I have received plenty of calls from newsagents asking how to stop Gordon and Gotch sending books with their magazine deliveries. I’d suggest the following:
- Write to Gotch on letterhead listing your account number asking that they do not supply you with any books without your express permission.
- Explain that you do not have the fixtures or space to support their books in yoour store.
- Note that since these are books, and not magazines, you cannot be held responsible for this unexpected and non-standard product and therefore accept no responsibility.
- Note that should they ignore your wishes you will have no choice but to return unsold product at their cost.
- Consider sending the letter by Express Post -so you have a record of delivery. Fax yould be equally as good.
Of course, if you are happy getting these books then do nothing. I am sure they will continue to come.
