I will only be staying at my new home in Buttonwood for a week. I know Buttonwood is a distance from the town square. I'd like to read the newspaper in the mornings. Can I pick up the paper at the rec center? I can walk there. Or must a drive forever to get the paper? With my sense of direction- it will be old news by the time I find the paper to read it. Thanks. To Hannon

Most of the postal stations have newspaper dispensers.

I used Postal Station for awhile when I was there for a week. I now subscribe and just start and stop the service to the house when I am there. Works Great for me. Now if I am only in for a couple of days I walk over to a Postal Station, little exercise for me also.

Tom, I am a late sleeper...walk across the street to my drive-way...get the paper...read it ...then throw it back when you are done.

Tom, just get a subscription as it is cheaper. They will let you stop/start your paper as many times as you like, and the subscription is for 365 issues not days, so a subscription may last you 2-3 years!
We do it this way, and it is great. We are going down on most weekends for the next year till full time, and I start it each Thursday and stop each Sunday. It is great. Only Newspaper I have ever known to do business this way, and the phone call is toll free to start/stop! What a deal, what a deal.

I always email to start/ stop ours and there used to be the sweetest woman who would answer and add some nice comment. Now there is a business like response.

Anyone have this experience?

I miss her.

Wow, I didn't know that. That is really a nice service that I'll use also.

All of this starting and stopping is based on the assumption the carrier will follow the instructions. I have had a vacation stop requested and came home to find my neighbor had been picking up the paper......since in was never stopped. This does not happen every time but it could happen.

[Tom Hannon]

No problem, Petenj. VG1213 lives directly across the street from me. We have already met in person. It looks like I am moving into a great neighborhood.....at least until I move in.

We on the average start/stop our paper 2-3 times a month and have never had a problem with them either not delivering or not stopping it when we told them to.

I start and stop about six times a year and have had no issues.
