Times News Paper,Chennai — Non receipt after subscription

Dear Sir,

I had subscribed to Chennai edition of Times Newspaper on 11th of July 2008 vide receipt number TOI NAA 023452 in the name of Nanda Kishore A S. But to my dismay I find that they are unable to deliver my copy till today. All my requests seem to have fallen on deaf ears and promises are being made everyday that the same will be sorted out by the very next day. However, it remains undelivered and i am forced to lose my temper daily.
I would like to know what is wrong with my details and if there is still something to be sorted out I request you to cancel the same and return my money because the experience has been rather traumatic

The times of india newspaper — non receipt of newspaper

I am Virabadran G residing at Mogppair East Chennai. Earlier I was at Surat and I was a regular subscriber of TOI newspaper. Hence on my return to my native place I chose to subscribe for TOI in preference to another English daily. I paid a one year subcription of Rs.300/- to a local agent in the first week of February 2009. But ever since the payment was made, I was not getting the paper regularly.

But all of a sudden, since 10th of August, the delivery of the TOI Newspaper has been stopped. This is not good advertisement for the TOI.

I donot know where I should lodge a complaint.

Times of india paper — Charging Extra Money

Our local vendor is charging extra money for Timesofindia newspaper. We only take TOI from him. monthly the charges should be around 65-70 ruppes. But instead he charges 100 Every month. The price as mentioned on the paper is Rs. 2 (monday till friday) Rs. 2.50 (saturday) and Rs. 3 (sunday). Every month for the last one and a half years he has been taking 30-35 ruppes extra.

all the regular newspaper distributors are charging extra money per month, other than the total of the cost of the newspaper.
(charging Rs 100 per month for every newspaper)

Times Of India - Daily — Delivery of TOI daily at 9am

I went for the annual subscription of TOI daily newspaper since Feb 2009. I stay near Padi, Chennai- 600050.
Till date the paper is delivered at or after 9am. In my street, there are around 5 subscribers who requested to deliver the paper at 7am to the TOI agent named "Mr.Chandran", also we called up the TOI office and registered the complaint regarding the same. No action has been taken yet on this issue.

Please advise on the next step to be followed on this regard.

Times Of India — delay in receiving newspaper

i live in STES campus, vadgaon bk, pune, from last 3 months i am receving times at around 8.30 to 9 am, i think for a newspaper as old as 200 yrs its a matter of concern, the thing is that this is happining in a city like pune, think what can happen in remote areas

I had subscribed for TOI for one year with Rajaram Matabhik Yadav who sits outside Milan restaurant near Pritam Restaurant at Dadar East. All others bring TOI before 7 AM but this man delivers at around 4 PM. Inspite of telling him to either deliver on time of refund balance money, he is doing neither. If many others start doing like this, nobody will subscribe for annual subscription. Please help.

Beside spreading pornography Times of India articles encourages Pre-Marital Sex and Live-In Relationships. Marriage and family values are promoted as untrendy. Some may ask what's wrong with that? Why do you think in the west people are starting to promote 'abstinence from sex before marriage' in colleges. Even in West teenage pregnancies are viewed as detrimental to society. We need to wake up and act now to stop such news media which promote erotic journalism from advancing too far or India will soon end up as a country known for its high teenage pregnancies and high promiscuity among teenagers. If as a Parent or as a concerned citizen if you want to do something to stop this please sign the following Petition.

Times Of India — PUBLISHING OLD NEWS IN TRIPURA EDITION

BEING AN AVID READER OF TOI I FEEL VERY UPSET WHEN THEY CHARGE EXTRA AMOUNT FOR THE NEWSPAPER AS AIR SURCHARGE+THE COVER PRICE BUT PUBLISH ALL OLD NEWS ITEMS WHICH HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED EARLIER IN THE KOLKATA EDITION.THE TRIPURA EDITION IS NAMED AS *KOLKATA.WHY THIS HAPPENS??THIS IS NOT EXPECTED FROM A NATIONAL DAILY

Ref.: subscription no.: NAJ027615

Dear Sir,

I am getting frustrated to resolve the issue between our newspaper vendor Sandhya News Mart (Mr. Babu - Mobile [protected]) and TOI. I have been paying for annual subscription since the last 3 years. The current year I have paid for the annual subscription - application reference number referred above. Our news paper agency has been making our life impossible for no fault o[censored]s and asking us the TOI monthly amount since he claims that the he has not been get the money from TOI.

He has been asking us some other document which obviously I have not received inspite of the subscription. I have spoken to several people in your Chennai office who have assured us that this problem will be resolved immediately. Its been a month since I spoke and todate I do not see any positive results. I cannot imagine a responsible organisation like yours cannot resolve this issue and everyday in the morning I have to face the newspaper agency which ends up in arguments. Today I have finally paid the TOI money to him. It seems that once we pay the subscription amount we are suppose to receive some slip that your subscription agent is suppose to hand it to over to us which inturn we have to give it to the news agency for getting their dues. I have not received this slip. Our subscription is until July 2013. I would appreciate if you could immediately resolve this issue failing which I will have to escalate this issue to the next level and the consumer forum.

