I have not received from GM but I have from others and I would put most of it on Canada Post how do they think that by bending some thing and stuffing it in to a box is right . I have taken stuff back to the post office and asked them why and they just stand there not sure what to say .

If you had paid for the item and Canada Post was responsible for the damage, then CP would be the destination for your followup.

As a free item due a code redemption, General Mills fulfilled the item requested but cannot control what happens in the postal stream.

So you can make lemonade by making a new binding/cover for the book and have it out when kids visit your place. You won’t get upset if the book gets worn out but the kids will know that reading can be fun.

Yes, in summary, it is disappointing that your promo item did not come intact but someone else paid for the item and mailing-glass is half-full.
I have participated in two of the magazine giveaways and also the red t-shirt giveaway in 2009. All of the items came through the mail system and all were appreciated as it. If my shirt had been less than prime, I still could have made accessories out of it or rags-all useful. My shirt got a year’s wear, then made it to the rag-bag.

Yes, general mills made an error to not put the ‘do not bend’ sticker, but even then, there is a high chance the book would have been bent by the mailman…I have had so many folded magazines/envies stuffed in my mail and I frankly don’t think many of the mailmen don’t stop to read what’s on it and be careful.
