I’ve been told that the craft, patchwork, quilting and other magazines from Express Publications are not welcome in craft shops. At least these businesses can exert control over what magazines they take. As I have noted here before, Express Publications abuse the generosity of newsagents in my view.
Hi Guys,
Just wanted to say that I am a craft shop in Victoria.
I am on the other side of the fence with Express.
They are trying their hardest to bankrupt me over a debt that I incurred through lots of bullying and falsehoods (too much detail to go into it). I was hoping to find other craft stores or other stores who have been mislead by Express Publications.
I am still defending their claims to bankrupt me but I have now contacted ACCC to see if they can lead an investigation into their bullying tactics.
From an agents point it is becomeing a war with these people, Stuff them .Always at the bottom of the stand
When I had my craft shop open, I was situated right next to the local Newsagency. I was contacted several times from Express to sell their mags in my store. Each time I told them that I wouldn’t do that to the Newsagency but they still continued to ring and get me to sell them. I never budged from my decision. It’s a shame I didn’t tell them to nickoff when the advertisers started their calls.
