Rates are based on 25 words or fewer. There is a charge of 20¢ per word per day over 25. Bold and underlined words are 20¢ and boxing around an ad is 25¢ per day. A word is defined as that which begins and/or ends with a space. A number, telephone number, email address, web site and any abbreviations are counted as one word.

Policies

Once run, a classified ad can be canceled for a future credit only. The Technician strives for accuracy in ads. Please check the ad the first day it runs, and notify staff members of any adjustments. The Technician cannot be held responsible after the first run. In compliance with state law, we do not run advertisements promoting envelope stuffing. Advertisements placed in the Help Wanted or For Rent categories cannot discriminate. Classifieds may appear online at no additional charge.

Payment

All classified advertisements must be prepaid. No exceptions will be made. The Technician accepts Visa, Mastercard, Discover, cash and checks. Credit card information may be taken over the phone and a receipt mailed or sent by fax upon request. Tearsheets may also be provided by request.

Deadlines

The deadline for classified advertisements is one publication date in advance by 1 p.m. Classified ads may be taken over the phone or sent by fax or email.

Our office is open Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. when class is in session.
