Folks Of Interest Steve Coonan at Louisville

This made me smile .We think alike.

 

Can anyone provide me with the new contact information of the Rodders Journal. I'm still waiting for my issue.

 

It’s already been posted in this thread.

 

Thank you Scott.

 

As a heads up many have had their’s for over a week…I got mine Saturday..I’m sure it will show up

 

Just got my copy of number 85 yesterday! Steve is a stand up guy !

 

Gee, I hope this all works out............I renewed my subscription at the SRN even though it wasn't expired yet. Haven't gotten my new issue yet either.

Sometimes ya just gotta have a little faith and try to help. Its obvious that when he is able to get the magazine out, the subscribers really like it. He looked like a down to earth kinda guy, not one of the guys with the suave corporate look that you can't trust any farther than you can see them. If he folds, it won't be from a lack of trying...........

 

Once it hits the Post Office,who knows what goes on? From postings here, it looks like the mag made it to Arizona five days earlier than it got to me, 200 miles from Denton, MD.

 

And I live 30 minutes away from TRJ and I got mine after some out of staters did. It’s all good.

 

Well, I am just hoping to see some of the naysayers who(somewhat justifiably) felt they lost their money and some of the folks who avowed they were scammed come back and have the decency to admit that perhaps they were hasty.

 

...My neighbor just across the street would sometimes get his a week before I would!! We got them on the same day this time. Hard to tell what goes on behind those Post Office doors sometimes.

 

I will say I was very disappointed at some of the comments I’ve read on social media, but I can understand. But this one comment was totally uncalled for imo. Back when TRJ sent out a newsletter earlier this year about the obstacles they were facing, a well known builder in the hot rod world (not saying who) responded on social media that Steve was a fu**ing liar about the situation. I thought that was very rude coming from a guy that got tons of coverage in TRJ throughout the years. Not sure if they ever saw the comment but I hope they did and never put any of his stuff in the mag ever again.

 

So my company is one of a few that supports Amazons conveyance. I’ve seen a USPS Priority 3 day delivery box on a cart since last week.

 

I received my copy over the weekend. Thanks Steve and everyone at RJ!!

 

As I read that a lot of guys had gotten the issue, I was glad to see you have just gotten yours, I've not yet.

 

I'm from Kentucky too, and I like it because it has more pictures than words. We seem to always be the last to get things. But.......that worked out well with the Covid virus.

 

Hopefully soon!

 

Got my issue this weekend. I’ll be renewing my subscription before it comes up for renewal and I’ll order some shirts also
Keep up the good work Steve. We’d love you to come down again to Florida. We’ve got that “bad boy “ art chrisman blown Flathead 32 that no one has seen

 

The Pony Express dropped mine off yesterday.........man, his horse is lookin old

 

Mine may be here soon!!!

 

Came today

 

Happy to represent….

 

Received mine on Tuesday. Here is a list of the Dealers stocking the Journal

 

Thanks all for updating when your copies showed up. I "think" I have an issue or so left on my subscription, but here in flyover country still haven't seen anything. Not surprised I guess. I'll probably just resubscribe if I don't see one in the next week or so.
I did get the new Hot Rod a few days ago though, so, there's that.. .

 

You should email or call them to see what’s up? I imagine if your sub is up they will mail a renewal notice.

 

Yeah, you're right and I will do that. But I'd bet the lines are probably still crammed with requests about now so I'll give it a little more time. I'm a patient man.
BTW, since you seem to be fairly close to the source I do appreciate all the input you've given on this. Very helpful!

 

So………..
Glad all you folks in the US are getting copies but has anybody outside the US actually received a copy yet?

 

The first notice of arrival here was on the 29th of last month so really less than 2 weeks ago. I'm guessing that shipping magazines is not a high speed priority for the USPS (is anything?). So it may be a while until your arrives. I am sure TRJ is trying. Patience is a virtue.

 

Sure wish I could report that I received my copy here in Canada.
I have been so hopeful that the situation that started well before any of the other things happened would be different this time around.

That situation was waiting 3-4 months after everyone else in the US had received their issues for ours to arrive. And even then it was hit and miss.

I thought at one time that being a subscriber meant being a valued customer that’s why I bought a lifetime subscription.
So far that hasn’t been the case.
Sit and wait. Oh well.

 

You’re just gonna have to wait.
Nothing else you can do. I’m sure you are a valued customer. If not they would have just given up. From what I understand there’s only a few people trying to get all the customer info sorted out so they can get subscribers’ mags out to them, and then they gotta do the same thing for all the merch orders. They are not super heroes with super powers. Once they get all the customers satisfied I imagine they will be back to operating at 100%.
I did get my mag in the mail BUT I still haven’t received the 4 back issues that I ordered last year in February. I will patiently wait. I’m confident that it will arrive at some point since I’m sure they have to sort through 100’s if not 1,000’s of orders.
