Magnus, could we have a list of places/companies that already receive Shufflegazine so as not to focus on those places?
Distribution of Shufflegazine is getting better by the month but there's still a lot of work to do.
What we like to ask of you all is if you go to any place where you would expect to find it for sale, like a petrol station, book store, super market, cafe, electronics store, etc. and it's not there please let us know (email me editor at shufflegazine dot com) with the name/location of the place.
Then we'll pass that on to our distribution company so next month it can be there for sale. It may also be that they're sold out and again the distribution company should know so they can replenish the copies.
This includes not only the UAE, but Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, and Lebanon as well. If you're in any other country also let us know and we'll see about the possility of getting the magazine to you as well.

Yesterday (Aug 13) I found my August Shufflegazine in my New Jersey mailbox. Its still the first half of August and I have the August issue, life is good.![]()
Magnus, We were at Dubai Mall and Shufflegazine isnt available at Book World there. Being (I think) the largest book store in the middle east, that might be target #1 for the Mag.
Not available at Magrudy's at Spinney's at Bur Dubai - Trade Centre. Also not available at Magrudy's at Burjuman
Come to think of it, not at Magrudy's Dubai Festival City either.
Someone needs to check borders. I will check Lulu Hypermarket and All Prints in Abu Dhabi next.
We're getting some more info from our distribution company. Shufflegazine is sent out to about 700 outlets in UAE alone (still waiting for non-UAE data) so it'll be a bit hard to post that complete list somewhere but we'll see what we can do.
All the outlets mentioned here we've sent to the distributor for them to check on.
Apparently Lulu and Spinneys in Abu Dhabi are a bit of a problem. They say Shufflegazine is not selling enough so they don't want to carry it. While that may be true we'd encourage anyone going to those locations to ask for Shufflegazine if it's not available on the shelves. In terms of distribution we feel it's too soon to decide whether it sells well or not since we've only been in these locations with one or two issues.
If there are known places in Abu Dhabi that do stock it it would be good to know. I mailed you rge the Spinneys, Lulu and Carrefour. Other than those I'm struggling to think of other outlets so I could ensure I get them until I subscribe.
