I just signed up for the paper a few weeks ago, just sunday paper. I received 1 news paper (along with a card for "tips", but that is a different issue that bugs me). Then the last 2 weeks no paper. Of course, since this is new for me, I had no idea you had to call in the missing paper by 11am.

Is this a normal occurrence with the TB paper?

This is like saying, "Do Tampa restaurants always suck?", if a waiter at one restaurant doesn't bring you your food.

You have a delivery problem or someone is taking your paper. Call the paper and tell them. Talk to the delivery person and if they claim they have been bringing it you may have to wake up early and catch who ever is taking it.

In the last 6 years I think I have had to call 3 or 4 times for redelivery and half those times he was just running late, I had called at around 7am.

It isn't just the Tribune who requires you to call before 11 AM to get a replacement paper, it is that way in many cities. It maybe that they have a new delivery person and they haven't gotten the route down yet or you were left off the list they use.

I agree it is a delivery problem of some sort and they do want to know if you are having a problem with delivery.

I've had problems a few times, but I call and they get a paper to me, usually by noon. Interestingly enough all of my problems have been when the paper was really big, Sundays and Thanksgiving. It's aggravating, but they have been responsive to my calls.
