Rafael,
Thanks for your info. (2024, Aug 13) which gave me the idea of ordering the 2025 US Nautical Almanac since my last copy dates from 1983.
I subsequently ordered one copy from the source you indicated: https://bookstore.gpo.gov/products/nautical-almanac-year-2025. My order was duly received and registered altogether with its credit card payment on 2024 Sept 02.
Since I had not received my copy, on 2025, Jan 27 I logged a claim on this same ordering site to the Library section with all relevant data (Initial Order # and proof of payment from my Bank).
Within a couple hours, I received an e-mail reply from the US GPS Office stating that they would ship one copy to my home address to be hand delivered by UPS in France.
Further to this initial Jan 27th GPO acknowledgement, I got careful details about my shipment and tracking number first from GPO, then from UPS, and my 2025 NAL copy was hand delivered to me by mid-day to day Feb 06th, 2025. Happy me !
A personal experience here which prompts me to commend here the US GPO Library very kind and caring Assistant, a quite professional Lady who personally ensured that my claim would be fully resolved, which happened in just 10 days.
I immediately thereafter sent her a well deserved Thanks e-mail, which she smilingly acknowledged.
Kermit
