There is often an insert from the company telling you that they bought the paper for you and giving a number to call. The Sun simply accepts the advertising money and delivers the paper to every home just as the advertiser requested.
They are not supposed to deliver those free papers unless the homeowner calls and authorizes it. You are only supposed to get one paper, unless you call. I have been offered free papers but I always decide not to call and I don't receive them. But mistakes have happened.
