As of Sunday November 26, 2023 I have not yet received either [personal or affiliate] paper copy of the November issue of Chess Life. Since the last time this happened it was an issue with the USCF printer I am asking if the problem has reoccurred. We are talking about 2 separate addresses and 2 different post offices here.

I got my copy, though I think it was mid-month. November’s issue is often delayed because the printers are busy doing catalogs (jobs that pay better).
I also received the affiliate copy in mid-month (I’m a Life member that opted out of receiving a personal copy since the affiliate copy was already coming to me).
Double-check your preferences to see if you are still set to receive the printed copies for your personal membership.
I have never opted out, and never will.
I received mine in California one week ago.
I opted out by letting the confirmation deadline pass. I don’t know if there was another confirmation deadline more recently (seeing as I already opted out by default) but it may still be worthwhile double-checking that. Go into your dashboard, opt to update your profile, and look under the communication settings / magazine preference.
