Talking to the distributor only works for about 3-5 days, before he's back to the usual tricks. The paperboy that used to do this route was great, he'd make sure it was in the mailbox and if it was raining the paper was in a plastic bag.

The problem is that I live off the beaten path. My closest neighbor is about 2km away, and I believe I'm the only one that receives a newspaper this far out. The local distributor buys the Globe & Mail direct so phoning the Globe doesn't do any good. It's out of their hands.

Perhaps when the paperboy doesn't receive his bonus from me anymore, he'll figure it out. [img]smile.gif[/img] Either that, or my paper won't even make it down the driveway.
