Re: Journals without wrappers? Rais, Shirley (LLU) 29 Jan 2008 22:34 UTC
My experience is totally the opposite. We seem to received empty mailers at least once a month and are claiming more torn up issues than we used to. They are getting mangled somewhere in the shipping process. Of course I don't have statistics, just observation that it seems much worse lately.

Damaged copies are rare. I have only had to request once or twice in over ten years. However, I have had problems with lost issues due to stickers coming off in the mail. I have also sometimes had other peoples address labels attached to my issue. I prefer to have the address printed directly on the cover. Judith A.

The cover of these journals would instead contain a sticker with address information which could be easily removed. We understand that a number of journals, notably Nature and Science, are already sent out this way in the US? We would appreciate answers, on or off list, to the following questions: 1. Do you receive journals without wrappers? 2. If so, do they arrive damaged? 3. Do you/how often do you have to raise claims to the publisher for damaged copies? Many thanks in advance.
