We order all eight of our newspaper subscriptions (including our hometown paper)

through EBSCO, and are perfectly satisfied with the service.  Those we get
through
the mail don't come as promptly as the one delivered to the door, of course, but
I
would say they all arrive in as timely a fashion as could be expected if we
ordered
direct from the publishers.
