Hi John,
Thanks for the reply, and do keep up the good work on the Quanta
magazine.
With regard to the brown envelopes, it does seem a common problem.
My envelope was stamped at 25.02.09 Manchester 08.17pm 44003704 - blue
Second Class stamp UK post.
The slit may have been caused by the sorting machine, and the general
crumpling; as well as the final transport in the "postie's" bag.
Maybe you can consider a slightly stronger envelope with a semi-gloss
finish to it, to be more resistant of the mailing process.
In the general mail that I receive this is the only posting that is
regularly arriving in a damaged state.
The one for the previous Issue had arrived in a plastic covering with a
standard apology note from the Post Office for the damaged contents of
the package.
PS - The new label is much clearer than the previous dot matrix
Hi Everyone,
Firstly, thank you to those readers of QUANTA Magazine who have said
how much they have enjoyed the latest issues. I still have much to
learn about the editing side of the publication but I am very pleased
to hear that I am moving in the right direction. Your comments are
important to us if we are to provide quality services from QUANTA.
Please keep them coming.
Secondly, I am concerned about the damaged envelopes which some of you
are getting. In order to minimise costs, I buy these envelopes in bulk,
and it takes about 7 issues to use the quantity. It may be that the
self sealing adhesive dries out during this period as I have noticed
that occasionally I get one which will not seal at all - I use
additional sellotape in these circumstances. I shall watch for this
problem and maybe have to use sellotape on ALL of them just to make
sure. The flap may become stuck in the Post Office machinery which
could be causing the damage although some have commented that the
envelope is slit open across the sealed flap (and not that the flap is
missing altogether.) Please keep me informed of this problem over the
next few issues - whether yours is damaged OR NOT (to get some idea of
balance) - it may be worth asking the PO to investigate.
Rest assured that each envelope leaves here in good condition and the
labelling has recently been changed to enable better printing on the
Desk Jet rather than the old Dot Matrix which is coming towards the end
of its useful life - don't we all!?!?
Cheers,
John Gilpin.
Joint QUANTA Editor.

Hi Malcolm,
I received the Friday 27th February 2009 the Quanta magazine Volume
26, Issue 1, for February / March 2009.
I received it as well.
Yes, well done - and I prefer to see the ads in "full page mode" again -
excellent decision. And up-to-date :-)
One other point. Is anyone else experiencing a poor quality with
the brown envelope used for the posting of the magazine.
Yes, for quite a while already.
My Issue, once again has arrived in a very crumpled envelope, with
an open slit along the entire top edge ( although the magazine was
still inside ). Is this only effecting the London area in the UK ?
As another London Group member has had a similar experience with the
envelope packaging being used, arriving in crumpled state.
This is how nearly all issues arrive for a while.
Jochen
