pichomeA newsagent dent through this photo of Picture 100% Home Girls which cannot be sent to sub agents as it is not bagged as it usually is. This will result is 100% returns and that could play out in future supply.

The production error will be costly for newsagents and the publisher.

    I’m not sure how widespread the problem is. I am aware of at least one other Newsagent impacted with un-bagged copies , as well as being aware of one who had a bagged copy.

    Hopefully there will be a new Distribution otherwise I will lose the income from the roughly 16 copies we normally sell.

    It’s good to see NW ‘standing firm’ on the issue with this publication. Certainly you would not expect a ‘limp’ response for such a title 🙂

    I suspect that Network have acted fast on this because they need to protect themselves legally (if a newsagent got the unbagged stock and sold it either not knowing the regulations or not caring, Network could get in trouble for not following the law)
