That sounds good. BTW, I would like to know if I am subscribed. I asked that via mail, too, but haven't received an answer, yet. With that mail I told you my new adress since I have moved to another city a month ago. Could you please check it?

80 pages yet? Soon you can call it "Kendo World Quarterly Book". I eagerly await the articles about nito, since one of my friends uses it.

Thanks in advance,

Stefan

[Alex]

what mail address did you send your query to? We would have answered if we got it.

[Stefan]

what mail address did you send your query to? We would have answered if we got it.

A

I sent one to editor@kendo-world.com and one to subscribe@kendo-world.com. The first contained a question concerning the possibility to gain the permission to translate some articles and the second contained my question about the subscription and my new address. But I will send them again.

Bye,

Stefan

[hamish]

Hi Stefan,

We received both of your mails, and 3.2 should be going to your new address.

Hamish

[Alex]

Stefan,

which articles do you want to translate?

[Stefan]

Hi Stefan,

We received both of your mails, and 3.2 should be going to your new address.

Hamish

You guys rule.

[Dave Fowler]

I still haven't seen any back issues, or new ones for that matter yet. :lick:

[hamish]

Bugger.....We've been through 2 clerical staff at the mailhouse recently, so the follow-up may have slipped through the cracks there.

[j2023]

has my subscription request been processed? thank you for your time.

[Alex]

somebody must have received the mag by now...:ponder:

[Curtis]

somebody must have received the mag by now...:ponder:I have not got mine yet, but I did get hold of Kendo Nippon yesterday.

I am sure I renewed.

[DCPan]

Ditto on the "did not receive".

Bennett sensei...awesome kamae/kigurai in the "kendo shodan shinza" DVD! :D

[Paikea]

Likewise, and looking back at the old bills - I don't believe the cc was processed when I subscribed.

[lucian]

Still no sign of mine either, anyone else's arrived yet?

[hamish]

We always get problems around Christmas, and it seems this year is no exception. Always a problem when most of the country sends Christmas cards gifts etc. to relatives who've 'fled' the country, and I think the postal system gets a bit overloaded. I'll follow up and double-check subscribers are all accounted for, and we have no address issues, after that, its over to the postal system!

Hamish

[burger boy]

Anyone get the new issue yet?

Nothing here, central New Jersey.

burger boy

[Alex]

There seems to be a problem.

[hamish]

We haven't been able to get in touch with the mailhouse over the New Year's break, but will have an update of the situation for everyone on this coming Monday the 9th.

[h2o]

Just a small question. I am a subscriber since December 23rd, so I guess my first issue will be the one released in January and not the one released in December?

[hamish]

Your first one will be 3.2, which should have been released in December, but due to the mailhouse stuff up, was sent out last week. We are still trying to get a reason from them as to why they didn't send it out! Expect it to take around 4 weeks to get to you.

Thanks! I'll just sit and eagerly wait for it then ;)

[vyung]

YAY!!! I got the latest Kendo World magazine in my mail yesterday (Vol.3 No.2 2005).

This magazine is so THICK! And the quality of the articles in this issue is very high. I will be reading it this weekend.

To the Kendo World team, thank you for all your hard works!

[Alex]

Thank God!!! That means it has finally been sent...:down:

[Charlie]

Michigan checking in! Got mine yesterday and it looks great!

(I owe you guys an e-mail because I got two copies, actually. Not sure if you meant that extra for my own records in exchange for the writing or if it was a mistake. Be happy to either send the mag back or pass it on to some deserving kendoka.)

[eric]

I am just wondering, being in MIchigan and all about this issue. I just recently was signed up for a subscription for Christmas and was wondering if it started with this issue. Please let me know, Cheers!

[burger boy]

New issue just got to New Jersey, wrapper came off just minutes ago.
Looks great. Reading time...

[crabbi]

The KW Mag has landed !!!

Received mine this morning...Excellent ...even better than usual...!!!

Thanks guys !!!!

[don don]

[hamish]

Eric - Yes it does.

Regards

Hamish

[Nagi David]

[eric]

Hamish-

Thank you I will wait paitentily for the issue. Cheers!

[DCPan]

Just got it!

Very awesome issue!

Thanks again!

[Stefan]

One sent to Germany has arrived and I'm very happy.

Thanks,

Stefan

[KenShi_JoB]

I subscribed since September, but did not receive any confirmation. I asked by e-mail but did not receive any reply. Please check my subscrption for me.

Sanpat Suwannathat, Niigata, Japan.

