Most weeks I have to go out and look around the flower bed for it. My porch is pretty big so they have to really try not to make it up there. I feel most probably walk along and give it a pitch and where it lands it lands. I do realize the Early Bird is a free newspaper, but they are getting paid to deliver it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4305308739784844668.post-87190975480518605842011-01-22T15:39:21.644-05:002011-01-22T15:39:21.644-05:00I've delivered for the Early Bird on a walk ro...I've delivered for the Early Bird on a walk route. Carriers are instructed to put the papers on the porch/front step. Not throw them from their car, not throw them from the sidewalk - place/put them on the front step/porch. They are also to bag the papers. If a complaint is made, the complaint is passed along to the carrier.<br />Instead of complaining online, why not call the paper yourself (as some already have, and others have suggested)? Most of the complaints seem to be about the carriers who are failing at their jobs, as opposed to the paper company itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4305308739784844668.post-53826154407304798592011-01-21T18:31:08.028-05:002011-01-21T18:31:08.028-05:00Earlier this year, my neighborhood's Sunday Ad...Earlier this year, my neighborhood's Sunday Advocates arrived without being bagged. Within a few days, the whole neighborhood was littered with pages from that poor excuse for a newspaper.

In years past, if a newspaper or mail carrier found papers or mail stacking up they called the police or rescue in case someone was sick, injured or dead. Now, they just stack up I guess.

I have a large spot for them to place the newspapers, but they continue to throw them beside the mailbox. I have even watched the early bird throw the daily advocate out of my box and put theirs in. One of these days im going to pick up last weeks paper and stand behind a pine tree in my yard. If they throw the paper on the ground i just may return the favor of throwing newspapers in their laps :}Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4305308739784844668.post-30401219259055129782011-01-21T10:14:42.234-05:002011-01-21T10:14:42.234-05:00I posted at 10:13 last night and forgot to mention...I posted at 10:13 last night and forgot to mention another issue I have with the "rags"!

Most people couldn't see the papers on the porch unless they were going to the house. It seems most of the papers end up in the yard or beside the porch. Teach the carriers to put them on the porch or in the paper box. That's what they are paid to do.

The Early Bird I had to call once and they stopped delivery the very next week. So the only one I have to deal with is the Advocate, they don't seem to care that you do not want them delivered. So maybe the best way is to gather them all up and drop them off at their office and maybe that will get the point made.
