Frequently Asked Questions
1.
Why take out a subscription?
 
Buying a subscription allows you to save money off the normal price every week. We will send you vouchers that you simply exchange for a copy every week at any local stockist..
2.
How does the subscription work?
 
We will send you pre-paid vouchers by post within 3 weeks of your first payment. Just use a voucher each week instead of cash when buying your newspaper. Voucher subscribers also get free access to the digital edition. Details are supplied in your welcome email. Simply hand the relevant day’s voucher to the retailer as full payment for your publication.
If you have a digital subscription only - your login details and link to the digital edition will be emailed to you within 15 minutes of completing your order.

Where can I purchase my copy?
 
The publication is widely available at all major retailers in the area. If you find your newsagent does not stock it, please ask them if they can order for you. If you still experience difficulty please call us and we’ll be happy to find a retailer in your area where you can redeem the vouchers.

Do I need to renew my subscription?
 
If you pay by Direct Debit, don't worry, we will do all that for you. Your new vouchers will automatically be sent to you two weeks before your existing vouchers expire.
If you pay by credit card, we will notify you before your subscription expires with details of how to renew.
5.
How does Direct Debit continuous payment work?
 
Subscriptions are made on either an annual, bi-annual or quarterly basis by Direct Debit. Your payments are spread accordingly. As this is a continuous payment method you are in complete control of your subscription as well as eliminating the need for renewal reminders.

Is the online payment secure?
 
Yes. We use SSL encryption software to keep the details of your order and payment information secure.

How do you acknowledge receipt of my order?
 
If you order online, we will acknowledge your order with a receipt at the end of the transaction and an email sent to the email address you have supplied. If you order by phone and have given us your email address, we will send you an email confirmation immediately. If you don’t have an email address we will write to you within a week.

What if my publication doesn’t publish on any given day?

Can I use my voucher to pay for a different title?
