Newspaper Subscriptions

My father in law gets a £2 sub to Telegraph but everytime I ring they quote me £4.15! Any ideas how I can get them to bring it down. I tried the obvious things!

I was stubborn with the Telegraph and refused to renew at £2.50 hoping to get the original £2 offer.
Although i never got the £2 offer i renewed at £2.50 after they offered me a £10 M&S voucher.

How does the subscription work, do the Times / Telegraph pay the Newsagent to deliver the paper or do you have to pick it up yourself?

With the Telegraph you either pick it up yourself or arrange delivery from a newsagent and pay them the normal delivery charge together with vouchers for the cost of the newspapers.

If you have a problem getting a Telegraph subscription at £1.50 the guy in charge at the Telegraph is apparantly John Allwood
