      This is my second complaint on this business. WE HAVE TAKEN THE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY PAPER FOR MANY YEARS. OUR SERVICE (DELIVERY) IS VERY POOR. EITHER WE DONT GET A PAPER AT ALL OR THE PAPER IS MISSING SECTIONS. JUST THIS PAST SUNDAY WAS THE LAST STRAW. THERE IS JUST NO WAY THAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO REPORT THESE MISSED PAPERS OR INCOMPLETE SECTIONS. THE ONLY RESPONSE IS "WE WILL CREDIT YOUR ACCOUNT" BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO VERIFY THIS IS EVER DONE. BESIDES, WE DONT WANT CREDIT, WE WANT THE PAPER DELIVERED. SO, AS OF TODAY I HAVE CANCELLED OUR SUBSCRIPTION. AND ALTHOUGH I DOUBT THIS WILL EFFECT THE NEWSPAPER, I ALSO WILL BE PUTTING A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AND SOCIAL MEDIA.

      I constantly pick up. Sunday paper.. The comics being eighty five percent of the reason. But several times recently I have gotten the paper and the comics are missing.. Sometimes there's a duplicate of one of the orjer the sections instead.... I guess it's kind of my fault for not checking before i leave with my paper.. But I don't think I should. Think I should have to

      We've had problems with the B.R. Advocate driver for over 2 years going over 40 in our 20 mph subdivision. I've yelled at him to Slow Down but it does no good, and he also speeds through the 2 Stop signs! I've called the paper, police, sheriff and filed complaints but nothing has been done about it! Last week I was about to step off driveway to go walk with my neighbor and he sped by, threw the paper and came back to leave and swerved from his lane into mine and would've hit me IF I had stepped into the street! I have a video of him this a.m. at 5:40 a.m. but it's 49 MB and FB only accepts 25MB but I did post in on our FB page. I sent tis to the Advocate but they probably won't do anything again: Thanks, I guess you don't want anyone to post anything that's a problem with your paper but Again as usual everyday the reckless B.R. Advocate driver came speeding in and out of our subdivision at probably twice the speed limit at 5:40 this a.m.! Last week same thing in white pickup as I was about to step off my driveway into the street he swerved from the east bound lane he was in to the west bound lane I was about to step in and came a couple feet from me! If he keeps that up someone may get injured or killed! Do Something about that reckless maniac before you get sued!! I've reported this to the Police and Sheriff Dept. AND your paper several time but NOTHING has been done
