Newsagents are getting loaded up with tertiary education guides – not just from their state but others. Guides sell well in their local states. Interstate sales are weak. With cover prices up to $20.00 and newsagents having to pay well in advance of them selling or being returns, they are usually cash-flow negative. It’s an unreasonable grab for cash by the tertiary entrance committees and magazine distributors involved. A fairer approach would be for newsagents to control the quantity of stock they receive and have billing delayed until December with a January settlement. The current situation is unfair to newsagents.
