Here's a Word Problem:

In December 2005, Jeffrey sends $40 for a subscription to a quarterly DVD magazine. In June 2006, the end of the second quarter of the year, he has not recieved anything. Jeffrey sends 2 e-mails to the people responsible for this ridiculous lapse of customer service. The next day the first reply says, "You should get it any day now." 2 hours later, the other response says, "It will ship to you in a few weeks." Then a THIRD mysterious e-mail arrives proclaiming the DVD magazine will ship at the end of June.

Who is lying? Please show all work.

Bonus question: How are they going to do a quarterly magazine when the 1st one is six months late?
