Gazette's size delays delivery in some areas
ADVERTISEMENT
Production problems have delayed delivery of some copies of The Gazette today.
The paper is the year’s biggest, and – despite weeks of planning and preparation – the newspaper’s production staff and equipment struggled to keep up with the task of inserting the mound of advertising circulars in today’s edition.
The work was completed a few hours after schedule, and all papers were expected to be delivered by 10 a.m. Most single-copy outlets had papers available by 6 a.m. or shortly after.

vnvet7071, so you contradict yourself by visiting this web site? Why don't you go to to a different news web site instead of coming here and complaining?

10:23am called again at 10:05am. Finally convinced them that I was missed since my neighbors have been delivered. They said one would be delivered. While I understand today's dilema, I have had delivey problems for the past 6 weeks and have been missed 3 times and usually don't get delivered until after 7:00am.
Still waiting.......

The BP on Beloit Avenue got 30 in this morning. I just bought mine. They've still got at least 20 left.

Actually, MarketPlace will not have these same ads. MP doesn't come out until this weekend and these ads are for the Thursday night / Friday morning sales.
Hope they are paying the carriers at Sunday rate for today's deliveries! Today's papers are bigger than the largest Sunday one!

Actually, Marketplace is predominantly Sunday inserts and doesn't include every insert that's in the paid paper.

You'd think with the "mound of advertising circulars" that the paper would be free, but it isn't.
BUT NOT TO WORRY!
Your Marketplace will have the exact same thing and it's FREE!

8:45am I have not recieved a paper, my neighbors have.
Circulation told me they do have a paper to send me.
Guess I'm out of luck unless I want to spend an additional $2.00
