Now it's just harrassment

I cancelled my Oregonian subscription less than two weeks ago and they have not let me forget it. I have done a couple posts on the endless phone calls that I have recieved but now they are coming to my front door.

Offering me the paper for free does not make me want to subsribe again. They might as well offer to shoot me in the foot for free.

Does anyone know how I could get a restraining order against these people?

It's just because you were such a great customer for so long. They want you, they really want you! Of course, you cancelled around the time they began to realize that they're losing 2% of subscribers each year. They hadn't figured that out when I cancelled, so they never hassled me.

It's done wonders for my self-esteem. I really feel needed.

Could try the way my grandfather once responded to one telemarketer too many: "Ma'am," he answered, with flawless politeness and serenity, "I wouldn't do business with your company if it was the last on the face of the Earth." *hang up*

After dealing with the election coverage, er I mean left-side political commentary, during the 2004 election, our entire street in Sherwood cancelled their subscriptions. The Fish Wrap lost over 20 customers in 1 day. It was a good day.

Unlike today, when Republicans and initiatives backed by the right are taking it on the chin. Thanks W.

I was in a similar position not that long ago, where the O was calling me, oh, every couple of weeks offering a free daily subscription. Actually, it wasn't even an offer: they called and said, "We're going to start free delivery for you tomorrow." After the eighth or ninth call, I finally got fed up and told them to take my name off their calling list. We still get the Sunday O, but otherwise I haven't heard from them since.

I tell the fish wrap when they pester me, that when Rowe, Bhatia, & Big Bobby Caldwell are gone, maybe we'll talk.

Until then, (I'm not holding my breath), go pound salt!

Wow Tony, you really did your homework. I'm actually amused by all this commotion though. I am on the no-call list, maybe I could sue?
