      I have now made over 20 calls to Baltimore Sun to stop delivering the weekly free Sun Plus newspaper on Wednesdays. When I make the complaint they only stop for a month and then they resume delivering a paper I never subscribed for. These newspapers are trashing the neighborhood and clog the gutters and drains. They keep telling me that they have informed the distribution department but apparently they only keep the complaint for a short amount of time because they keep resuming delivery. I need for this to stop or I will escalate it to the local news and ************************

      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.

      I Have subscribed to the Baltimore Sun for for Wednesday and Sunday print paper delivery and e-paper access daily for the morning and evening edition. I don't recall the exact date of the start of service but it's been well over a year probably two.I have been able to read the paper online but I have yet to receive a single print paper. I have called the Sunpapers and sent emails complaining about this to no avail. They always apologize and say they will contact the delivery person and offer to resend the print paper the following day. Nothing ever happens. I'm getting charged on my credit card $16.89 including a "delivery cost" of $5.59 and sales tax of $0.64 every 3 months. I would like the Sunpapers to deliver the print paper to me as per the subscription contract. At this time, I consider this to be a scam. I am being charged for a product and a service that they have no intention of providing. I don't want any money back but I would expect the Sunpapers to comply with the agreement we made

      I did receive a call from the Baltimore Sun. They assured me I would start receiving the print paper immediately. As they have done multiple times. They also refunded my last payment for a three month subscription. I have yet to receive the print paper delivery. This is the primary issue. I'm not interested in refunds. I want my paper delivered as per subscription contract. I have called them again today about the missing paper from Sunday May 26th. I honestly don't think they know where my house is. They have my correct address but somehow they are unable to find it. They wouldn't tell me the name of the delivery person so I could check with them. We just keep going round and round and I never get any print papers delivered. It did occur to me that they think I'm in Baltimore County because ******* is in Baltimore County. The post Office is actually in ******** but that's a different issue. The ***** zip-code does include a small part of Harford County and that's where my house is located. I happen to know that houses located on ******************, less than a mile away do receive the print paper but that's ************************* *****. There has to be some logical explanation why they can't seem to deliver my paper. It's been over a year

      Just keeping you appraised of my ongoing complaint with The Baltimore Sun. I still have not received a single print newspaper delivery. As I have already reported to you no paper has been delivered since my subscription last year. I'm supposed to receive twice weekly print paper delivered to my home every Wednesday and Sunday. I have been contacting he Sunpapers by phone on a regular basis most recently today about these missing papers. They claim to be "looking into" the situation but so far no paper delivery for months.

      Thank you for your continued assistance in this matter. I have read the response letter dated 6/15/24 from the Baltimore Sun you forwarded me. This is essentially what they always tell me whenever I have called to complain about the failed delivery issue. I would like to reiterate that this is not a matter of a missing paper here and there. I have NEVER received a single print paper issue since my subscription last year. They have my correct address which they read back to me every time. I happen to know that my neighbors on **************** and Jarrettsville Pike receive the paper. My latest missing paper was yesterday's Sunday paper 6/16/24 and I dutifully called to complain. They assured me that my complaints had already been sent up to the circulation department for a resolution and that they would be sure to send me a replacement paper by end of day. I don't know about the circulation department but needless to say, I never got a replacement paper yesterday. I have to assume that these people are not deliberately lying when they tell me these things but there's clearly a breakdown somewhere between the newspaper offices and the person responsible for delivering the paper to my address. They refuse to give me the name and phone number of the delivery person so that I can enlighten them directly as to where to deliver the paper. In the meantime, I'll keep waiting for a miracle.

      I am happy to inform you that yesterday, Sunday 6/23/24, I finally received my first print copy of the Baltimore Sun. I'm hoping that this means the delivery people have finally figured out where I live and that this is only the first of continued deliveries from now on. I would like to thank you for your assistance in this matter. Multiple complaints over months went nowhere until you became involved. Thanks again

      For nearly two months, our newspaper has not been delivered, even though we have paid the bill sent by the Baltimore Sun. We have called the customer service number repeatedly to report non-delivery, and each time the newspaper staff says they will investigate, but we continue to have delivery issues. If this is a carrier issue, it needs to be resolved.

      On October 18, 2023, I paid a bill to the Baltimore Sun for $100.39. However our Sun Paper account was cancelled and when I inquired as to the reason, I was told that the check had not been received. I checked with *************** which said that in fact the check had been cashed by the Sun. Further inquiries found that the money had been mistakenly attributed to another account. I decided to continue my fiscal relationship with the Sun via a automatic system using **** and asked for the $100.39 refund. I have been told the same story at least three times: they recognize the error and the check has been processed, it will take six weeks to reach me; my case has been escalated and I will get a call within ***** business hours. This has never happened: no refund, no call. I even went to **** to get their help but after an hour of a run-around on the phone, the banker called it quits. I know this is not a huge amount of money but it irks me that they can treat a long time or any subscriber/customer in this way. I hope you can assist me and I thank you.

      The information you provided within this BBB Complaint, as well as your account, is continued to be reviewed at this time and proper course of action will be taken, if needed.  Thank you for speaking with me today regarding this matter. I have escalated this concern to the ****************** of which Accounts Payable will research the prior refund check as to why it was not received as it seems a refund check was processed on February 13, 2024 which had been  applied to your former cancelled account which is no longer valid since you have another subscription reflected in our system. Please ensure if any correspondence or checks are mailed to the Baltimore Sun to include your applicable account number associated with the payment. Your current active account is now on the automated EZ Payments so this would automatically be associated with your current subscription.  Another refund check will be mailed to your residence in the amount of $100.39 which will be received within the next ***** business days due to standard processing and mailing timetables.  Due to this circumstance, your request has been expedited for assistance.

      Once again, our sincere apologies and if you would like any further assistance please contact the Baltimore Sun at ************.

Paper was delivered on Feb.24, but no further papers have been received from Feb.25 through today, March 11th. Numerous apologies have been rec'd from Sun, over last 16 days, but to no avail. We have been receiving uninterrupted home delivery to this address for over 50 years, and are deeply disappointed by the inability to have this resolved.
