@Lizette603_23@mastodon.social No, it was me who couldn't subscribe.
And then the Inquirer finally figured out I could use Apple Pay to subscribe from Canada.

@GottaLaff@mstdn.social @Lizette603_23@mastodon.social Neither Laffy nor I could subscribe directly: Tried to 2 or 3 times over a year and the Canadian postal code was always the deal breaker. Any programmer in their circulation department could fix that in a minute with a few keystrokes.
@JonChevreau@mstdn.ca @GottaLaff@mstdn.social @Lizette603_23@mastodon.social I absolutely don't know this for sure, but I think it's pretty likely that Canada Post will successfully deliver, perhaps with a delay, to an address with a missing postal code or one that's completely misformatted, ie, a fake zip code or whatever the web site would accept.
@DaleHagglund@hachyderm.io @JonChevreau@mstdn.ca @GottaLaff@mstdn.social @Lizette603_23@mastodon.social Canada Post is pretty impressive. Had a Canadian sender try to send me something and didnβt put the country. It did quite the trip, to Washington state, then to Western Australia, then finally to Wellington, New Zealand. I guess the system tried the W places. Took an age, but I got the package.
@jackyan@mastodon.social @DaleHagglund@hachyderm.io @GottaLaff@mstdn.social @Lizette603_23@mastodon.social The issue here is not physical delivery, itβs a Philly newspaperβs reluctance to send digital editions to Canadian would-be subscribers by not processing Canadian postal codes.
@JonChevreau@mstdn.ca @jackyan@mastodon.social @GottaLaff@mstdn.social @Lizette603_23@mastodon.social Sorry if I misunderstood, I had the impression that the subscription would have worked except for a problem entering the postal code.