I once again request you to resolve this issue between you and your agency and ensure that I get my daily subcription without any stoppage. for now I have paid this news agency for the last month TOI because of his torture.

Awaiting your reply and resolution to this problem at the earliest.

Best regards,

Times of India/ news paper — cheating don by times of india

dear all ,
i tell you the real thing how the times of India Chennai use to cheat the customers. i subscribed to the times of India for daily newspaper by paying 300 rupees. and they provided me the reciept of times of india with hologram, on 29/09/2010. and i got newspaper from 1/10/2010 only for 10 days. i didnt get any newspaper further. when i made a call to the agent mobile no, he said me that they will provide regularly, but never and after 2 days his mobile was out of reach, then i contacted to main branch in Chennai on[protected], she( her name was Priya) assured me that within 48 hours they will resume the service, but not really. after 2-3 calls, she asked me to talk to the manager whose name was mr. guru... i talked to him he also assured that, he will take the action, and said the local agency fellow will solve the case when i talked to this guy whose name was balaji, he started talking very roughly, moreover he scolded me telling that this is not his responsibility, not to call him again...again i spoke to manager but he was just as before and never took it seriously, what can i do other than this...i ddnot receive any newspaper till today 08/02/2011., friends i am not the alone who is suffer from cheating done by times of india people, i came to know about so many people around me who is suffering from this type of cheating by TOI... so beware of TOI..

sir,
I have taken yearly subscription of your news paper from 02/01/2012.the person in-charge of the delivery is one Mr. KANNAN
( his phone no: [protected])since the day I subscribed I have never got the paper before 8.30 - I get it only after I leave for the job or sometimes I never get it at all in spite of informing him many times.

because your's is one of the reputed media we subscribe hoping that we get a satisfactory service from you.but shockingly the case is different.
please see that your reputation is not at stakes.and don't push us to the extent that we seek legal help.
Note: if you can supply regularly before 7.00 a.m which is the time to read news paper you take the subscription otherwise you do not go for it.

hoping you provide what you promise. .

This is about The Times of India, Chennai region. Times of India collects one year subscription in advance at a lesser rate in order to catch the market share. They advertise in a big way and they proudly say that they are the number one paper in Tamilnadu circle. This is the outside picture, but the reality is very different, I have subscribed to the Times of India, Chennai edition for one year (Subscription No.[protected]. Have duly handed over the subscription receipt copy to the local vendor (Amman News Mart) who delivers the news paper which is valid till 31st August 2012. He was delivering the newspaper till middle of June ‘ 2012 ( even till June the newspaper was not delivered for several days in between). When we contacted the local vendor who was delivering till middle of June ‘2012, he replied us very rudely and he abruptly disconnected the call saying that my subscription is expiring on 30th June ‘ 2012 and he cannot supply the news paper anymore and he said we can complain to anyone and he is least bothered about that. The local vendor speaks a like a rowdy. The Amman news mart guy says that “don’t call me, you go and ask to Times of India, you have paid to him and not to me”.
We took up the matter with Mr.Amudan, Manager, Times of India ( [protected]) and he had instructed Amman news mart to deliver the paper regularly and had confirmed that the subscription is indeed valid till August 2012. The agent had also agreed on the same, while on the con call. Surprisingly, the paper was again not delivered till today morning. We had sent a message to Mr. Amudan in this regard we could not contact any one in times of India.
Have registered a written complaint through email on 11th July ‘ 12 to the email id crm.[protected]@timesgroup.com but the result is same, no action is taken. The beauty is we have received a renewal letter from Times of India asking us to renew it for a further period of one year commencing from 01st September ‘ 2012. The renewal letter clearly acknowledges that my subscription is valid till 31st August 2012. They have given a number[protected] for the subscriber to call if the payment is ready. I even tried that number, most of the times no one picks up, very rarely some one picks up and say it is a canteen and they disconnect the line immediately. This is how Times of India functions.
Times of India speaks, writes, points out mistake of others, but they are least bothered about the subscriber, since they have collected the money in advance and they have achieved the market share they required. Times of India have no rights to comment on our Politicians or bureaucrats, saying that they are not doing their duty. It is the duty of times of India to make sure my paper is delivered throughout the subscription period, since they have collected the money.
If they can’t sort out a simple issue how can Times of India pin point mistakes of others, their attitude towards mistakes will be the same. Mine is not the unique problem, if you google it you can see lot of similar problems. Don’t go for fresh subscription of Times of India newspaper or don’t renew it if you have already subscribed.

I have subscribed for Times of India Newspaper for one year. Now-a-days my vendor is not deliverying newspaper at odd times. When I asked him about this, he stopped delivering the newspaper.

I had taken an annual subscription for Times of India by paying Rs. 299/- in October 2013. Order No. NAN 068350 – Subscriber ID 32323720 The delivery was to start from 01.11.2013. Till today I got the paper only on 5 days after changing the agents twice. I had sent a written complaint asking for a refund to the local office and lodged a complaint online to the paper in their website. Even after repeated calls, which are generally not answered there is no response from the company. It's a shame for a national newspaper to treat its customers like this.
