Hello All, So here we are. We knew this wasn't going to go over smoothly with everyone. As many of you have mentioned, Steve did write about this problem in the editorial of TRJ #49. We were faced with a problem in which the cost to mail the posters was going to increase more than 3 times over the year before. Ultimately, folding the posters was the best solution in the time we had. We are not entirely happy with it either. Several of you have said these posters are framed in your garage, and you have the entire collection. Some of you said you never took any of the previous ones out of the tubes. But, we still wanted all subscribers to received their complimentary poster. We are already looking into other options for the 2011 poster. Here is what we can offer at this time. The poster is for sale individually for 12.95 including shipping in the US. Or, our poster pack which includes all available TRJ posters is available for $16.95. Your poster pack can either include a mix of posters, or 5 of the the same poster and you can split the cost with your buddies. -AND- We will bring our remaining inventory of Poster #14 with us to shows. Any current subscriber can come up to us at our booth and we will give you another FREE one, without folds, while inventory lasts!! Your first chance to do so will be the Grand National Roadster Show at the end of the month. As always, we are very appreciative of your support and welcome this kind of feedback! Please feel free to contact our customer service reps at (800) 750-9550 or (650) 246-8920 if you have any additional questions. Sincerely, Chasity TRJ
That is a very fair offer, I will pick mine up Thursday at GNRS. That is more or what I would have expected from a high cl*** outfit like TRJ. We we be required to provide proof of Subscription? Thanks BB
Hi Chas***y: Sorry to have started this Brewhaa but I am sure glad that you guy's stepped up and came up with this solution. Thanks for Listening See ya there BB BTW I am on of those that have all of them hanging in my shop.
I didn't read the fine print and disclaimer earlier also. The poster arrived with deeper creases than some of my body parts. I should have looked into having one mailed in a tube for whatever the cost would have been. I'll probably use the creased one for a place mat tomorrow night at supper time.
We will not have a booth at Detroit this year. But we will be in the midwest for Goodguys Columbus. Sign up for the TRJ newsletter on our site at www.roddersjournal.com. We send out announcements regarding the shows we'll be attending. Chasity TRJ
I knew that the TRJ folks would try to work this out. They are a cl*** organization who put out a phenominal product. I look at the posters as nice thank you gift, and I wouldn't complain if they were tubed, folded, or whatever. Honestly, they aren't obligated to provide them, but do so anyway. I have been a subscriber since Day 1, when Steve was selling advance subscriptions from a little card table in the lobby at SEMA. I took one look at his advance copy and knew that I had to subscribe. Even to this day, I'll go back into the office and grab an old issue and sit in my recliner and read while the wife watches one of her nighttime TV shows that I couldn't give a **** about. Now that we're on the subject: Does anybody here have an extra Issue #3 they want to sell? I loaned mine out to somebody years ago and never got it back. It's the only one I'm missing.
