The National Library of Australia has experienced the same types of
problems for many years.

Despite ongoing correspondence with the Organization direct, we have had
no responses.  We originally placed an order for a publication package
with English language publications being our preference.  At this point in
time we receive the odd issue of some titles (English, Spanish and ?) but
not a complete supply (all without any sign of an invoice).

Past enquiries with subscription agents have proven unfruitful because of
the problem of trying to make and maintain contact with the Organization.
