Members are encouraged to keep their email and mailing address information up-to-date and dues current to ensure they receive their publications.
Why have I not yet received my book(s)?
There are several reasons why you may not have received a SRRS publication:
- Update your mailing address. We ship to the most recent address you give us.
- Pay your annual dues. We don’t ship to those who are not current with their dues.
- Issues with our shipping vendor. We use a vendor to package and ship books to each member. Sometimes the vendor makes mistakes. Please contact our SRRS Admin so they can investigate.
- Issues with USPS. We use the US Postal Service to deliver packages. Sometimes USPS experiences issues or delays. Please contact USPS if it is determined that this is a delivery issue.