[tantadi]

Haven't got it...:-(

[ratdeau]

Still waiting...:confused:

[h2o]

Still waiting...:confused:
Neither have I, but if it has arrived in both germany and england, I guess it should be here quite soon...

[usagi yojimbo]

Got mine yesterday!!! Fantastic job guys. Will definitely renew my subscription today. what is better, e-mail or fax?

[eric]

Just wanted to let you know that it is the end of january and I have not received mine yet. Just letting you know while waiting patiently. Cheers!

[ratdeau]

Just wanted to let you know that it is the end of january and I have not received mine yet. Just letting you know while waiting patiently. Cheers!
Same for me.

[Alex]

Hmmm should be there by now, if not very soon...Give it another couple of weeks lads, and then let us know.

[usagi yojimbo]

How do I confirm that my subscription renewal has been received?

[Alex]

Hi Usagi,

when you renew your subscription, you should receive notification. If you did not then it probably did not go through. Please send a mail to editor@kendo-world.com with your details and Hamish will be able to check the database.

Cheers,

Alex

[ratdeau]

Still nothing. Is it normal?

[Alex]

still nothing what?

[Alex]

you have not received the magazine, or you did not receive confirmation?

[ratdeau]

you have not received the magazine, or you did not receive confirmation?
I did not recieve the magazine.
I suscribed for one year and ordered the previous issues. I recieved a confirmation when I paid with my Visa Card.

[Alex]

okay. As I said in a previous post, please send your details to editor@kendo-world.com and I will get Hamish to check the database and see what's up.

[KenShi_JoB]

I also didn't receive the magazine and I send an email three times already, no reply at all. Please check for me.

[Alex]

I personally replied to your mail. Check your spam filter. Hamish is in NZ at the momemt, and I have sent him your query. As I said in the mail I sent you a few weeks ago, we will resend your magazine after checking the database.

[Alex]

It would be really nice to hear from people who have actually received the magazine after informing us it hasn't arrived yet!

[KenShi_JoB]

Okay,thank you very much

[eric]

I am sorry to inform you that I have not received the issue yet either. I am sure this is simply a new subscription issue. I will let you know as soona s it arrives. Cheers!

[tantadi]

Neither have I. I ordered the backcatalogue and a year subscription sometime before christmas. Got the backcatalogue, but not the new issue (yet).

[h2o]

Hmmm should be there by now, if not very soon...Give it another couple of weeks lads, and then let us know.
It's been over a month now, and my magazine has still not showed up. :(

[Alex]

Oh dear...I hate it when that happens.:disapp:


Please send me your details to editor@kendo-world.com. I will get Hamish to get onto it immediately, check out what's gone wrong, and get a new one sent out to you straight away. Sorry for the inconvenience.

No problem. I've sent you an email with my details.

[KenShi_JoB]

I also still not receive the magazine, I think you know about my issue already, but I will send a mail again anyway.

[eric]

Alex,

I still have not received my issue and have e-mailed you on the delay. Please let me know what is up. Cheers!

[ratdeau]

-Eric

Me too. I still have not received my issue too.

[Alex]

Sorry guys. I have just moved to Tokyo for a new job and have been offline for the last week. Anyway, in regards to the missing magazines, this is indeed a concern. If you have been sending mails to editor@kendo-world.com you would get a reply from myself or Hamish as soon as we see it. If you have not received a reply, it means that your mail hasn't arrived, or our reply is being blocked fro some reason.

We have been having problems with magazines and books not arriving, and it is frustrating the hell out of us too! We have taken 2 measures to alleviate the situation.

1. We have moved all of our stock from NZ to Singapore as we find the Singapore dispatch compnay to be more reliable. Having said that, there is nothing we can do about the repsective postal systems in each country.

2. We are making an all new HP with a new ordering setup. We will be using registered post from now on as this way we will be able to keep track of every item that is sent. It will be a little more expensive, but much more reliable. That will be implemented in the coming weeks.

As for the missing magazines, I have alerted Hamish to this page and the people on it. He will do another check, and resend the mags.

Thank you for your patience!

Alex

[tantadi]

I did get a mail response, but no mag...

[Alex]

Still!? We will get it to you.

[eric]

I have also received an e-mail message about a month or so ago and have not recieved anything yet. If you need any help with publishing and distribution of the magazine/journal e-mail me. I have some experience in academic publishing, but I am sure you guys have already been through the ringer with every option. Cheers!

