I've done one of these deals before and it's worked out great. I'm past by delivery period and am still receiving the paper.
The only caveat is for the first 5 weeks or so, the paper was actually delivered by a newspaper delivery person and was on my door step when I was on my way to work at 5AM. However, after 5 weeks, the paper was mailed USPS and I didn't get it until the mailman delivered at 2PM.
Keep in mind with the WSJ that if it's mailed USPS, you'll be reading very old financial news by late afternoon.

If you need updated news, then a newspaper is not for you. What the WSJ does provide is great analysis, although the quality seems to have suffered a bit after Dow Jones was purchased by News Corp.
I agree that the quality has gone downhill. The slip started when they shrank the paper. Some days I can find as much business news in either the NY Times or USA Today. I even see many typos that any college newspaper would be catching.
I started a home delivery subscription in June and I didn't know that the Wall Street Journal now uses Publishers Circulation Fulfillment in my area for home delivery. This is the same service that delivers the local papers and are known for always being late or missing the delivery entirely.
The first few weeks, everything was great. I had the paper by 6:15 am. Then the Wall Street Journal started coming later and later and finally stopped showing up. I have gotten it three times in the past week.
It's hard to justify shelling out $2.00 for this paper now on a daily basis. And it is not worth the 3,300 miles I paid for the awful home delivery service of the Wall Street Journal. I started reading it 30 years ago for the business news which they are getting away from.
Why didn't Rupert Murdoch just start a new national paper instead of ruining the Wall Street Journal?
