Concord Monitor – Sentinel Transitions to Mail Delivery for Enhanced Consistency
The Concord Monitor and its sister publication, the Sentinel, will transition their delivery method exclusively to the United States Postal Service (USPS) starting March 13, 2023, aiming to improve reliability and consistency for subscribers. The change comes after the newspapers experienced challenges in delivering through independent carriers, particularly during periods of inclement weather or staffing shortages. By partnering with the USPS, the publications expect to ensure timely and dependable delivery to subscribers’ mailboxes. “We understand the importance of receiving your newspapers on time, and we believe that switching to mail delivery is the best way to guarantee that our subscribers have access to the news and information they rely on,” said Mark Guerringue, President and Publisher of the Concord Monitor. The USPS is a well-established and trusted delivery service that reaches every residential and business address in the United States. By leveraging the postal service’s infrastructure, the Concord Monitor and Sentinel expect to provide a more consistent and reliable delivery experience for their readers. “We are committed to providing our subscribers with the best possible experience, and we believe that this transition to mail delivery will be a positive step forward,” said Guerringue. Subscribers can expect their newspapers to arrive in their mailboxes by 6:00 am on their regular delivery days. Those who currently receive their newspapers before 6:00 am may experience a slight delay in delivery. “We appreciate the patience and understanding of our subscribers during this transition,” said Guerringue. “We believe that the improved consistency and reliability of mail delivery will be worth the adjustment.” Current subscribers will continue to receive their newspapers at the same rate. New subscribers can sign up for home delivery by calling 1-800-368-2389 or visiting the Concord Monitor website at www.concordmonitor.com. The Concord Monitor and Sentinel are committed to providing their readers with high-quality journalism and in-depth coverage of local, state, and national news. The transition to mail delivery is a step towards ensuring that subscribers continue to receive the news and information they need, when they need it.