[Alex]

Thanks Eric,

yeah we have certainly gone through the grinder. Our system is good in theory, but for some reason, a lot of our stuff seems to go missing in the post. We can make sure that mags and books are actually sent, but there is no way to know when they will arrive. Also, there seem to be certain addresses that no matter how many times a mag is sent, it just refuses to arrive! Our record is sending a mag 4 times (to an address in Hawaii) and it still didn't get there. In the end, we just took it on the chin and FedEx'd it. Ended up costing us a fortune...

Apart for that, as you may have guessed, we were having a few problems with out distributor (mail house) in NZ. They used to be very good, but a couple of their excellent staff members left, and their reliability went out the window. That's what makes it so frustrating for us all. Anyway, as soon as our new system with registered post is set into motion, this problem should be alleviated.

Hamish is checking up on your mag. It was resent by Airmail and should be there by now! We will get it to you by hook or by crook.

[eric]

Thanks everyone at Kendo World. I am aware of some of these problems working in an English Department and attempting to get our internationally circulated Journal of Narrative Technique out. It is a pain in the... Anyway, thanks again for the help. If you are in need of a change or want to investigate I have heard of and worked well with Blackwell Publishing for academic journals. They do a bunch and handle subscriptions as well. (I do not work for them I promise). Anyway, have a good day. Cheers!

[hamish]

For Eric and Tantadi, and others whose magazines haven't arrived yet, my apologies for the holdups. As Alex mentions above we have had some problems with the postal service, but also with our mailhouse, which is unacceptable, and we are in the final throes of moving all our magazines to our Singapore distributors. I have been looking into the missing issues, and am sending replacements out as soon as I've ascertained that payments went through OK.

I'm sorry for the problems that we've had, but I feel confident that the change of mailhouse and also our new on-line ordering system that we are getting built from the ground up by a professional coder will get rid of the causes of most of our issues.

Thhankyou again for your patience, and your support of Kendo World.

Hamish

[creepieguy]

Thanks for the update. I've tried to subscribe and buy some back issues; however, the charges never went through. I've emailed a couple of times and received only one response (back on March 12).

Please keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks!

(Eric Falls - Atlanta, GA)

[eric]

I am still waiting...now almost 6 months...please let me know if you have sent. My e-mail has not been responded too. Thank you.

[KenShi_JoB]

I am still waiting...now almost 6 months...please let me know if you have sent. My e-mail has not been responded too. Thank you.

Me too. I don't think Japanese postal service is the problem. (I live in Japan)

Best Regards,
Sanpat Suwannathat

[h2o]

Mine has not arrived either, even after contact with KW
My second e-mail was not replied to.

[Alex]

We ALWAYS reply to mails when they arrive. Please send your details again to editor@kendo-world.com and we will resend. They are sent from Singapore now.

[JSchmidt]

I re-subscribed on the 17th of April, including 1 back issue, sent one email 2 weeks ago to ask what was going on...have heard nothing since.

[Alex]

Well,

I've just search through all the mails sent to editor@kendo-world.com. There is nothing from you in the mail box or the SPAM filters. If we don't get your mail for whatever reason, we can't act on it.

[creepieguy]

I just sent another email to editor@kendo-world.com. We'll see if you get it. My guess is that there is something blocking at your ISP. Perhaps foreign IP blocks, or something?

[Alex]

creepieguy

thank you for helping us test the system. Unfortunately, your mail is nowhere to be found, which has me very worried!!!

We are putting the final touches on a completely new HP (complete with new ordering facilities etc.) so I will contact the guy who is doing it for us to look into this mail problem ASAP.

It is very frustrating to have people say that we never reply to mails when we are not receiving them. And it must be just as frustrating for people who send us mails who are not getting replies! At least we now know there is a technical glitch somewhere.

Ah, I mailed to subscriptions@kendo-world.com (http://www.fastmail.fm/mail/?MLS=MB-*;SMB-MF-SF=Date_1;SMB-MF-DI=50;SMB-MF-TP=0;SMB-FT-TP=0;Ust=6f37d790%2166d041aa;SMB-CF=1553838;UDm=49;Uid=;MSignal=MC-CreateFromMsg*U-1*1791*1) as that is the link on the subscription page and seemed most appropiate.

[creepieguy]

I just re-re-re-sent it to editor@kendo-world.com and subscribe@kendo-world.com.

My info is:
Eric Falls
efalls@biltmorecomm.com

[ratdeau]

Did you recieve my order in December?

On that note, I have sent two e-mails to the editor alias and received no reply. Btw, I received e-confirmation of my subscription to KWM but have not received an edition (and I included a back-order of the most recent edition in that order).

Can you let me know the status of my subscription?

