We're experiencing the very same problem with them here, Christopher.

Subject: [SERIALST] Taylor & Francis.

Dear librarians,

We've been having an extraordinary amount of trouble with our Taylor &
Francis subscriptions. We order several direct, and the problem seems to
be that our payments go to their lock box in Chicago, get processed,
then disappear. I've had to request two copies of cancelled checks from
our accounting department so far, and I'm afraid there will be others.
The customer service people have tried to be as helpful as they can, but
apparently there's no communication between the office in Chicago and
their customer service department in Philadelphia.

Are any other libraries having this problem? I think we're going to move
our subscriptions to a vendor in 2005, but that doesn't help us with the
current year. And if it's a problem with how Taylor & Francis is
processing all their payments then I'm concerned switching to a vendor
won't help.
