`Sunday Post' undelivered<\/p>\n
Following the many notices and the advertisement in The
\nJakarta Post, I made an effort on Sunday, Sept. 18, to rub the
\nsleep out of my eyes at 7 a.m. instead of 8 a.m.<\/p>\n
I had decided to improve the quality of my Sunday lie-
\nin...wash away the blues, so from 7 a.m. I awaited the arrival of
\nthe much needed Sunday edition (being a langganan, subscriber,
\nfor eight years now). I romped, I stomped and finally by 9 a.m.,
\nhunched my knees up to my chest and kept my fingers crossed.<\/p>\n
By 10.30 a.m. my delivery agent informed me that they had not
\nyet received the Sunday papers from the printers. Finally by 11
\na.m. I engrossed myself in Ripley's Believe it or not, wondering
\nif the above issue deserved a mention there.<\/p>\n
SUBASH ADWANI<\/p>\n
Jakarta<\/p>\n
Note: We are sorry to learn that many of our customers did not
\nreceive the maiden issue of The Jakarta Post 's Sunday edition.
\nFor your information, distribution of printed media (newspapers,
\ntabloids and magazines) is done by Agencies or sub-agencies. They
\nare private firms who buy the newspapers from publishers and sell
\nthem either to readers on a retail basis or deliver them to
\nsubscribers.<\/p>\n
The fact is neither The Jakarta Post nor the agencies have the
\npower to control sub-agencies. Except for official agencies it is
\nimpossible for us to expect loyalty on the part of the
\nagencies\/sub-agencies to only one publisher because they serve a
\nnumber of publishers at the same time.<\/p>\n
Readers and potential subscribers are best advised to contact
\nthe Circulation Department of The Jakarta Post by telephone 260-
\n1777, or fax 260-1112 or 260-1717 and we will enroll you in our
\nofficial agencies\/sub-agencies in your areas (we have 487
\nofficial agencies\/sub-agencies throughout the country, about 61
\npercent of them are in Jakarta). We will take necessary measures
\nagainst these official agencies\/sub-agencies if their services to
\nreaders prove to be unsatisfactory. It is to be noted that the
\nmonthly subscription fee is Rp 16,000, to be paid in advance.<\/p>\n
Concluding, we would like to thank you for your information.
\nIt is our sincere intention to always enhance our services to
\nreaders in the future.<\/p>\n
