Postal Service Delays Impact Newspaper Business
Subscribers are experiencing delays of up to two months in receiving their newspapers.
Jill Friesz, owner of GS Publishing in North Dakota, has encountered frustrated subscribers, including one who visited her office in late September.
He was telling me he was tired of my excuses and that he may as well just quit subscribing to the paper, said Friesz. Her company operates seven weekly newspapers in the southwestern part of the state.
Friesz has received numerous complaints from subscribers who are upset about the delayed delivery of their papers.
I have so many frustrated people that call and just say, ‘Well, there’s no point in me getting the newspaper because it never gets delivered to me’, Friesz said.
