The newspaper itself was great quality. I was looking for the magazine that was additional to the Sunday newspaper, and did not get it with my first order. nI have no complaints about the quality of the product you offer, but have had a great experience with the customer service team in providing a memorable experience. nI would say the value for the money for the product is a bit too high, it was around $80 for a newspaper, but worth it for special occasions. The value was definitely worth the service though.
