Subject: for serialsst, please

Lafayette College has a standing order with the IMF,  publisher of
*International Financial Statistics Yearbook* via EBSCO, our serials
vendor.  We paid for the 2000 edition in advance, but the volume failed
to arrive.  We were finally informed by EBSCO that the publishers have
said since we did not claim the missing issue within three months, we
must pay again for a "replacement."  We have been claiming all through
the calendar year and in any case did not know there was a three month
limit for claiming.

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?  Any suggestions from
readers?  I definitely don't want to pay a second time.  That smacks of
sleaziness.  Thanks.
