Stunt News postage
« on: September 26, 2012, 03:06:41 AM »
Can anyone tell me what the current difference is to US Stunt News subscribers between bulk postage and first class mail?  (Other than the extra $10 cost of course.)  Are the first class ones shipped unprotected like the bulk posted ones? An enquiring mind would like to know.

When I was getting the paper copy it would come in an envelope, first class postage.   Now I get the CD that comes in an hard cardboard envelope, that is also packed in a CD sleeve.  An the on line version comes across on the main computor screen or my lap top.  No thoughts of costs, other than is it enough to keep PAMPA Stunt News going.

If I was Downunder (and I wish I was!), I'd buy the download option and burn 'em onto a CD myself. The photo quality alone is more than enough to make up the difference. When I got the print version of SN, I found the photos in the District Reports to be frustrating and so when the CD option came along, I pounced!  #^ Steve

    I don't actually know any more. At one time, the CD option was the one that was losing money. It was almost as expensive to produce and ship as the magazine.

I'm with Noel on this.

In fact, I download each issue when it comes available—yes, the colour pics are better—but I read more of the magazine each night after I've gone to bed than I do on the computer. There will often be three or four issues sitting on the bedside table as I catch up with various articles or refresh my memory with others.

It might be good if the security settings on the PDF could be changed so that we can print sections of interest rather than the whole magazine.

The HP Photosmart Plus printer will print off certain pages if I tell it to.  But, I would not even think of printing off the whole issue.  Would cost more than the member ship.
