First, thank you to our subscribers!
As we launched this new newspaper one of our first decisions was to select a method for delivery.
Our first option was the USPS. This option is the most utilized amongst weekly papers. It's typically been very trustworthy and generally timely.
With the supply chain crunches, hiring issues, and other messes currently going on, we did look at delivering directly. This option is certainly more expensive and as we didn't really know how many folks would actually want a physical newspaper in Saline County, we chose to start with USPS.
Last week it appeared as everything went relatively as planned but this week we have heard from a few subscribers that papers didn't arrive today.
This is unacceptable in our eyes. Our papers were printed and delivered to the USPS on Thursday in Wichita.
As a result of this delay, and the crazy number of folks subscribing (thank you again), moving forward your newspapers will be delivered by us. We are hiring drivers to take care of this to ensure you have delivery that is timely and reliable.
(In the month since we announced the print edition we already have a circulation of 6,000. Thanks again for being a subscriber).
If you subscribed and didn't get this week's paper yet, please email us at anydaynow@salina311.com and we'll make sure you get one ASAP.
