Default Don't like the glue!

The latest issue of WCI had a flier glued to the front of the magazine. I don't know how, since it was wrapped in plastic, but it ripped the cover! How about just putting them loose in the plastic with the magazine.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks Bob, I appreciate the offer but I taped it up. I try to keep them in good shape but they get used so most of them aren't pristine anyway.

As I said, I'm not sure how it ripped since it came out of the plastic that way. I'd rather just see no glue on the cover in the future.

Thanks again for the offer but I just wanted to let you know of a downside to glueing to the cover.

Unfortunately, due to postal regulations - it costs about twice as much to send the flier along in the plastic bag if you DON'T glue it to the cover. I couldn't tell you why it's it cheaper to send it if it's glued instead of loose in the bag.... but that's why we glue it.

If you ever get a damaged issue, just contact customer service (800-457-9112) and they will happily send you a replacement issue.
