      Yes and Yes. Got it last year for $20. Brilliant offer. Stuff the Age, boring paper and didn't home deliver when it was supposed to.

      • voter1 on 05/01/2012 - 15:55

        boring? didnt know newspapers were supposed to be exciting? guess the herald sun is as exciting as copping a mortar firework in the face?

        I got the age home delivered on weekends like it was supposed to.

          The Age for students is so much more expensive for 2012. Also The Age doesn't deliver Mon-Fri in summer holidays like Herald Sun student offer does. This year, I'm sticking to Herald Sun only.

          well you cant expect fairfax to outprice news limited can you?

          thats basically the problem with the herald sun - news limited.

        • voter1 on 05/01/2012 - 21:40
          +2

          first you say its boring, now you say bad for public transport - next you dont like the fonts?

          learn to fold the paper, broadsheet is actually better for public transport because you dont have a giant wad of paper in your hands that if you drop shatters into 80 individual pieces of paper.

        • kirynflare on 05/01/2012 - 22:40

          @cheapy - lol, well, i only get newspapers for the comics and puzzles for boring lectures… soo :)

          @kirynflare

          Yeah but you're paying for actual journalism.

          This offer is good if you're short on toilet paper or can't think for yourself.

      • footywiz11 on 05/01/2012 - 23:37

      I'm pretty sure the "student" part of the offer is a given and considering the Herald Sun is the biggest paper in Australia, people would know the location of the deal.

      • SeeKayDee on 05/01/2012 - 16:01

        It's worth noting that University staff are also eligible. I'm considering purchasing just for the weekend papers at this price ^^

    My bet is the university will get stuck with a stack of unclaimed weekday papers. People will treat this as "$10 for a year of Saturday + Sunday home delivered".

    • MiCCAS on 05/01/2012 - 16:17

      I know last year my Uni used to always run out. They don't send the full amount of papers to the Uni.

      • neil on 05/01/2012 - 17:08
        +2

        Agreed. Melbourne Uni ran out a lot of the times. As for the delivered papers, I live in an apartment complex, many times my paper was stolen (or possibly never delivered).

          No, that would be a petty thief, the Ausbargainer would be the one meeting you when you collect and picking up theirs at the same time (purchased through a deal similar to this ofcorse).

      • Wolfie on 05/01/2012 - 18:41
        +2

        I believe they do actually send the full amount, however the collection is not monitored MOST of the time, at least at my uni…so even if just a few % of ppl nick them it is very easy to run out…

    • harley on 05/01/2012 - 18:27
      +1

      Agreed. At my uni (years back,not that long though) they use to leave a pile out in front of a student counter, unguarded, and people just go by and, complimentary, pick one up free. It could be that those HS papers were not related to these kind of deals but more likely without home delivery people just can't be bothered to pick their's up that there are so many left over to give away.

    • [Deactivated] on 05/01/2012 - 19:02

      This is worth it just for the home delivery on the Sat & Sun as well as the 3 months uni students have off. Wish I was still at uni :(

    I'm a bit annoyed that my uni, ACU Ballarat isn't supported, yet ACU Melbourne and other Ballarat universities are. Still, $10 for the weekend edition is a good deal, ACU melbourne is just going to have an uncollected paper for me everyday.

      Building 9 in the City has a Herald Sun collection point for (I presume) students who subscribe to the paper.

      They used to ask for some kind of academic number but I don't see it on their confirmation form. Don't think they bothered checking last time so maybe they are not even going to pretend to check this time round.

      And the SMH/Age want to push their warmy sales pitch:

      From http://wwwp.dailyclimate.org/tdc-newsroom/2012/01/climate-co…

      "There were some exceptions to the downward trends in media coverage.

      In Australia, debate over a carbon tax generated kept the issue in the news throughout the summer. The Australia Broadcasting Corp. published 60 percent more climate stories in 2011 than it did in 2010, while the Sydney Morning Herald saw a 21 percent jump."

    $10 for a year's worth of mindless propaganda … may be worth it for the discount coupons.

    In this case NEWSpaper is almost an oxymoron … and if Andrew Bolt is still around (does anyone care?) I am pleased I haven't seen his attention-seeking crap for a long time.

    The T&C's say "The home delivery component is only available to a nominated residential, non-campus address in Victoria where normal home delivery exists, some areas are excluded."

    For a mere $10, I'm sorely tempted to ignore this, sign up and see what happens as I try to get weekend papers delivered interstate for 20c weekly. No longer being a gambler, I'll refrain from such a ploy.

      I got mine today after not getting it last weekend. I did call up on Friday though, and the guy put me on hold to try to call the distributor in my area (titan distribution). He couldn't get through but said he would try calling later in the day - not sure if he did or didn't but he gave me the number for my local distributor to call if I didn't get it this morning.

    • kelsey2112 on 07/03/2012 - 17:10

      this uni offer was apparently put on hold until I had used up my 20week offer from ourdeal. I complained about that and said i should get both. So now there going to send me 1 saturday paper and 2 sunday papers. Hopefully it comes this weekend!
