I canceled our newspaper subscription this morning. Why?
Because they raised the price. The invoice was for $135.00. My mother-in-law was given a rate of $109.00 a couple of weeks ago. She canceled anyway, still too rich for her blood.
I found out this morning, if I had renewed before the renewal date (March 8), I ‘d have gotten it for $104.00. Well, sorry, it wasn’t on the top of my to do list and I just set it aside. And now it’s gone up $31.00 a year? No, thank you.
He says “well, you can get delivery for less days a week.” What? Three days a week so it won’t cost as much? Excuse me, I have internet access, I can get all the news I want, with any type of bias I would prefer. *lol*
So, I canceled. He said “well, you owe for the past month” I said “send me a bill.” “You don’t want to pay with a credit card right now?” No, I don’t. Send me a bill.
The last time I canceled, they’d increased the price to almost $150.00. Within the next week, the phone rings, they want me back. And the price was greatly reduced, down to $101.00.
Brian said “good, now I won’t have to worry about getting rid of the newspapers that pile up.”
