WSJ- Wall Street Journal non delivery
 
Anyone else in TV experiencing delivery issues? I haven't received regular deliveries beginning in June.

If you subscribed thru "The Wall Street Journal Offer Agency" or "fulfill@wsjoutlets.com" you were probably scammed.

I get WSJ digitally. Works very well, it is always with me, and easy to find back articles too.

Agree with switching to the online version of WSJ. It's easy to find articles that you want and I love the audio reading of the articles some of the time.

While familiar with the online version, some of us old timers prefer to read the WSJ at the breakfast table. Hence my problems with non delivery of the print version which has been on & off for a year or more.

An IPad makes a great Xmas gift! How do your read posts on TOTV?

I've had ongoing issues with my WSJ delivery for the last year. I finally had it escalated up 3-4 levels and they admitted they are having a lot of issues getting and keeping delivery drivers. They did a review and noted I've only received my paper a little over half of the time.

I finally gave up and just went digital. I really prefer the actual paper, but (as you know) after three days of non-delivery one cannot report no paper via the automated service and you have to actually talk to a person. I just couldn't waste the time talking to someone for 15 minutes about it anymore.

I've had sporadic delivery issues in the past, usually with the Saturday paper it seems, but for the last few months it's been fine. I assumed that they retained a more reliable delivery driver.

When I lived in Oregon, away from cities and Metro areas, I had local delivery of the Oregonian, NY Times, and the Wall Street Journal for 20+ years. The same delivery person delivered all 3 papers, and was an independent carrier.

At the time of home delivery, I was also granted full digital access to all 3 papers. I had access to both a digital Replica Edition that I enjoyed instead of the app/website view of stories. That Replica Edition on a tablet, phone, or computer browser was my preferred method of reading stories. The Replica Editions were exactly the same as the printed paper.

When I moved to The Villages, I continued with that digital access, and I've tried to convince the Daily News people to do the same. No action on their part other than to share my request amongst their board.

I recently added delivery of the Sunday NY Times paper. It's delivered by the same Daily Sun people. It was less expensive to get reliable access to the NY Times Replica Edition with that home delivery, than a separate digital only subscription.

We travel a lot, and it's great being able to read the papers online. I wish I could do the same with the Daily Sun.

For those wondering, no, I don't read each and every newspaper everyday. I set my preferences to alert me to the stories and subjects I'm interested in, and if I have the time, I have easy access to the complete newspapers online.

I live in DeLuna, previously it was spotty, but the last 6 months far more regular delivery. Love my paper and breakfast, IPad for backup days. I feel soon enough there will be nothing published via paper so enjoying it while I can.

I finally gave up on trying to get daily delivery of the WSJ, so changed my subscription to delivery of just the Saturday paper, and that has worked just fine most of the time.

I did not know until recently the Sun did not have a digital version. Explains why they insist on littering all the driveways once a month for Super Saturday (or Sunday) and for no reason giving some people with no subscription a paper (all of this I have heard from our community page and why all of a sudden I get papers while I am not at home). Our Village has written to them and asked they stop this nonsense to no avail. I also heard if the community watch sees papers collecting they then have to investigate. How is this a good use of a community service I pay for all because the Sun’s board lives in a cave of paper delivery. I guess they are hoping that everyone will all of a sudden get delivery? Sorry for the rant but I have called them and written to them with zero response. If you get pay delivery please consider how they treat the community we live in.
