Thank you for your cooperation,

I had problems with your company last year and contacted the corporate office. I SPECIFICALLY STATED that I wanted no further contact from your company and wanted my name off of any mailing list or anything to do with your company. Today, I received a bill from Scholastic for some magazine that I did not order. So, obviously, my name is still on some list of yours and you are still making mistakes and billing me for things I never ordered. I had to contact you people several times last year and have no intention of continuing with that type of thing this year. I will, however, contact an attorney if I need to, as this is definitely harassment. TAKE MY NAME OFF OF ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR COMPANY!!! This is the last time I will be nice about this, before seeking legal council. Also, I will be contacting the BBB and anyone else who will listen concerning this very unprofessional behavior. DO NOT try to call me at my school- just fix this problem!!
Please consider professionally printing “School Libraries Work – 2016” and giving or selling it (cheaply!) to educators. Currently you offer it as a .pdf self-print option only. We school librarians need it printed nicely to share with our administrators. You do know how school libraries have been neglected since the 2008 economic downturn, right? Laser printing it would use up way too much ink and not look great.
As an educator, it is my job to get resources to parents that can help their children progress academically. While I teach, it is also important that they be able to purchase items that they can have at home. On 10/28/14, I placed an order for my classroom (acct. #1914440589. After this order, I never received any more catalogs. On Jan. 5, 2015, I sent an email to customer service stating that I hadn’t received any more catalogs since Oct. A customer service rep. named Nathan replied, stating that he would help. Again, no catalogs. I sent a second email on Feb. 16, 2015, this one answered by Susan. She knew my grade and the number of students I had. She also said it would take 5-7 business days to receive the catalogs. It is now April 7th…..I have yet to see any catalogs. I am unable to comprehend how two other teachers are receiving catalogs after placing an order. I placed an order AND sent two emails. My students have been denied the opportunity to order. I would like someone to explain how I have not received these, knowing from the original order form that you have my correct grade level and address at Overall Creek. If at all possible, I would like for someone that is in management to contact me rather than a customer service representative.
