In Case anyone was wondering, I did not write this (although i wish i did) , this is a coalition of other people including myself. In other words, I firmly agree with this Statemnt, and stand behind it. ************************ (I)We are writing today to comment the price of the Trains magazine, as it stands right now on the Newsstand. For those of us, who buy Trains magazine last month Paid a deplorable rate of 7.95, (Ten) 10 dollars this month; A sudden increase of 1 dollar from last month. For the record it is bad enough to have to shell out 9 dollars (after tax) for a magazine, but 10 dollars? That’s just a joke. Subscribe you say? A fat load of good that does, I barely wind up saving 15 dollars after it is all said and done, and at the rate the price is increasing, 15 dollars might equal the last three pages of the magazine! Please do note, It is not the content of the magazine that is bad; it’s the pricing that intolerable. Here is a simple economic lesson, the inflation rate currently stands at 3-4% so 4% of 6.95 is, 19.8 Cents, or 20 cents would be an acceptable rate to increase this magazine this year. This company is moving at an inflation rate of 20%, which is not acceptable. I don’t know how many other Canadians find this acceptable, but we don’t. I took out my excuse book expecting the worse, and had the magazine weighed at the post office; surprise! The postage DID NOT or SHOULD not have increased as this magazine only weighs slightly more then last months? Is it all those Special features? Then why is the US rate still the same? 5.95 –5.95/ 5.95 X 100 Will give you a price change of 0%, So why are Canadians Footing some bill? Look, I don’t know who, what or why But I do know that I’m paying an almost unconstitutional rate for something that Is really good, but 10 dollars? It’s not ten dollars good. So, it is time for a refresher, note the words used: Intolerable, deplorable, and terrible. If that doesn’t show a dissatisfied customer, I don’t know what will. I want to thank Kevin for posting this under his name, I know he strongly agrees with where I stand, and I hope now that we have amalgamated more people, maybe somebody might listen. /JPC ************************************** So there you have it, maybe if the number keeps growing, Somehting may happen.
