Hello Jimp,
Yesterday I received my newspaer – Edition Dec. 25, 2020. As you see it took 1 Month exactly for me to receive it.
I love the paper because I lived in Jefferson many years. My daughter sends or pays for my subscription. I like to keep up with the obits and see how my grandchildren are doing in school, sports, etc. Anyway, is there some way I could receive my newspaper sooner? I know its 3rd class mail, but surely it should be received sooner than a month late to the day.
I enjoy y’all’s paper and please try to help me.
Thank you
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Nancy S. Smith

Mrs. Smith,
Newspaper delivery is a challenging part of small town newspapers like the Jimplecute. We rely on the US Postal system to deliver in a timely manner. We do use what is called Periodical (or 2nd Class mail) but while we enjoy reduced rates, it can take longer for delivery. Normally, subscribers in your area receive the paper by the Monday after we mail on Thursday.
The last few weeks we have seen a delay in delivery to different areas – none of which are consistent.
We are working with our local post office to try and figure out what is going on and see how to correct the situation.
We apologize for the delay in you receiving your paper and hope this one gets to you faster.
