SUBSCRIPTIONS
How do the voucher subscriptions work?
There are two types of vouchers: one where the vouchers are sent direct to yourself and one where the vouchers are sent direct to a newsagent of your choice.
You can subscribe to have vouchers for every day of the week (Monday to Sunday), six days a week (Monday to Saturday) or for two days a week (Saturday and Sunday).
If you decide to have the vouchers sent direct to yourself then we will dispatch 24 weeks worth of vouchers to you. There will be a voucher for each day of the week that you have subscribed for. You simply take the voucher into a participating newsagent and exchange it for your copy of The Independent or The Independent on Sunday.
If you decide to have the vouchers sent direct to your newsagent then we will dispatch 24 weeks of worth of vouchers to your newsagent. There will be a voucher for each week. We will also send you a letter to confirm that your vouchers have been sent to your newsagent and when your subscription will start and end.
Can I use my vouchers at any newsagent?
The majority of newsagents and shops will accept the vouchers, but please do check with your newsagent prior to subscribing that they are happy to accept them.
Will my newsagent lose out if I take out a voucher subscription?
No, they receive the same amount of money as they would if you paid for your newspaper normally and they also receive a handling fee per voucher to cover their costs.
What happens if I go on holiday?
If you select to have a subscription where the vouchers are sent direct to yourself then although you will be sent 24 weeks worth of vouchers they are dated so that they can be used for a period of up to 27 weeks. This means that you can have up to three weeks break from using the vouchers if you wish.
If you select to have a subscription where the vouchers are sent to a newsagent you will need to notify your newsagent of your holiday and confirm with them that they are happy for you to not use your vouchers for that period. Your newsagent can hand in your vouchers to their wholesalers up to 8 weeks after the date on the voucher.
Who will debit my account if I subscribe?
Your account will be debited by Bookshop Partnership Ltd who handle the Independent Voucher Subscription service on behalf of The Independent.
HOME DELIVERY
How does the Home Delivery service work?
Once you sign up to our Home Delivery service, delivery will commence the following Monday. Your paper will be delivered through your letterbox before 7am every morning, with no need to involve your local newsagent.
What happens if I go on holiday?
If you are planning to go on holiday, we just need 2 days notice to suspend your delivery for that period. You simply need to call our Customer Services team on 0870 750 5070 and let us know your holiday dates.
Where does Home Delivery operate?
We can deliver your newspaper to your door if you have a Central London Postcode. If you live outside London, we can offer you a voucher subscription instead. You may still be able to have a home delivery, but this would be organized by you directly with your local newsagent.
How can I pay for Home Delivery?
Payment can be made by credit card, Visa debit card or by direct debit. Simply click here
