You Don't Want the T? We Get It. How to Cancel Your Boston Herald Subscription (Without Tears)
Let's face it, even the most loyal chowderhead can get a little tired of the daily headlines. Maybe you're moving out of the area and won't need your local fix of Dunkin' Donuts drama anymore. Perhaps you've discovered a newfound love for carrier pigeons and prefer your news delivered with a bit more...flapping. Whatever the reason, you're ready to hit the brakes on your Boston Herald subscription. But fear not, friend, because canceling is easier than navigating the rotary on a Friday night!
The Great Escape: Two Options Await
There are two main paths to take on your quest for cancellation freedom:
Calling in the Cavalry (Subscriber Services): This is a tried-and-true method. Simply dial 1-800-882-1211 and a friendly voice from Subscriber Services will guide you through the process. Be prepared to answer some basic questions and unleash your inner thespian with your most polite "cancellation voice."
Ghosting (Not Recommended): Look, we wouldn't recommend this tactic. The Boston Herald deserves better (and so do you – those late fees will sting!). It's best to formally end things to avoid any unwanted surprises on your credit card statement.
Important Note: Cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period. So, you'll still have access to the paper/website until then. Stock up on those crime reports for some light poolside reading!
Frequently Asked Questions: Your Cancellation Concierge
How to channel my inner Karen? While we advocate for a courteous approach, you can always channel your inner "cancellation champion" if you feel strongly about something.
How to avoid the guilt trip? Subscriber Services might try to win you back with special offers. Stay strong, grasshopper!
How to ensure I never accidentally resubscribe? Underline this one: Make a note in your calendar to NOT click on any tempting "renew now" offers that might pop up in the future.
How to stay informed without the Herald? There are plenty of other news sources out there! Local radio stations, news apps, and even carrier pigeons with tiny scrolls strapped to their legs (okay, maybe not that last one).
How to celebrate my newfound freedom? We recommend a victory dance (think "Dirty Dancing" lift, but with less Patrick Swayze) and a celebratory plate of Fenway Franks.
So there you have it! Canceling your Boston Herald subscription is a breeze. Now go forth and conquer the world (or at least your overflowing mailbox) with your newfound knowledge.
