Subscribed to Annual subscription of the Hindu daily which was to start on 1st Sept, 2015. Today after 4 weeks, I have not yet received the copy as yet.

I have reached out over mail citing this issue and followed up many times, but no one has shown the courtesy of even responding to the mails.

Then, I called Hindu Customer Care number two times in space of 7 days, where the lady simply apologized and informed me that someone would call me behest Hindu, but even that has not happened.

Since, almost one month has passed and Hindu has not even tried to reach me, I want a refund and would want to discontinue the subscription.

Sir, I am your yearly subscriber for the past four years. This year no one gets the subscription.Iam unable to get the newspaper.I think you are insulting me without supplying the newspaper. Please help me to get the newspaper through your Theni agent. Thank you By, , Jeganathan, s. 21/17, KRR Nagar, Second street, Theni-625531. Mobile [protected]

Thank you,

I have taken the 1 year subscription of The Hindu newspaper but till now the newspaper is not delivered. This company and the associates are all fraud. They took Rs 699 on 2-Jul-2015 and it was cashed on 16-Jul-2015. I have made several calls to the delivery boy, his team leader, their supervisor but no result. I have also raised a complaint # 029007 with The Hindu customer care and again no result. If you are not committed to deliver the newspaper then why the hell you took the subscription money. Refund my full subscription money . THE HINDU IS NOTHING BUT A VERY BIG FRAUD COMPANY.

I have paid INR 499 for a full year subscription to a sales executive who showed up on June 20. The cheque was issued and later encashed. It was issued to "Kasturi and Sons." I see the money is withdrawn. Despite registering the complaint with complaint number - 024803, the paper is not being delivered. This is unbecoming of a respected newspaper like the "The Hindu". Is this what the paper wants to be known for? Extremely disappointed at the quality of response from the newspaper authorities. Regards. Manjunath.

For the past two months I get my morning newspaper past 7 am only while Times of India comes in before 6. I am forced to read the newspaper in the evening.

This is in reference to the subscription of "The Hindu" newspaper. A representative from Hindu Marketing team has mentioned about the one year subscription plan of Hindu newspaper in 499 INR. He asked for 499 Rs cheque and i gave him the cheque of 499 in favor of "The Hindu". Same amount is deducted from my account. He told me that you will get the newspaper from 16th June. But sill i did not receive any newspaper.

Subscriber ID: [protected] I am tried of calling your toll free no and lodging complaints. My subscription started from 16 June 2015 and till now I have received only 1 newspaper that too after calling the local distributor and the vendor. I dont understand what is so challenging there to deliver a paper in todays world to a particular address. The vendor who came once said he will throw the paper everybody to 4th floor which is pretty much not viable, and when I call him up for not receiving paper he said different stories different times. I am tired of calling so many people, I want the newspaper to be delivered at my doorstep as was promised during subscription. If you cannot do that just tell me that and give my money back. It is better to go and buy paper from any shop directly. We have office, we do not have time to keep calling you daily for a newspaper. I hope you understand. Hope you will take proper step otherwise I will go to Consumer Forum, but I want to see the end of this episode. Antarik Chowdhury [protected]
