Default Monthly (?) Paper Delivery on Driveway - NOT Retrieved

RE: "Since 2007 your paper by the second delivery is picked up by CW taken to front door which in 99% of home is out of sight from road. The second consecutive day a phone call is placed that the paper has been delivered and not retrieved.

It’s just as much a helpful notification for short vacation than snowbirds."

*********************************

New snowbirder here - we had a paper delivered that we could see on our Ring camera. It was there for at least THREE WEEKS. (This is the first time I've heard they are supposed to be picked up by CW if not grabbed by the property owners. We also did not get a phone call from anyone about it ever, so if no CW is making calls for papers sitting on driveways in our area, at least.) We finally got a hold of our neighbor about it, and they grabbed it for us.

Another one was delivered again maybe a week later. We noticed our neighbor picked it up that same day. Such great neighbors! :-)

I obviously don't want to advertise to thieves that we're gone, and we never asked for a paper to be delivered. Not a fan of the delivery just due to snowbirding and thieves. Maybe there should be an OPTION to order a paper delivered when you buy a house there.

HOW do you unsubscribe from that monthly (or however often) paper that's delivered? WeI would like to unsubscribe.

Thanks, everyone!
