Indoprom responds

We refer to Mr PH Lyssens' complaint in The Jakarta Post, Dec. 16, 1994 regarding the Economist subscription.

We would like to explain to you that the subscription copies and the Newsstand copies are different. Newsstand copies are not wrapped in polybag whilst subscription copies are wrapped and labeled with subscribers' names.

For your information, the Economist copies arrive in Jakarta on Friday afternoon and are sent to all subscribers the next day upon release. Your copy is sent by post to your area on Saturday or Monday.

It is not true Mr Lyssens that we are taking the unsold copies for the subscribers as the unsold copies will be taken after we supply the new issues.
