Avoiding a Paper Avalanche: How to Suspend Your Sydney Morning Herald Delivery (and Keep the Boss Happy)
Let's face it, even the most devoted news enthusiasts can get buried under a mountain of newsprint sometimes. Maybe you're planning a grand escape (think beaches, cocktails, minimal responsibilities) or perhaps household renovations are turning your living room into a war zone (definitely not ideal for pristine newspapers). Whatever the reason, taking a break from your Sydney Morning Herald delivery is a great way to avoid a paper avalanche and ensure your sanity remains intact.
But Wait, There's More! (Digital Access, That Is)
The good news is that while your physical papers take a vacation, you can stay on top of the news with the Sydney Morning Herald's digital access. This means you can still get your daily dose of current events, witty editorials (because let's face it, we all love a good opinion piece), and even the ever-important crosswords (because what else are you going to use for cocktail coasters on your tropical getaway?).
Here's the Lowdown on How to Suspend Delivery Like a Champ
Suspending your delivery is a breeze, and takes less time than it takes your pet goldfish to forget you even exist. Here's what you need to do:
Channel Your Inner Digital Ninja: Head over to the Sydney Morning Herald website (because who even uses carrier pigeons these days?) and log in to your My Account.
Unearth the Delivery Force: Once you're logged in, you'll see a bunch of options. Don't be intimidated! Look for the one that says "Suspend your delivery" and click on that like your life depends on it (it kind of does, you need a break from the paper piles, remember?).
Become a Time Traveler (Almost): There's a section called "Going Away?". This is where your inner time traveler comes in. Simply enter the dates you want your delivery suspended. Need a news detox for a week? No problem! Planning a month-long adventure? We got you covered!
Important Note: Keep in mind that for your suspension to be enacted, they need 72 hours notice. So plan accordingly, unless you enjoy the thrill of a last-minute scramble (not recommended).
Confirmation is Key: Once you've entered your dates, you'll get a confirmation email. This is basically your get-out-of-jail-free card for overflowing recycling bins.
