    Have any other Ring mag subscribers had any trouble getting their magazines lately? First the March issue now the April issue never arrived at my door. I contacted The Ring and they swear that they mailed them out and even mailed two of the March issue after I complained, and I have no reason to doubt them. I have been subscribing off and on since 1970 and can't ever remember an issue not showing up, and now two in a row are missing. I call the local post office and the guy pretty much didn't want to be bothered saying "We send out what comes to us" and "I'll talk to your carrier" and then dismissing me. I have no doubt somebody in the postal chain is snatching them and probably selling them on ebay. The post offices are hiring anybody off the street anymore and I'll bet some of these people are sticking whatever they think they can sell under their shirt and walking out of there. I am beyond angry and frustrated but what can I do? Does anybody know any postal departments where I can get some kind of answers? Is this happening to anybody else? Aaaarrrrrrrrggggggggg!!!! Thanks

    Yeah, I've been a subscriber for over 30 years. No problem getting issues that I've noticed.

    I get it online too. It comes with a subscription. But I don't subscribe to have to read it on my phone. The app won't even work on my laptop. I've concluded that some scumbag at the post office is taking them and selling them on ebay

    Never been a subscriber, but about a decade ago a co-worker of mine had a part time job at a distributor. He gave me the monthly issues of Ring Mag and Boxing Digest for about 2 years. AWESOME!!

    Why on earth do you subscribe to the Golden Boy rag otherwise known as The Ring in better days??? When Oscar bought it & Fired all the good people & good writers It lost all credibility. I'll bet poor old Nat Fleischer rolls in his grave seeing what they di to a once great Bible of Boxing

    Save this nonsense for another thread please. I'm trying to find out if other subscribers have been having problems getting their magazines. Thomas Hauser is a monthly contributor. Are you saying he is not a good writer? It's a good read that I look forward to every month. If you don't have something worthwhile to contribute to the thread don't bother

    Actually I didnt know Thomas was contributing now I agree & respect Thomas as great writer. Have you ever read his book The Life & Times of Muhammad Ali ?? That was the best book written about Ali.
    I cancelled my subscription when De laHoya aquired it & fired the editor & the good writers. Not too many in the business give it much credibility these days. If you enjoy it Go for it its a free country I'll pass

    Same here. Cancelled after DLH bought it. I still see good articles every now and then from them but I also see blatant bias too.

    Fair enough. Sorry if I was a little snarky but I'm po'ed. My post office is like a black hole for valuables. I'm sure they have sold on ebay already

    Dropped my decades long prescription in 2010 after their shamelessly treated it like the greatest thing in history anytime Manny Pacquiao had a bowel movement, while at the same time going out of their way to disparage and belittle every one of Floyd Mayweathers successes.
    It's been 11 years and I haven't looked back since
