The other issues came in an envelope, while Crusader #4 was shipped as-is, with a mailing label. Maybe that's the difference.
Well then that may explain it!
Magazines will NEVER make it here if they're not preoperly sealed in a plastic bag. This is one of the reasons I've always shyed away from subscriptions to anything. The Dungeon subscription was thankfully sealed in a water tight plastic bag otherwise I would not have considered renewing it. Not only will the magazines be torn to shreds during the shipment as they move from place to place, box to box, bin to bin, etc... but in the winter they would get all wet and such. It's just stupid to ship a magazine, especially one of such cheap paper quality, without being properly sealed. I know I didn't pay much for the subscription so I half expected this, but if the trolls want to be taken seriously, then perhaps the quality should be looked at. From what I've seen on these boards, the paper qualtity of issue 4 was not all that great either!
At this point, I honestly don't care. If it arrives then I'll read it, if not, then no big loss. I will however think twice before ordering anything of significance in the future.
