I am posting this because I am *****

 

I am posting this around as I am somewhat unhappy at the revenue I am losing from books.]

I use a US based print on demand company (UK is so backward it does not have PODs) and they get a cut of a sale for simply storing a PDF. The printers get their money, rightly. And any sales money is low BUT I can get taxed by the IRS and the POD only pays me when the exchange rate is in its ($) favour.,

I have lost money on my CE3K books. I saw each one appear and US next to it but my percentage 0000. This has happened before and the POD always sends you in circles with silly excuses.

I know someone in the US who has helped out with non payment and other issues with UIS companies re my other work. He's ex-IRS and I've done him a few favours so I asked if he could look into these printed books for which I get nothing?

Today he got back to me. "The "US" on the data sheet you see is not for a US sale as such. It means that the copies were requested by the US Government. I checked and have found that your books -total four sets of all the books since 2024- were delivered to the United States Department of Defense (pre title change). That means a total block on finding out who exactly ordered them. Sorry"

I say no more.
