The Hindu Complaints & Reviews

I had registered for frontline magazine. Even after 1 month from start date I have not received a single magazine or a proper reply from frontline. Every time they say they will respond in 24hours 48 hours but have not received a single reply from them. Such a pathetic service my god. Please never register for any Hindu magazine especially hardcopy. No one there is interested to even resolve your query. Pathetic service absolutely pathetic

I have paid 1722 rs for subscription of The Hindu news paper on 8th sep. I was informed by 16th I'll be getting my paper. But till date I didn't get it and I have called The Hindu customer care 5-6 times.Each time they will ask me either 72hrs or 48hrs to resolve the issue. But till date nothing happened. Now I saw many people complained about the same issue. I don't understand why they are not giving any value to our time and money.How can they be such irresponsible after taking money from customer. Really fed up of Hindu group.

My Subscription should start by 16th September But till date i didn't receive any newspaper. Please look into it. I reside in bangalore.

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]

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.
