kmbrly Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 With my ads?? It's after 3am and I'd like to go to bed soon. (Yes, I know it will be there when I wake up, but I want it NOW!!!) My babies have already gone to bed, and they look so cozy...

RossMAN Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 Our paper is usually delivered around 5:30 AM.
kmbrly Posted November 24, 2005 Author Posted November 24, 2005 LOL, holy smoke! I'll never make it that long. Looks like I'm heading to bed, and then getting up bright and early.
MarkRaby Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 Our paper is usually delivered around 5:30 AM.Yep. Same here. By the way, isn't it lovely to have a newspaper subscription when Thanksgiving rolls around? It'll be the first year in many years I don't have to drive to the local convenience store at 5 AM to get a paper. -Mark-
AlwaysShopping Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 I run out and buy one at the gas station at like 5 am usually (I get two, different papers...sometimes one has ads that the other one doesn't)

From the paper thrower in Tulsa (me)- I'm waiting on the friggin papers to be delivered!!!! LOL We FINALLY got the pre-prints (ads) but now we are waiting on the real news to be printed so we can deliver. DH is at the drop site waiting, and I'm taking a break and checking the board. Trust me, I'd like a nap before being at Kmart at 7, but its not looking good for me.

It'll be the first year in many years I don't have to drive to the local convenience store at 5 AM to get a paper. -Mark-Yes it is. We normally don't subscribe to the paper since I don't read it every day. One day they cold called me offering a $25 GC to a local grocery store if I sign up for 7 days a week @ $10/mo. I can cancel at anytime. Just received the $25 GC, I'll probably cancel next month.

Retail stores sometimes get a stripped down version - short some inserts. I've seen some other posts where people claim that they had the opposite experience, but I've talked to carriers and people who work for newspapers - they seem to confirm my experiences. Maybe it's just a YMMV situation. Maybe you need to tip your carriers better!!
mrsgrizzle Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 Maybe you need to tip your carriers better!! I second that suggestion, especially if you live in South Tulsa.
lindabacker Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 I didnt get half the ads I should have so I called them and they are going to send me another paper. Of all the nerve not delivering all the ads for Black friday! I was so mad!

kfinto65 Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 I got home at 5 AM from work and my paper is here!!! I still will have to buy an Austin paper for Fry's ad...
sanam Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 ive got my paper and lots of macy's coupons in there
gextreme Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 i spent an hour running around town to get a paper, finnally went to the newspaper office at 7am to get one with "all" the adds. they told me I should subscribe, then I get first dibs on the ads in the paper. I manage a c-store and we had 100 copies with NO chain-store ads for friday (like 3 total BF ads)...glad i'm not working today, our customers are going to be ticked!
