I,ve subscribed TOI for 2 year by paying in advance to "Times of India"..but from last 25 days the TOI is not getting delivered at my house.Our local news paper vender is Mr.Jeevan Jamadar & the agency is Omkar News paper agency,Panvel.In spite of calling the vendor for more than 10 times in a day the service is not started yet.Such vendor's license should be cancelled or they should be punished by law.

I request you to look in to the matter and help for getting a better service from "The Times Group".

Dear Sir,
I am subscribing TOI Bhopal edition in Jhansi for which vendor is asking for Rs 4 instead of printed rate of Rs 3 (for daily paper) and Rs 5 against printed rate of Rs 4 for Sunday Times from April 15 2012 on monthly bill. Please clear the situation on my email address/send sms .

Sir,

I am P.V. Rema from 11/5, Balaji Apt, Thiruvalluvar Salai, Gandhi Nagar, Alwarthirunagar, Chennai-60087. I would like to inform you that my Times of India Newpaper vendor E. Kandhan Selvaam of Star Services, No. 1, Arignar Anna St., Sanjai Gandhi Colony, KK Nagar, Chennai-600078, has not been delivering the newspaper copies regularly.

Furthermore, he has collected the 1 year subscription fee but not provided me with a bill. He collected the money in September, 2011 saying he can give the bill only after submitting the money at the office. Till date he has not given me the bill and the supply has been most irregular. I have not received a copy for the last 5 days. Other subscribers in my building also face the same problem. We have brought this to the notice of your representative Mr. Shankar who seems not to be bothered about these things. I hope action will be taken and that the supply of the newspaper resumes.

Thank you,
P.V. Rema

This is to bring to the attention of the General Public of India that the TIMES GROUP a so called Respectable, Reputed Organisation, is indulging in unfair Trade practices, by cheating the Public through their supply of cheap and substandard Products advertised and promoted through The Times India Readers Offer.
I am a unfortunate and very aggrieved Consumer who had implicit faith in the Brand and the belief that Times was a reputed Company in India and that they would not stoop to such third rate tricks to lure patrons into purchasing substandard products.
This is not my first experience...
Through my implicit faith and belief I had purchased such products as promoted in the Times of India news paper, at least four times.
On all occasions I was provided with third rate Products that do not meet the minimum quality criteria.
The last purchase was delivered on 25th May 2012 Order No.[protected] (BIRDE 14 Pcs Non Stick Cookware Set with Free Cordless Stainless Steel Kettle at 54% discount Product Price Rs.5,490/- and offer Price Rs.2,499/- +Rs.240/- extra for delivery.
Unfortunately after a weeks wait the product was delivered in fully damaged condition, not usable and very poor quality. (NO ISI CERTIFICATION) either for either the cook ware or the Electric kettle.
The consumer is made to believe through the Call agent that the Product is the best quality available and is true value for money proposition.
On complaining today vied complaint No. 243011 dated 26th May 2012, they tell me they will take 15 days to replace and that I have to first send back the Product to them, then they will consider an early dispatch.
The Indian Consumer has been made and " OFF"......
I WISH TO BRING TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC INTEREST THAT NO ONE SHOULD BE CARRIED AWAY BY THE BOGUS PROPAGANDA AND PROMOTION BY THE TIMES GROUP IN THEIR DAILY AS ALL PRODUCTS ARE NOT FIR FOR DOMESTIC USES CONSIDERING THE OFFER CLAIMED IN THE MUCH HIPPED "READERS OFFER" WHICH IS NOTHING BUT READERS MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN.
KINDLY PASS ON THIS MESSAGE TO ALL CONCERNED AS THIS IS ANOTHER SCAM IN THE MAKING........

AVOID TIMES READERS OFFER IN YOUR OWN INTEREST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Respected Sir/Madam,

I gave my daughter's matrimony advertisement in Times of India(Times classified) more then 9 times the recent order no. was 7698246 after each and every published advertisement i got some sms on my phone([protected]) from TOI side on those sms's they are suppose to provide us the information regarding the best suitable match for my daughter the service called "IWISH" but most of the time they gave incomplete, incorrect or inappropriate information and whenever i try to talk to the customer care executives they are unavailable or busy and the senior executives of TOI namely Mr. Rajeev, Ms. Heena and Ms, Dimpy and many more they are unable to provide the information and always gave false assurance. I really had a bad experience with this paper, so i just request you please look into this matter and suggest me the further course of action. Waiting for the positive response.

With Regards

M/S BENNETT, COLEMAN& CO LTD,
1. My late father, Shri M . Gopinathan had been subscribing to the Times of India Newspaper since the last many years.
2. His current Order No is - NAG - 041182.
3. Since my mother has changed her residence, I have been trying to intimate the change of address since the last three weeks.
4. The Subscriber Helpline[protected] is never ever attended. Hence this complaint.
5. The New Address where the Newspaper is now required to be delivered is 11/1, New Fort Glacis Officer's Enclave, Fort Saint George, Anna Salai, Chennai - 600009.
6. Will someone please take note and implement the change

I,Abhishek Dhara,placed an order for subscription to the Times of India at the subscription price of Rs/-390 for one year.I gave the check on 24/08/2011.
(cheque no 062923) and money has been debited from my account.But I have not got the coupon till now.

I believe there is something fraud case and your company is not looking seriously into the matter.

My order no is 3481052.