Thank you very much

[Alex]

I won't be able to check editor until tonight. When did you make the order? I will get Hamish to get onto it.

[h2o]

Still no magazine, and my last email was not responded to. I'll try sending you another one though.

[Gessho]

I'll have to look through my statements but it was a credit card order through the web site and it may have been about two months ago.

[Gessho]

I won't be able to check editor until tonight. When did you make the order? I will get Hamish to get onto it.

Just found my e-mail confirmation from you folks. It was May 15th.

[eric]

I was so excited about getting my copy of kendo world and now it has been 8 months and I have not received it. I have received two reply e-mails with the response of we are working on it. I am published in an issue of kendo world on Michigan Kendo and I can not get the next issue? I am very concerned here and would like to find out what is going on. I know that e-mail is more discrete but I am at the point of being slightly upset that I have not recieved any confiirmation on address or anything. Please respond to allow me to be more at ease. At this point it is past the oh we are having problems with whatever... My subscription was placed in December and I have received nothing about an address confirmation. Please, Alex and Hamish, let me know what is going on. You have my e-mail and have responded to it before. It is eric abbey at hot mail dot com (without spaces). Thank you in advance. Have a good day.

[Alex]

I am just as livid as you are!!! It was my understanding that the magazine had been resent about 3 times. I have just got off the phone to Hamish about it to find out what the hell is going on, as I am sick to death of trying to cover for that side of the operation. We will make it worth your while.

[eric]

Thank you for the response here. Cheers!

[Huddo]

Guys,

I'm not sure if it's my spam filter or yours but we seem not to be able to reach each other and I'm still not sure what the status is to my subsrciption

Could I ask you to contact me on both of the following emails - hopefully we will reach each other !

ahuddos@yahoo.com.au

and

huddos@hotmail.com

Appreciate your help

Cheers

Andrew

[Alex]

I will get Hamish onto it now.

Cheers,
Alex

[Huddo]

Thanks Alex

Cheers

Andrew

[Huddo]

Guys,


It seems that my original subsription never went through, so I faxed through a new subscription form to Fax Nm +64-9-625-3006 last Monday and have heard nothing back.


Can u please let me know if/when it's going to be processed and get back to me

Thanks

Andrew

ahuddos@yahoo.com.au

[Alex]

We have stopped using the distributor at that FAX number, so the FAX will not have gone through. We had to move everything to Singapore. Please try and purchase online again.

[Huddo]

Alex,

Can u provide a company name, contact name and fax nm for Singapore. I'll then print the old form and fax through. Sorry to sound awkward, but recently had someone fraudgenly use my credit card and not keen on sharing these details over the net unless I get all the icons appearing on my screen confirming that the transaction is encrypted - which I not getting.


If you post the details, you'll have a new subscriber tonight


Cheers

Andrew

[Gessho]

We have stopped using the distributor at that FAX number, so the FAX will not have gone through. We had to move everything to Singapore. Please try and purchase online again.

Does this apply to those of us who ordered via your online form?

[hamish]

Huddo, I've got your sub, and it should have been there by now. Eric, I ordered it to be Fedexed to you, but it seems that hasn't happened! We should have moved our mailhouse to Singapore a long time ago, I'm afraid.

I'm sorry for the holdups, its almost as frustrating for us as it is for you when things don't go smoothly.

I will update the subscription form to go to my home fax, avoiding any issues like yours, Huddo. What browser are you using? On my tests, the closed padlock icon always comes up when I use the subscription page.

Hamish

[hamish]

No, Gessho, the online orders are OK.


Does this apply to those of us who ordered via your online form?

[Huddo]

Hi Hamish,

Thanks for letting me know, haven't seen anything yet but will confirm once recieved

With regards to Browser, using MS Explorer V6.

Thanks for your help - much appreciated !

Cheers

Andrew

[bobdonny]

Was about to order also hamish and there was indeed no padlock or certificate as huddo suggests......

the link ye have from the magazine section is this
http://www.kendo-world.com/magazine/subscriptions/subscription_e.htm

Notice this is not a secure http site (address is http not https)
Lads use the same hyperlink as above just add an "s" to the http part as follows
https://www.kendo-world.com/magazine/subscriptions/subscription_e.htm and that is now secure!

I'd also update the site hamish as this is a pretty big flaw for people buying online.

[Gessho]

No, Gessho, the online orders are OK.

Thank you. Does that mean my original order stands and that I will receive the magazine?

[counterattack]

We have stopped using the distributor at that FAX number, so the FAX will not have gone through. We had to move everything to Singapore. Please try and purchase online again.

