Imported magazines out of date

Like many imported titles with a seasonal theme it can be out of date by the time it arrives in the shops.

While I like the point of difference stocking such titles offers newsagencies, it makes the shop look lazy to have such Christmas stock on the shelves.

    More poor management by the distributers. I wonder if they even looked at what they were sending?

    As problems like this occur it agains raises the issue (as it does every other week), why?

    Distributors arent just hurting their own pocket by supplying something that wont sell, their damaging their relationship with their most valuable clients … newsagents.

    Scratches head and sighs once again
