Page 9 of 25:3 says files for this issue can be downloaded but the ‘Files’ section of the web site only goes up as far as 24:6. Am I doing something wrong?

Answering my own question the relevant files are here (http://www.archivemag.co.uk/issues/2503/ )

The website will be reborn in due course. I had hoped to have it complete for this issue, but babies and things got in the way.

Update:

While the majority of subscribers seem to have received their copy of Archive 25:3 a couple of weeks ago, the day after they were posted (at least in the UK), I have received several emails this week about it still not turning up. After digging into it, they all appear to be from the same batch of 78 copies, as confirmed on the Royal Mail Click and Drop website. (We split the posting up into several batches for convenience, all posted on the same day.) I have placed a call with Royal Mail Support, although I don’t expect much of a resolution.

If you haven’t received your copy yet, I’d be grateful if you could send a quick email to gavin@archivemag.co.uk to let me know. This will help me confirm my theory about this particular batch. If it hasn’t turned up in a day or two, I will have to replace the whole batch. In the meantime, I can send a unique link to a PDF copy to tide you over.

Apologies if you are one of the 78!

Update 2:

I got enough responses to confirm that all missing the latest issue were from the same batch, so, this evening, I sent a second copy to all 78 affected, by first class. Hopefully the new batch will be with subscribers by Saturday. Thanks to those who got in contact.

Hope you got proof of posting & so are going to receive loads of books of free stamps off royal mail!

The postage is purchased through Royal Mail Click & Drop online, so I’m reasonably confident of (eventually) getting a refund.

Good luck with getting a refund. I used click and drop for something that needed tracked. Then found the only Drop off point nearby was closed so posted at the post office paying them. I then asked for a refund for the the unused ‘pre paid label’ after a couple of weeks got an email saying claim refused with no reason.

Good luck with getting a refund.

Well, Chris, your scepticism was well-founded!
