      Delivery Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      The Baltimore Sun does not have contractors who provide regular delivery service as is necessary to those of us who want our newspapers. For the past 5 issues due me, paid in advance, I have not received these papers. I have called and was given credit each time but the issue has not been resolved as promised. They claim to have elevated the complaint to a higher level but this still happens and I am angry about the fact that they tell me it will be solved and yet, this situation reoccurs or happens again. I cannot find out if I am the target or if others in my area have the same issue. I have been told to simply go to the digital issue but I do not wish to spend my time before a computer in this fashion. I paid for paper delivery 5 days per week and that is what I wish to have.

      In Febuary 2020 I was fooled into signing up for a "free trial'' subscription online digital news service, assuming it was a for a limited trial period. I recently discovered that the Baltimore Sun continued to charge my card $36.04 monthly for a service I never utilized. I can confidently state that was I totally unaware that that I was "Locking in" a monthly subscription. I contacted customer service who could only cancel my subscription, but not refund any monies already deducted from my account. I would have never believed that the Baltimore sun paper that I grew up with would employ what I can only call deceptive business practices, I feel duped.