How about mail order? is the address still the same?

[hamish]

I'm updating the forms. They are forwarding anything on to us, so no orders will be misplaced even if they go to the old address.

Hamish

[Gessho]

I'm updating the forms. They are forwarding anything on to us, so no orders will be misplaced even if they go to the old address.

Hamish

I am still curious as to the status of my order which was placed several months ago...is this a lost cause?

[Huddo]

Guys,

Sorry to say but I too have seen nothing arrive in the mail.

[Ramen]

Hi, I subscribed to the mag I think about a month back, ordered some back copies about 2 weeks back and just today ordered the Kata book. Haven't received anything and am concern given the thread discussion. Can you advise which is likely to have been processed and not. Please advise e-mail to send you details. Thanks.

[Alex]

Hamish will check but he is in Australia for work at the moment. Give it a couple more weeks before you start worrying.

[Gessho]

To all subscribers!!!

The long awaited 3.2 edition of Kendo World was sent to subscribers today

(December 1 2005). :smiley:

You should receive it before Xmas. If you haven't received it by January, please contact us at editor@kendo-world.com

BTW we plan to publish 3.3 in January. We already have 80 pages completed, so it isn't far away.

Cheers for your patience.

Alex and Hamish :smiley:

Am I subscribed? I received an order confirmation and nothing else after that and I have been asking this same question for about 4 months.

[Huddo]

Hey Gessho,

That would make an interesting poll question :gasmask:

I'm starting to wonder if the answer is amazon.com, seems you can order back issues via them. It probably couldn't take any longer........................

Cheers

Andrew

[Alex]

Hamish is in Australia at the moment for work. He is the only one who can access the database so I cannot answer you. Gessho, I was told by Hamish that your order had been resent 3 times. I am sorry it hasn't arrived, but it will get there.

Trying to get kendo information out through KW is nothing but constant stress. All we hear are complaints, and recently sarcasm. Personally, I would rather be spending more time with my family. Time to pull the plug.

I use sarcasm to mask my pain. :cool: However, I certainly do appreciate your diligent efforts (no sarcasm). The inbox for Hamish is full and e-mails are bouncing back hence the post online. In my case, I have made an order twice (once 4 months ago and then again the other day) so I hope we can settle the billing issues.

[Kenshi]

Time to pull the plug.

what if you get rid of the forums and just produce the occasional book and mag... maybe without subscription? this way could run things a bit more relaxed, and you wouldnt get all these subscription problems and subsequent complaints.

im sure by now you can guess the average readership? just print out a set number of magazine copies and when they run out, well, they run out. raise the price and print and distribute them from japan. [setting up an online shop that utilises paypal should be easy]

you could always release the magazines as online-books... this would cut the price and remove the need for distribution completely.

if i had your level of japanese and a 6th dan i would probably do it myself.

anyway, just my thoughts. im sure youve thought this through more than me. youve started something of that was very cool here...(i remember the dark-ages of kendo missinformation and rumour)... it would be a shame to just end it.

personally, im suprised you managed in this manner for so long!!!!

[Alex]

If Hamish would just find an internet connection...

[Kenshi]

If Hamish would just find an internet connection...

hahahahah its that easy is it!?!?

[Alex]

of course not, but it would help in trying to track down missing issues at the moment. Hamish is in Australia missing presumed fed, and I cannot do anything until he looks at his mails.

[Huddo]

Alex,

Firstly, my reply was not warranted and I apologise for any offence it may have caused..

If the issues are logistics related IE the distribution of the magazines once printed, I'd be happy to take a look at the distribution/logistics processes behind how it's done.

FYI I've been designing supply chain solutions for a number of years and would be happy to see if I could offer any thoughts on how to straighten this situation out.............

If your interested, drop me a private message with an email address.

Cheers

Andrew

[Alex]

No offence taken at all. I am equally frustrated with why such a simple thing as a magazine delivery can go so horrendously wrong. We were supposed to have a brand new fail-safe system up and running 2 months ago. The good thing about the system is that even a technology anti-christ like me will be able to get into the databases and confirm all orders (something which only Hamish can do at the moment.) All I can ask for is a little more patience.

:puzzled:

[Gessho]

"...you could always release the magazines as online-books... this would cut the price and remove the need for distribution completely.

Yea, verily.

[Alex]

I finally got hold of the elusive Mr. H last night. He knows about his mail box now so it should have been cleaned out. Gessho, your order will now be FEDEXed. As for e-publishing, we are looking at the possibility of doing that for back issues...First things first though.

Thank you. I just received the two back issues yesterday.
