We are also getting reports that Bunte and Frau im Spiegel issue 19, mailed on April 25th, are experiencing delays. We do not know the reason for this and ask you to be patient.

4/22/13 - Flight delays

Due to a flight cancellation, Der Spiegel and other magazines scheduled for arrival this weekend cannot be picked up from the airport until late Monday afternoon. As a result, we will be unable to mail them, or ship them to retailers, until Tuesday the 23rd. Expect your magazines to arrive one day later than usual. We apologize for the delay and thank you for your patience.

4/18/13 - Mailings on time

Most mailings since April 11th are on or close to schedule and should arrive approximately when expected.

12/5/11 - Post Office Closings

Important announcement about postal delivery:

The Postal Service announced the closing of roughly 250 of the nearly 500 mail processing centers across the country as early as March 2012. The consolidations will typically lengthen the distance mail travels from/to the local post office to/from a mail processing center. Mailers can no longer expect next-day delivery in surrounding communities. Additionally, the USPS recently announced that delivery standards have been relaxed. All mail, even First Class, will take at least a day (or two) longer than earlier this year. You can be assured we are committed to providing our customers with timely and efficient magazine and newspaper delivery.
