I subscribed for newspaper on jul 13. Subscription period[protected]
To[protected].
The newspaper delivery is very irregular. Every other day one or two sheets will be missing and at least once in a week, the person delivers indian express which turns my mood off for the whole day. When i tried talking to him, he replied in a rude and careless manner. Today he said over phone that he hasn't received any message from the hindu's end regarding my subscription, hence he won't be delivering me the newspaper from tomorrow.
I have been a subscriber since july 2017. And the newspaper's agent has troubled me in a similar way in the past as well.
So i am hereby requesting you to please change my subscription to e-paper for the remaining period as i don't want to deal with that troublesome agent.
Please consider my request.

Thank you.

          I paid my renewal as per the mail sent from the hindu. But i did not receive my paper and when i asked they said me i did the payment on 28th of august 2018 so paper will come only on 16th of september 2018. When i said as per your mail only i did the payment which said renewal before 31st august 2018 the did not properly respond and give me a solution. I said i need this process to be fast and want the paper for my daily exam preperation purpose they just said we will help and didt provide any help. Poor way to deal with customer even after paying before time as provided in their mail. I need a solution and cannot wait till 16th of september.

            Dear sod,
            I got subscribed from 01/09/18, for a year. I didn’t receive my copy the first day. When asked, the agency says they haven’t received any intimation regarding my subscription. Due to some miscommunication between the hindu and the agent, still my copies are pending.
            Moreover, the agent said, they receive their copies by 06:30 am everyday. So they don’t have the delivery boys, as they go to school. By which, they can only deliver my copy the next day.
            I tried contacting the office multiple times, but no proper response so far. Literally, there is not even a single person who is responsible.
            Shame on these people.

                              I have visited the hindu newspaper advertisement agency in parrys, chennai (Opposite to the madras high court) on 26/6/2018 to give an advertisement for my advocate enrolment purpose. There one mr. Abdul razzak who said he will do the needful by receiving the amount of rs.1, 100 told me that the news will be published on 27/6/2018. The very next day he called me and said the cost is rs.4, 900. I requested him to cancel the advertisement request, which he did. When i asked him to return rs. 1, 100. His lame reasons are not acceptable and he has still not repayed the money. The professionalism “the hindu” carried for so many years is degrading. I kindly request you to take action on this and return my money back.

                                    The following sms message is my confirmation for the paper. But from 2 days back the paper was stopped by regular dealer because of non payment to him from the hindu paper organisation.
                                    Why? May we know the dealer information while paying you?

                                      I called the agent, not answered properly and did not pick my call afterwards.

                                      Being one of the most popular newspaper, i did not expect the service from the your agent and your customer care department.

                                      After one your, my subscription going to end by this month(Sep 2018), customer care people and agent regularly calling and asking for renewal.

                                      They did not bother for last one year for my call and complaint.

                                        Sir
                                        hindu newspaper is not properly supplied daily in vivekananda nagar colony kukatpally hyderabad
                                        we get all other papers early in the morning but the hindu is supplied late, on the main road of our colony there is only one vendor who sells hindu, he keeps three or four copies which exhaust immediately.
                                        my plea is to see that the paper reaches on time with sufficient copies.
                                        thanking you
