Of course, we strive to maintain these guidelines as much as possible, however, there are always extenuating circumstances, such as inclement weather, that might cause your newspaper delivery to be delayed.

When will The Mercury News home delivery start?
The lead time to start delivery on a new order varies by area. In most areas, new orders begin within 2 to 3 days after the order request is received. Your expected start date will be shown on the confirmation screen after you place an order. If you have any questions about your start date, or if your newspaper subscription does not begin as scheduled on the first day, please contact The Mercury News, so that we can send a reminder notification to the delivery carrier in your area.
