No matters on station?No copy on station?

We're improving they way we distribute MATTERS all the time, but we're still a bit new to this sort of thing and so mistakes are bound to happen now and again. If you don't have any copies of the magazine on station we'd say a big thank you if you could let us know. And, of course, we'll fix it.
