Network Services sent us four copies Diamond Rings magazine. had they asked us we’d have said no thanks. Instead, they sent the four copies. I am guessing they thought the delayed billing to the end of September let them think it was okay. It is not okay sending a title we are not likely to sell and for which we have no space and no decent category. It sucks that we had to send back all four copies as full returns – what a waste of money.
This is a perfect example of how newsagents are disadvantaged over our biggest competitors in the magazine space.
We placed these split between wedding and womens interest but they will be returned at months end if none sell.
