How about those that are unhappy and disgruntled try doing a delivery route for about a week or two. You might not be so critical afterwards!!

If you had read the entire thread before posting, you'd realize that no delivery person was in any way disparaged or criticized. Please refrain from attacking before knowing what you're talking about. This is the kind of antagonistic rhetoric the previous poster was referring to.

Every time somebody says here what happened to them that is bad business practice, they get jumped on as though they are liars or mental midgets because they didn't approach the problem the way "some" here would. THAT is what is "rude", on here.

I'm reading on here less and less because of how people get shot down. News flash: Everybody's different with different experiences! Yours is not the only opinion or statement that should stand!

You have to know that people will disagree with almost anything you have to say on a public forum. My husband points out that anonymous people can say anything. Just restate, or add more information if you feel you have a valid beef. You are fairly new here and may change your mind after being here a few years. I was skeptical and looking for flaws when I was first looking to move here. I was jumped on, whomped on, beat up and severely criticized. It was new to me at that time. If you believe you are right continue. There is a long going thread about trees being cut down on property that caused fines to be levied against the district. Two folks who I usually always agree with feel that there is more to the story. I don't think there is more to the story. I still think they are great people although on this issue, I don't agree with them.


Debating gives us something to do when the squeamish of us find it too hot and muggy to play golf.


Please don't give up.

It's a little like playing volley ball. Someone serves, then some set others up, some hit dink shots [those are my favorites] and some go for the spike. If the ball goes out of bounds the moderator blows the whistle.

Your carrier is batting .999

In the time it takes to post here I would have called circulation. Did it once and had a new - dry paper in 30 minutes. I've been here 11 years and had 1 problem. Never been perplexed or disgruntled. My carrier is batting a thousand. I have never laid eyes on her, but I know her name is Charlene.
I write it on a check every Christmas. Thanks Charlene for a GREAT JOB!

Ditto, been here 4 years and only missed one paper, I went up to the mail stop and bought another. Other than that, I've had no problems and give $20 every Christmas.

If the OP and anyone else who has continuing problems would post their village name, you might find some similarities. No problems here - live in Tamarind Grove.

The Daily Sun is an amazingly inexpensive paper. Some of the the columnists are absolutely top notch. Anyone read Steven Day's columns? Today's was fabulous. He is a personal favorite along with Trivett. Probably got that name wrong, sorry. Focus on the good things. The coupons are a bonus and yes, sometimes I get fewer. That happens, but you should see the lousy quality of the newspapers in other areas, like Florida Today in Brevard County. I would call it Disappointment Today. And it is much, much more expensive.

Same here.

That's the great thing about the TOTV forum ... Everyone has a right to express their opinion.

How do you arrange to tip your Daily Sun carrier? It always arrives before I get up in the mornings. We are quite satisfied with the newspaper and the carrier service. At about one sixth the cost, we get a larger paper and more consistent and timely delivery than we got in Indy. It may not have quite as much state, national, or world news, but I see enough downside news on television, and I like the upside local news. I hope OP's service improves. I tended to be a grouch about delivery problems in Indy, but I'm very satisfied here.

I add a tip when I pay the annual cost. There is a line on the bill to add a tip.

We also tip when we pay.

It’s my number one choice when masking for painting.

You should also get the carriers name and address on a greeting card delivered just before the holidays. It will be in with your paper.

[jblum315]

I always get an envelope with the carriers name and address on it.

The Daily Sun is a BARGAIN!!!! A tad over $60.00 for a 1 yr.--7 day subscription.
I paid $2.75 for a single copy paper last Sun.! Similar in size to the Sun.
Up Nort where I live a REDUCED SIZE of this same paper costs $3.25.

I also pay my tip when I get the nice Christmas Card from my carrier withies are and address. The same gentleman for eight years. I am a happy customer.
