So far, so good. The Hindu is working on building a stronger response system and taking steps to address most of the complaints. While there's room for growth, their efforts show a positive trend in customer support. We hope The Hindu will keep up the work and continue to help more customers with their concerns even better 🤝

non delivery of newspaper since subscription

It is really disappointing to see that no step had been taken to send the news paper to us even after reminding and complaining about it many times. You desperately made calls to receive the subscription but never bothered to send the paper. It is almost 50 days since the subscription is collected from us. I think this should be taken to the knowledge of the consumers for cheating the subscribers.

This is with reference to my complaint lodged with you ref no a137437 / subscriber id - [protected].

non delivery of hindu newspaper even after repeated complaints

We have renewed our subscription for a year in september 2017 under your 50% off offer. We have been receiving the newspaper till january 10th 2018 and suddenly the delivery was stopped and the reason stated is “expiry of the subscription”.

Even after repeated complaints there is no one to look into the matter and resolve the issue. Should we call this another way of cheating the customers and making money in the name of...

delivery of news paper

My complaints on non delivery of news paper, registered on six occasions, have remained unattended and unanswered.

It is not surprising that you have a customer satisfaction rating of only 2%. With your don't care attitude for your customers, the days are not far when you will down to a big 0%.

Though you have not bothered to call back or mail me, i understand that you have issues regarding my payment. If it...

delivery

This is in continuation to my previous three complaints of non delivery of the hindu, news paper.

This evening i received a call from your area agent to submit proof of making the annual subscription. This demand from your office is definitely absurd, expecting your customer to submit proof. Please let me know the purpose of your having local agent and an area in charge. It is your duty to obtain this proof from them and not...

annual subscription for the hindu

I am registering my complaint for a third time, for non delivery of the hindu newspaper.

Inspite of the numerous calls to your office and to the agent, there appears to be no serious concern about a customer complaint.

Today i was informed that they are verifying my payment and even after two days they are yet to receive the confirmation from the finance group.

I have paid my subscription on...

online subscription not updated at your end

Address: 560004

I am nagamani bhaskar. I took online subscription for the hindu for one year nearly 3 months back (It was renewal). Till date the same is not updated at your end. I haven't received the bag also which was on offer. Does it take 3 months for renewal. I am afraid of the services and may have to alert my friends on social media like facebook, whatsapp, apart from claiming refund of money.
