Is anyone else getting this Daily Commercial Paper put in their driveway like once a week?

Talked to the circulation department they have no record of my address and dont know why it is happening.

yes that screen name is from when we first moved here. Will be turning 60 in October. Been here 8 years this month. Some of younger folks knew how to save money.

The commercial is the Leesburg area's daily newspaper. Its odd that it's only happening once a week. It's not a promo if their company doesn't know why it's happening. Maybe a different carrier does that route once a week and gets confused?

I had that happen back home. I went to the newspaper office and asked them to stop. I explained that we travel a lot and I did not want to advertise our absence by having newspapers accumulate in our drive way. It stopped for a while but started up again. I again visited the office. I repeated my earlier explanation and added that since I pick the paper up and put it directly into my trash, they were littering my yard. It stopped for a while but started up again. I went back to the office and told them that the next one of their papers that landed in my driveway would be returned through the mail slot in their office door. It would be returned after business hours on a Friday and would be wrapped around shrimp hulls and heads. It stopped for a while, but started up again. I fulfilled my promise. It stopped.
