Age Subscription - MFC Membership deal

[CarnTheDees 52]

I signed up for the $25 Age subscription (which is a great deal), which stated that we would receive Fri, Sat, Sun, Monday's Age newspapers for all of 2009.

The first one (Friday 2nd Jan) didn't arrive so I called up the Age subscription people - it turns out that they don't have my address on file as the MFC has shut down over xmas-new year and hasn't yet sent across all the information. This may be understandable if I signed up for my membership in late December but I renewed in early November and received a call from the club just after to confirm the address details specifically for the newspaper delivery.

Supposedly it should come through around the 16th Jan - which is six papers I'm missing out on. Not the biggest concern in the world but you worry that if they can't organise a newspaper subscription how can they run a footy club.

Our is delivered by the local newsagent, can you take it up with them in the interim? It may be as easy as showing them some ID or printed receipt of purchase and you're all good. Otherwise maybe it hasn't formerly commenced yet and your 52 weeks will will end later cos it started later

good luck

I have already been receiving mine for the last 4 weeks. Had no problems. Sounds strange. But also, I don't think The Age have anything to do with delivery. It would be your local newsagent. I may be wrong, but I think that's generally how it works.

Not the best, but don't panic, I'm sure you will get your 52 weeks worth one it gets started.

Mine started on Dec 18, and I re-signed mid october from memory

It's done by the local newsagents (who I assume have a list handed to them by The Age).

The first few I had kept getting nicked, I went in to ask if they could throw the papers further down the drive and he said no worries, and also to pick up a copy of the day's paper.

It's a great initiative and will save you money in the long run anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just ask the newsagents

A quick question on this, I signed up for it, got my first paper today, but when I signed up I didnt enter my membership number (stoopid computer wouldnt load the field), so I was wondering how they identified I was a member, does anyone know?
