Print Subscription
Q: If I go on vacation and wish to temporarily suspend my newspaper, will my account be credited?
If you notify us in advance, we will suspend delivery, and credit your billing period for the time you are away. Proceed to "Delivery Options", then to "Vacation Holds" to notify us of your vacation and to stop and restart home delivery. In most cases, suspensions can take effect in two days or less from the date you make the request. If you prefer, you can donate your vacation copies to students, through our Newspaper in Education program. You will be billed as usual for the period. To donate your vacation copies, proceed to "Vacation Holds" and choose the NIE donation option.
Q: What should I do if my newspaper does not arrive or if sections are missing?
Log in and proceed to "Delivery Options" then to "Delivery Feedback" if your newspaper or paper sections have not arrived by the delivery time (6:30 A.M. Monday through Friday; 7:30 A.M. on Saturdays). In most areas, if we receive your request before 10:00 A.M. we can redeliver another paper or the missing sections to you the same day. If you would like a redelivery, call us at 204-697-7001. Otherwise, we will apply a credit to your account. Only credits for the same day can be obtained on this site. Credits for missing deliveries for previous days must be requested from a customer service representative or by e-mail us at our Customer Service Department. Be sure to include your name, delivery address, and home phone number in your e-mail, and the words MISSED PAPER CREDIT in the subject line. To receive an account extension for a missed delivery from a previous day you must contact the Customer Service department by calling 204-697-7001 or by email at Customer Service.
Q: Is it necessary to call to restart my subscription after it has been temporarily suspended?
If you provide a restart date when you suspend delivery you do not need to call again to restart your delivery. However, if the restart date has changed, or was not provided when the account was suspended, you will need to speak to a customer service representative at 204-697-7001.
