Update: Week 5 of the "Why can't the DMR deliver a paper" saga, and I STILL haven't been delivered the Rag.
Next week, I hide in the bushes and intercept the delivery guy.....
I'm assured by the customer service wonks, that it will be taken care of. Each and every week.

Hehehehehehehe, can't wait to hear about the intercept.
How many bushes are there by your van, anyways? Maybe you should park it in the open:wink::yes:

7th week of no Sunday Register
Just to update the group on my experience with the Des Moines Sunday Register:
Today is week 7 of no delivery. I've asked them to refund the full amount of my paid subscription, and I got promises and weasel words in return.
They "allegedly" sat the delivery guy down and conselled him on his lack of performance, but I doubt it; my neighbor down the street has his paper, and I am paperless.
The clock starts now on getting my money back. I'm not holding my breath....

Re: 7th week of no Sunday Register
The Redister now supports Obama so it is probably just a paper redistribution scheme, they sent your paper to someone who deserves it more. You should feel very patriotic.
But yeah that is a joke. Ever since they got bought out by Gannett, it has really been downhill.

I guess on the good side, since you're not holding your breath, you won't turn blue:sad:
:mask: Your face will keep its pinkish hue.:cute::yes::wink:
Or maybe you'll actually get a refund.:wideeyed:

Re: 7th week of no Sunday Register
Freaking hilarious, man.... But you know, my house address was once good, even though it's "fundamentally flawed..."
I told the customer service guy that he should probably find another job, as a company that cannot deliver the only product they produce is probably not long in this world.
The dude answered with kind of a nervous laugh, which told me everything about how things are going at Gannett....

First of all, I don't want to get the DMR. But I like conjugal relations with my wife, and if she is able to read real paper comics on Sunday morning, this magically results in more of those. (Don't ask me how that works, I've quit trying to figure it out...)
Otherwise, the coupons in the Sunday Paper are generally pretty good, and since I persist in my hobbies of working on cars and airplanes, and the paper makes good paint overspray protection, I tend to indulge my wife and kids in their ability to sit around on Sunday morning and read the comics.
A probable scenario. I'm off to buy a copy of People so I can serenade the wife later...
Have you tried dark chocolate and red wine? Might be more expensive in the short run, but deliver more consistently. :biggrin:
From you, baby, I take that as a compliment... Hugs and kisses, love!!! (You know you turn me on when you post that way, don't you?)
A little old for petty post stalking, aren't we? To each their own, I guess...
Sweet! Unfortunately, chocolate gives her migraines. She really really likes sitting around on Sunday morning in her jammies, reading the Sunday paper, especially the comics.
As much as I detest the Register, I'm willing to sacrifice for the love of my life.
I used to subscribe. I had them automatically deduct the amount each month from a checking account. I got a call one day from them, that if I added the weekend pack to my sunday subscription, I could get Friday and Saturday for only a dollar more. I said sure. The next week, I check my online banking, and they deducted over $500. This caused an overdraft on that particular account. I called and raised hell. They told me that it was an independant sales company that was running the special. I told them I didn't care, it was their problem, and it is causing banking fee's etc.. I got a manager on the phone who had me fax a copy of the letter of overdraft and the fee's that were charged. In the end, they refunded all my money, gave me a month free, and paid me an extra $30 for the trouble of the overdraft and fee. I switched to a monthly bill in the mail that I could send a check in for since I didn't want them to have access to my checking account. The bill was never right. One month it was $7, once it was $25, and then I didn't get a bill for 3 months, then it was $9, and then $245. I never paid the bills, and still got the paper for a good 6 months. Now if I want it for some reason, I just go to the gas station for it. It was such a mess...
Hopefully you've been tipping him throughout the year! There is a spot to do that on your bills.
Ah, yes. The final update to this whole sordid affair.
Last week I finally got my full refund from DMR.
Unfortunately it was short the charge for one copy. No explanation as to why that is, but I just want to share with the group that even the DMR cannot even screw up correctly.
What a bunch of incompetent idiots.
