Default Orlando Sentinel

Anybody else having trouble with Delivery of the Orlando Sentinel? Mostly on Thursdays, I either don't get the paper or I don't get the Ad inserts. Sundays I don't get the Inserts or the comics. Today I got "Nothing". The same driver delivers the Daily Commercial. I was told on good authority by a Vietnamese Operator that the paper was on the way. Len

I was there in 67 & 68 we talked about his parents getting out in the 70s. They worked for the Army. He was born in the Philippines and works for a call center. My point was most customer service is out sourced, and they are not updated as to what is really happening. Just as an update a driver just hand delivered my Newspaper. Guess what no Ad inserts. I still didn't get an answer to my question. Anybody else having trouble?

Sorry but on this site you can always think the worst and usually be right, I still don’t think I would ask someone at a call center where there from they make take it personal and reroute your call around the world, I was with the French in 1954 in Vietnam ,(I’m American) then a US army paratrooper serving mostly with Vietnamese paratroopers then many more years in that war as a civilian in Vietnam , Laos and Cambodia

Sentinel? HA! More like AWOL... It's like playing "driveway bingo" each time we go out to pick up our Daily Sun and, hopefully, our Orlando Sentinel. Sometime's it's there, often it's not.

I had some hope for a new delivery person, and he did have a slightly better batting average (usually around 10:00 a.m.), until I caught him one day and complained. He smiled (two front teeth, nowhere near each other), and came up with the first of several excuses, such as "my wife's [?] car is broke," and "the truck was late."

We NEED the Sentinel for national and international news, darn it!

National and international news is available for free on this new fangled thing called the Internet.

Joe, I get it for the comics and the entertainment section. I also like the crossword puzzle. Mary and I leave the "Compound" on a regular basis and like to know what's going on. We also like the Travel section, and various Food articles. The coupons in the Sunday paper pay for my subscription. I negotiate the price every year and usually pay half of what the ask for. Len & Mary
