To help readers better understand our decision to partner with the U.S. Postal Service for same-day delivery of The Daily Leader, we have offered answers to the most common questions surrounding the change.

Q: Why did The Daily Leader change from newspaper carriers to the U.S. Postal Service?

A: The postal service gives us the best option to deliver the daily newspaper in the most timely and cost-effective method.  It allows guaranteed delivery each and every day and allows us to put more resources toward reporting and providing the best possible local news coverage.

A: You will receive the newspaper with your normal mail delivery, Tuesday-Saturday. The newspaper will continue to publish five days per week. You will receive same-day delivery.

Q: What if I do not receive my newspaper or do not receive it the same day?

A: Please contact the newspaper office first. We will check the status of your account before contacting the post office and working to get you that day’s paper.

Q: Why the change from Sunday to Saturday delivery?

A: We made the change to a Saturday delivered weekend edition because the post office does not offer delivery on Sundays.
