I wonder if it would be possible to throw the paper instead of the middle of driveway to under the front porch? It would be protected more from the rain. Perhaps it would be too difficult so as not to hit the doorway. May take too much effort too.

You're kidding, right? These guys drive the streets at mach 2. It's a miracle they're able to keep it in the driveway. It's a lot farther shot to get it all the way up to the front door.

Mine was double-bagged and about half soaked. Oh well. It's not like there's any real news in the paper anyway. It just made it hard to read the comics. As far as having the bag tied, I'm sure that would add a ton of work for whoever bags them (or double bags them) and would most often not even be needed. What we got this morning was unusually heavy. We measured a full inch of rain between 6 AM and 7 AM. This deluge ran down the driveway where the nicely bagged paper was and liked to drown the poor thing.

Double bagged and soaked...

Mine was dry. Do you know how many papers the delivery person delivers? You are lucky to get double bag and still get the paper as early as you do.

Not fair to dock the delivery person. They double bag and have no way to control where/how your paper lands. With the hundreds of papers they deliver, it would take more time in the morning to secure the ends of the paper. Quit complaining for a minor inconvenience.

SERIOUSLY, I hope you give them a BIG tip at the holidays

Thats nice. Someone getting docked $5. because you are inconvenienced. When I say YOU, Im not referring just to you, Im including those who expect everything in life to be perfect with no bumps. How difficult is it to dry it out instead of blaming the delivery worker. Thats pretty lousy
P.S. if you want a perfect paper everyday, wait at the door and immediately walk out n get it. Oh wait! Who would want to be “inconvenienced” and get up that early.

I have been here for 11 years and in all that time, I have only received one wet paper. Called the office and the new one was delivered within an hour.

Mine are always dry even on heavy rain days

forebubba 08-04-2021 06:47 AM

The Daily Fun ....my day is ruined because the paper is wet and I can read it. What is the world coming to? What am going to do?

Maybe I’ve just been lucky but I’ve never received a wet paper. I think the Daily Sun delivery does a great job!

Mine was dry and double bagged / not tied. Such major problems we deal with

Mine's always dry...If I want to read it, I do it on line. That way no papers to dispose of!
