Taking a Break from the Headlines: How to Suspend Your Toronto Star Delivery (Without Resorting to Carrier Pigeons)
Let's face it, even the most devoted news junkie needs a breather from the daily deluge. Maybe you're planning a vacation (fancy you!), or perhaps you've finally gotten around to building that news-blocking tin foil hat you've been dreaming of (excellent choice). Whatever the reason, you find yourself staring at a stack of unread Toronto Stars and thinking, "There has to be a better way."
Fear not, fellow news abstainer! Here's your guide to temporarily pausing your Toronto Star delivery, because even superheroes need a weekend off.
Calling in the Cavalry (or Customer Service)
The Toronto Star offers a couple of ways to suspend your delivery. The most straightforward option is to call their customer service center. Here are the handy numbers to have on speed dial:
- 416-367-4500 (Toronto Area)
- 1-800-268-9213 (Toll-Free)
Hold for Applause (and Maybe Some Bach)
While the Toronto Star website doesn't boast a one-click delivery suspension option (yet!), you can still manage your account online. Head over to thestar.com/mysubscription [invalid URL removed] and see if your inner digital whiz can navigate the system.
Fax? Seriously?
Look, we all have our communication preferences, but unless you have a functioning fax machine gathering dust in the corner (and a burning desire to relive the 90s), this method is probably best left unexplored.
Bonus Round: Email
For those of you who haven't entirely sworn off email, you can also try sending a request to circmail@thestar.ca. Just be prepared for a potential email tag-team match before you hear back.
How To Suspend Your Toronto Star Delivery: FAQ
1. How much notice do I need to give?
It's best to call at least a few days before you want your delivery to stop.
2. Can I suspend my digital subscription too?
Yes, you can manage your digital subscription separately at thestar.com/subscriptions-orders [invalid URL removed].
3. Will my delivery automatically resume?
This depends on your plan. Make sure to confirm with customer service when your deliveries will pick back up.
4. What if I miss the newspaper while it's suspended?
Don't fret! You can still access the latest news online at thestar.com (assuming you haven't built that tin foil hat yet).
5. Can I train a squirrel to deliver the paper when I'm back?
While this option is undeniably charming, we can't guarantee its effectiveness. But hey, if you manage to pull it off, be sure to send us pictures!
