BTM Mailings?
« on: September 23, 2004, 03:45:30 AM »
I ordered a subscription of BTM and I was told the mailings are typically done towards the end of the month.  Can anyone say when they normally receive theirs?

I don't know if all Metro Detroit areas get their BTMs at the same time, but mine usually comes at the very end of the magazine's cover month, sometimes early in the next month.  I've gotten it as early as the 21st, but not often.  The pro shop I go to in Skore Lanes in Taylor always has them for sale way before I get mine in the mail.

BTM indicates many deliveries should be in the 22nd - 30th day of the month. I believe the distribution point into the USPS mailing system is somewhere on the West Coast. I say that because I am on the East coast and typically get my issue around the 27th/28th of the month. Some people talk about the current issue here on ballreviews as early as the 15th & 18th of the month.

Besides being what coast you are on, it also depends on your individual Post Office.  I also live on the East Coast and I usually receive my copy at the very end of the month.  Two of my friends who also receive BTM that live in 2 different towns from me(in the same state) would receive their copy at least a week before I did.  When I called my PO and asked why, I was told that my area had more catalogs and this sort of mail delivered and it held up the magazine deliveries as well.  Don't know if this was BS or not but that's what I was told.  Take care....JS
