PREPRINT DELIVERY Reservations must be made 10 days prior to date of publication. Preprints must be delivered no later than 7 days prior to date of publication. Preprints must be shipped on pallets or in boxes, clearly labeled with advertiser's name, date of insertion, and total quantity delivered. Delivery will be accepted Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the loading dock located at 501 Broadway, Troy, NY 12180. Due to variances in newspaper circulation draws on a day-to-day basis the quantity you send us may be over or under what we need to fulfill your distribution instructions on a given day. To assure efficient coverage we will, depending on whether your supplied quantity is over or under our need for that day, add distribution closest to each store or subtract furthest away based on your buy in home-delivery. In addition we will subtract from or add to single copy distribution based on variances in draws. In both cases, we understand that home delivery is most valuable and will act accordingly.
