Stringing their customers along isn't a great business plan

I have been trying to get a progress update today. I have arranged a meeting with the printers tomorrow. I will give an update on the progress sometime later in the day.

We have minimal access to the net at the moment, so online communication is suffering. Hopefully all will be sorted by the early hours of the morning.

I just hope we get the number of issues the subscription lists, rather than an automatic annual subs reminder when we're all 2 issues behind!!

I was talking to Jon at Interpro the other day, and sounds like there isn't a huge amount of staff to get everything done, so he's running around doing everything which can't be easy.. I'm sure they're trying their hardest..

Trying your hardest doesn't mean much if you don't deliver to the paying public I'm afraid.

A subscription is a contract - you pay...they deliver.Tried but failed doesn't release them from responsibility.

Many people (including me) paid for 12 issues/year which has shown to be so far off the mark its shocking.

Repeated BS about the delivery dates doesn't help the situation either.
