Replying to Ski magazines and their distribution

I think most of us who are subscribers to ski magazines would agree that some of our mags have definite distribution problems. I can forgive Freeskier because they're independent, and might not have access to the same resources as magazines owned by media conglomerates; but that said, Powder (Primedia) doesn't seem to have the best batting record, and even Freeze (Transworld) was inconsistent in its time.

So to anyone who knows- what's the deal? I'm asking because I'm doing a little test. I renewed or ordered subscriptions to Freeskier, Powder, SBC Skier and Transworld Snowboarding on the same day two weeks ago. TWS arrived today- let's see how long it takes the rest.
