            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.

                    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 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

                        Hello,

                        I paid against RD subscription on 16th Dec 2020 and from 20th January struggling to get my copy. I did not receive copies for January and February. Web Reference No.-RDENW[protected]

                        Made several calls on so called customer care, they ask to wait for 10 days - we will solve your problem and arrange a call back from some manager. Excuse th is the courier returned- I am living in a heart of a big city like Pune and this lame excuse of courier returning due not non service in the area is not acceptable.
                        Earlier complaint reference no.-84313 (not resolved)

                        I want refund of my hard earned money.

                                Not even a single book has been received by us. I was very proud of your subscription, but with this instance all my opinion has been shattered and I feel I had wasted my 12 months subscription.
                                I request you send all the copies immediately failing which I would escalate the same to get justice in suitable forum
