      I had paid Rs. 999 online on their website for an annual subscription on Aug 5. I did not receive a subscription number or any issue delivery and contacted them by email on Sep 10 asking them to cancel my subscription and refund the amount. It was only after my email that they generated my subscription number and said that they would dispatch the September issue, which would arrive before Sep 20. They do not mention on their website that issue dispatch and delivery takes so long. It is far easier to get the issue from a newspaper stand, issues for the current month are available at the end of the previous month. Even after multiple emails, they are not cancelling my subscription. They should cancel immediately and refund my payment.

      Subscription Number – [protected] /cust id-[protected] or case id-128286.

        I got a Year-Long Subscription last month. I am eagerly waiting for my first copy of September issue which hasn't been delivered yet. If you could kindly email the details of the post relating to the same it would make my day.
        They take forever to dispatch. Still waiting for my September issue and have asked for a refund. You should do the same. Easier and quicker to get the copy from a local seller.

            Hi, how do I follow up on my order? I have raised the complaint already and still have not received the package I paid for. This is the second time I am raising this issue. How long do I need to wait?

                    My Subscription Number is [protected] Cust id [protected]. I have not received the copies of Readers digest since June 21.Since last 2 months I have being repeatedly reminding them by email. Inspite of their emails promising by courier the copies to be sent, I have not yet received it. Their standards of customer service have deteriorated considerably in the last year. Sincerely thinking of discontuing the subscription, after 10 years of being a regular subscriber.

                                On 18th April 2021, I had subscribed 'Reader's Digest' for my daughter. There I provided e-mail id and phone number of my daughter as follows -
                                E-mail - [protected]@gmail.com
                                Phone - [protected]
                                Then I made payment of Rs. 999/- for one year subscription through my paytm number i.e.
                                [protected].
                                While making payment I received a message whether to update the phone number?
                                I clicked on 'No'. The payment was Successful. But neither me nor my daughter received any payment confirmation or subscription confirmation. So, pls help me in this regard.

                                        Address: Reader's digest India, C9, sector 10, Noida

                                        I am a regular reader of reader's digest since last 10 years. For last few years, I have been buying subscription date of RD. Previous subscription got me only half of the copies. This time I had bought subscription for two years after shifting to a posh area thinking that copies will not be lost. I paid last year in April for two years; subs no.[protected], customer ID [protected], but till date I got only three copies, one for May June together and for November and December. Inspite of 10-15 mails I didn't receive my copy. The free bluetooth given is also faulty. I want my refund of total amount paid +penalty cost for harrassing me for one year . I have spent hours on phone calls and mails but all in vain. My email id is [protected]@gmail.com
                                        Please help.🙏

                                        I don't want any copies now. Just help me get my total refund of money. I will never ever buy Reader's digest from now onwards and would suggest others too never to buy any subscription. This Dominic Savio is a fraud and should be put behind the bars. I paid for two years and got only three copies since April 2020 to March 2021
