              I won't give them even one star. I tried to cancel my subscription and get the balance of it refunded because of poor delivery and customer service. Since changing over on December 12, 2022 having the post office deliver the paper my service has been terrible. Out of the 17 days I was supposed to receive the paper I have only received it 8 times. My mail service is not very reliable. I get mail delivered maybe once a week and sometimes I get the papers which are anywhere from 3 to 4 days old or I don't get any papers at all. I subscription goes to July 23, 2023. Trying to speak to someone in person by phone is a nightmare. I tried chatting online and waited for over 20 minutes before I cancelled the chat. Then I tried the phone and then I waited for another 20 minutes or so before anyone came online. I feel because of the poor service I should at least be able to cancel and get my money back.
