Ancient days:
The *normal* distribution was by door-to-door salesman ("wederverkoper").
In some areas where the subscribers were few and far between, the subscriptions came by mail.

Modern times:
Distribution is done by Medianet (or Media Expresse, whatever). This is not the regular Dutch mail company.
Maybe on some places they *do* use regular mail (TPG Post), I don't know.
