes to plan. Best wishes to all.
