I didn't know what forum to put this under so I put it here..
I submitted an Artice/Photo submission to a fairly well known magazine. I included a Delivery Memo for the eleven (11) Original Transparencies that I send along with the article. The submission was made well over a year ago. I have been trying since the end of last year to find out the status of my submission and the Editor is coming up with several different stories. First, it was new help must have misplaced it, then it was the office moved and they would get back to me. I just got off the phone again with the editor and now they say that they must have lost my article. When I mentioned that maybe we should talk about the eleven lost transparencies, the editor said that they would renew their search and for me to call back in three weeks. I then e-mailed the editor a copy of my Delivery memo, to assist them in locating the transparencies. The package was send via USPS with a return receipt requested, so that I had proof that they received my submission. My Delivery memo contained terms that they would be liable for lost/destroyed transparencies, the compensation for lost/destroyed transparencies and that the person signing for the submission was authorized to sign and agreed to the terms on the Delivery Memo.
My question is this... Has anyone here ran into that problem before and what suggestions would you have for me, as far as a course of action, if the transparencies are indeed lost..
Thanks for any help..
