no quit delivery yrs ago stopped buying it now and then after they changed paper and ink "it won't even start a fire in the wood stove anymore if it'd burn atleast it would be worth something

I now get the Washington Post delivered on Sundays and that's it.

I canceled my subscription 2 years ago but they keep on delivering it, that is when they are able to. I recycle it into packing material.

No, my mother paid for a two year subscription a month before she passed and the month after they stopped delivering it. We called several times about it and never got anywhere. What a JOKE they are!!!! I get more out of Salisbury News and WBOC then that paper....

No way!

Yes, Every day

Citi Haul said...

NO! I got tired of the words spelled incorrectly and poor grammar. The format didn't help them either with the chopped up articles. Half on page one and the rest on page 16. When the sales papers outnumber the real paper it time to call it quits.

No read on the web. As revenue falls so does the talent they can afford. The reporting, typos, misprints overall format is fustrating to me.

No! I get the truth from SBY NEWS and save $$$$ thanks Joe.

farm boy said...

No, I quit about two years ago. Poor bias reporting at it's lowest.

I bought one this year for the black Friday ads. I do go online every once and a while to look at the obits.

No-used to get only Sunday for the coupons but not worth it. Nothing of substance in that paper.

It's a horrible paper, cancelled years ago.

Never had one but I have called them every week for 2 months to get them to stop throwing the Wicomico Weekly in my yard. Every week I am told it will be taken care of. Still waiting for it to be taken care of.

Ken Smith said...

Yes...for three reasons.
1. Brice Stump
2. My delivery lady
3. My wife of 54 years on it

No

No. I cancelled a few months ago. I do buy the Sunday for the sales and coupons. They will only deliver 7 days or 4 days a week. Terrible customer service and nothing important in it.

I quit when I found out Shanie put in time there.

Fed Up Rebel said...

Nope. Canceled a few weeks ago. Finally had enough of their politically biased reporting, and had way more than enough of Laura D.

Shanie worked there? My bird just got upgraded to paper towels son!

hell no. what a waste of money.

Not any more.

Chimera said...

I do not subscribe but on the days I work I pick up a copy,otherwise I just read it online

The only time a Daily timers is worthwhile is on Sunday for the sales flyers. Now the stores have to put the sections together.They stay seperated for hours after delivery until the clerk has time to put them together.They think they are saving money but really losing sales. That clerk does not care if they sell you a newspaper or not.The whole Daily times thing is a waste now.They better get it together if it is not already too late.

Never have or will! It's journalistic junk

PS -- love SBYNEWS for the local political info that the MSM won't cover!

Nope stopped it when they raised the fee and if you had already paid your bill for 3 months or so they send you an extra bill for the fee you didn't pay and didn't give you a reason what the bill was for...had to go in there to have it explained to me. I said why not put on the bill, fee due because subscription cost was raised. they said computer program wouldn't allow it...ok

Anonymous said...

Yes, but I pay monthly instead of yearly, in case they go under.

Anonymous said...

No, but ocassionally I still get a delivery.

Anonymous said...

yup just like the feel of relaxing and reading the paper for 20 min, plus I like to follow the foreclosures. I used to like the classifieds but now it is mostly scooters.

No, canceled 2 yr ago, kept getting daily delivery for 13 months!!!

Anonymous said...

delivered them on a bile when I was 12...5 days a week then.....Stopped getting them last year, 33 years later after they refused to get rid of contract delivery person that NEVER had a drivers license, scammed several people, continued to drive ad deliver for three years withot a valid license after the paper was advised of same......Driver has fled the state with amultitude of warrants on file. Wee only rec'd 80% of our papers when he delivered and when his name was headline news, we found hundreds of papers still bound dumped near his house......SO no.....thanks

hell no, some kid knocked on my door a while back, said here's a free paper, yada yada yada, I said I just gotta go to the trouble of recycling it, keep it.

Shoreman said...

I gave up on the Daily Times a long time ago. Poor delivery and no bags on the paper when raining.

Anonymous said...

Yes I get it. I have a wonderful carrier and my paper is always on time. I love the coupons and the Michael's ad. I think the monthly rate is the way to go too. It's cheaper and you are right....you never know.
