How To Put Your Newspaper On Hold

Step 1: Make A Plan

Sit down and decide when you need to have your newspaper service stopped and the first day you want to receive it again. Those will be your start and end dates. You will also need to decide whether you will want your old newspapers available to you when you return, have your service suspended, or, if you like, have them donated to a local school.

Step 2: Go Online

Most major newspapers have a website that allows customers to adjust their newspaper service. Simply fill out the appropriate webpage.

Step 3: Make The Call

For smaller papers, you may need to call the newspaper and place your subscription on hold over the phone.

Step 4: The Double-Check

To make sure that your newspaper service has been suspended, ask a neighbor to stop by your home and double check there are no papers in front of your house. Or if you prefer, have your service placed on hold a few days early and check yourself before you leave.
