Life etc, the ABC badged magazine published by Universal magazines is another title which is consistently oversupplied. Given the excellent coverage provided on ABC TV, Radio and online to environmental issues, global warming in particular, I am surprised that the ABC would condone such waste. We consistently sell between twelve and fifteen copies a month out of twenty supplied. Yesterday we received twenty-five copies, a 25% kick in supply. Such a kick is not supported by the sales data.
I wonder how the ABC feels about such waste undertaken under its respected brand. There is nothing socially responsible about this behaviour.
NDD at their best!
Sales data since March:
March/April Recvd 21, sold 10
May/June Recvd 13, sold 8
July August Recvd 13, sold 6
Sep/Oct Recvd 18, a 38% kick in supply! to date sold nil.
Same @#!* different day with NDD.

Vaughan, I hold the publisher and distributor accountable. The publisher because they set the print run and the distributor because they control what I receive. Mark
In a newsagent’s view, the distributor must be responsible because it makes a decision to accept the publisher’s business. That decision includes elements such as their strategy, reputation etc.
