[Resolved] The Hindu Newspaper — Non delivery of News Paper till date | |
I am Manikandan and I am working for Bank of America at Hyderabad. I have subscribed "The Hindu" newspaper on a daily basis 13 July 2008.The subscription offer stated that the customer would receive 180 issues for 180 days by paying Rs.180 directly from the Hindu office by their agents . Accordingly, we must start receiving the newspaper from August first as agreed by their agent. But the newspaper was not delivered to us till now. When I contacted the Hindu office, they said it will be delivered from 18 August 2008 but nothing happened. Later, vexed by the service, I contacted the office and asked to stop the newspaper and send their concerned person to give our money back depending upon the number of issues given to us . I was promised that their person would surely come in touch with me . But no one has contacted us until now (Saturday -- 02/21/2009) . I am very frustrated with the Customer Care of The Hindu newspaper and therefore demand a full refund of my money, i.e., Rs.180/- The book order number is 0420461. Earlier I worked for “The Indian Express” at Trichy as a Electronics Engineer and I had never faced such issues. Now I don’t want your valuable paper and I need only my money back which I had paid before eight months. None contacted me from “The Hindu” at Hyderabad. I am very much disappointed. Eagerly expecting your reply at least for this Was this information helpful? | |

I am subscriber to the Hindu from last one and half year and I have renewed the subscription for one more year on 27/2/2010. Reader Subscription No is 3013363 and order no is TH 313914.
During the last year my paper agent has not delivered the paper for at least 20 days saying that the distributor has not given him the paper copy. Generally, max missing is on Sundays. While renewing the subscription for this year I made this complaint to the agent who contacted me for the renewal and then he talked to the DGM, Mr Om Prakash, who said that that would be made good by delivering the paper free of cost for next 20 days and after that the yearly subscription will commence.
I have sent SMS to Mr Om Prakash for the last 4 days as I have not received the copy of Hindu.
I have tried to contact him over the mobile ( [protected])but there is no response.
I am unhappy about the attitude of the marketing agency of The Hindu wrt the above incident.
I expect a response at least if not a favorable action.

I have subscribed for THE Hindu daily for six months. My Subscription no is 4045716. In last September I subscribed for both The Hindu, Business line. During the entire period i received the paper only after 8 am. I thought your papers may be late in delivery. When Agent No TH/453045 approached for renewal I told him
I am not interested to go for renewal because of your paper late delivery. He promised to supply the paper by 6 AM. Just based on his promise I have renewed for The Hindu daily but no improvement in delivery time.
When I am trying to contact him he is not even lifting the mobile. Three days back have contacted your Hyderabad office over office phone no. 23403902. one madam, Jyoti listened to my complaint and told me that she will come back after verifying the position. She did not tell any thing. Today again i have contacted asked for the procedure to get back my subscription amount. Again she told me the same answer, she will get back to me. In none of the case she gave me the complaint number.
Is there a mechanism reach the appropriate person to get my balance amount back.
Unfortunately I discontinued my combo pack of Times India and ET.
Please inform me the wayout
Thank you,

I am V. Praveen Kumar residing at patamata, Vijayawada. I have subscribed "The Hindu" newspaper on a daily basis 01August 2010.The subscription offer stated that the customer would receive 361 issues for 361 days by paying Rs.360 directly from the Hindu office by their agents . Accordingly, we must start receiving the newspaper from August 16th as agreed by their agent. But the newspaper was not delivered regularly till now. When I contacted the Hindu office, they said it will be delivered but nothing happened. Later, vexed by the service, I contacted the office and asked to stop the newspaper and send their concerned person to give our money back depending upon the number of issues given to us . One more petty wonder is they stop delivery of paper on sunday because the cost of the paper is more on that day. I was promised that their person would surely come in touch with me.

I am Kannan, residing at No.50, 4th Main Road, 7th Cross, domlur Layout, Bengaluru-560071. One employee of the Hindu, who introduced herself as Ms.Pushpa [[protected]] campaigned for the English edition of the Newspaper at my place. I have paid Rs.499/-, a one year Subscription from 01/02/2016 through Cheque [Order No.119943 dt 23/01/2016] . I have received an official acknowledgement for the receipt through mail. But I am yet to receive a copy of the Paper, even though five days are elapsed. I have not yet received a convincing explanation for non- delivery. To my surprise, to-day my subscription was refunded to me with no proper explanation. I am still at large to know the real reason for non-delivery. A company that trumpets its existence since 1878 does not seem to have time for its customers.

I have subscribed "The Hindu" newspaper on a daily basis 15 August 2008.The subscription offer stated that the customer would receive 180 issues for 180 days by paying Rs.180 directly from the Hindu office by their agents .Thing is that we got the paper correctly till 15 Feb and then an agent came to us and collected 180 for the next 6 months renewal but we r not getting the paper now.If we are asking the agent he is saying that he is not responsible for it ...what to do...?
