Why is everyone surprised about delivery of these? Look up the thread on "Fourteener Motoring Magazine". http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...7075&st=480 I've gotten calendars for the past 3 years no problems. I'm only antsy now because I'm tired of looking at snow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif) Also, quite a few orders came up after the cut off date, so they might have actually gone to press a few days later than we were told to include them. With the lack of attention on multiple fronts this years, I'm thinking there is something going on behind the scenes we don't know about. |

I too have purchased calendars the past three years with no issues. It is now Jan 9th, my mail came today and guess what, no calendars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

I don't mind them being late, due to the late voting, etc, but it would be nice if there was an honest update, with realistic expectations instead of the "check is in the mail"

I’m beginning to wonder! My 3 calendars have not shown up, is this going the way of the magazine. Generally have calendars up on the 1st of the year now getting closer to half way though the first month!

There is hope!
I received a PM from Steve yesterday asking for my address and apologizing, remarking they "send out hundreds of the calendars." And that "a small handful always bounce back for various reasons. But, not many." He then said he would "mail another"? I was happy to hear something and furnished my address again. I received mine late last year due to some mix up as well. Looking forward to my calendar? Has anyone received them? Hope so. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/white914.jpg) |

Still waiting here as well. I was hoping to wrap it up and put it under the tree as a gift from the Mrs. (the kids enjoy this even though they know we pick out our own stuff 75% of the time), but that didn't pan out this year.

On Thursday Jan 4th it was written "most were mailed out the previous week" which would have been Dec 24- Dec 30th. No one actually has one in their hands yet? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Just earlier today I was thinking, "darn, I never ordered my 2018 calendars". Maybe I lucked out by never ordering.

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me! I did not order a calendar this year because of the magazine problems. At this time I'm skeptical that any of us will ever receive a magazine subscription refund. Steve Martin has a 914-6, two 914 four cylinder cars, and a boxster but can't make it right with us by giving the refunds we are entitled to? If you get your calendars you're lucky. |

I got an email saying my calendars are going out today. Worse case I should see them in a week. Funny but I already bought a Walmart stars wars calendar and just put my Porsche Clock on the top to look at, instead of the monthly Star Wars character.

Said I would like my refund as he stated would happen in the magazine thread. Low and behold, no further communication.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

If people have received a calendar then they have been printed, so my guess is that either Steve is so poorly organized that he is not sure who paid and where to ship them or it could be a cash flow problem too, no money for shipping now since he spent the money he received up front to print them.

We can’t send your calendar if you don’t provide your address. It is not included in PayPal on our end, as far as I can find. |
