as  a  postal employee that has  worked every delivery position and sorting job (I got hurt one winter)   

I never noticed magazines  not getting sent out and just sitting around.

One day or 2 delays maybe but not a week on those what we call flats.
I kinda don't think  the Postal  Service should take the  whole blame for the late  magazines.  Maybe some of it but not all of it.
