    Late in the evening on 10/25 I went online to cancel my Post and Courier subscription renewal which was due on 10/26. There was no place online allowing me to cancel the renewal. I tried calling but the office was closed. Early the next day, on 10/26, I tried again online and there was still no place to cancel the renewal. I started calling and emailing early AM on 10/26. I finally got through to someone around 3:30 in the afternoon and explained my situation and she cancelled it for me. (Email attached) However, a $155 renewal charge was put on my AX and has never been refunded. I emailed The Post and Courier asking about the reversal of the charge and I never received a response. I tried calling again and left another message. I made numerous attempts to get through to someone who could help me reverse the renewal charge but could never get through. I finally got through to Demetrius on 11/2. He told me the reversal of the $155 was non refundable and it would have to be approved by a customer service supervisor named Mrs. Seels and he would email her and she would respond to me within 24-48 hours. I asked him to CC me on the email. (Email attached) I also followed up by sending Mrs. Seels an email. It is now twelve days later and I still have not received any response from anyone at The Post and Courier and the $155 charge is still on my AX. The Post and Courier made it impossible for me to choose not to renew their subscription by not having a place on my account allowing me to cancel and by not responding to my calls & emails. They will claim that I didn't cancel until 10/26 but that is when I started trying to cancel with them by phone due to my lack of ability to do it online on 10/25. Even on 10/26, there was no place online in my account for me to cancel, that's why it had to be cancelled by phone by one of their reps. How was I supposed to cancel when there was no avenue to do so? Please help me get my $155 refunded to my AX. Thank you.

    My husband and I have been subscribers to The Post and Courier for years. Unfortunately, we no longer receive consistent delivery and our attempts to get in touch with someone who will address our issue is basically impossible. We have both called repeatedly only to be met with, "Oh, sorry you didn't receive your paper. We will send someone back out right away" and they rarely do. Or, "We will have our Circulation Manager call you" and we never hear from anyone. And the representative at the call center actually hung up on my husband yesterday! (Yes, he was being polite). One would think with the difficulties papers are having staying afloat that they would do everything in their power to retain their long-time faithful, customers. We also understand how challenging it is for companies to find reliable help but it would be nice if someone in management could simply pick up the phone and explain this to us and let us know that they are at least aware of and working on the problem. And to rub salt in the wound, we just received our Post and Courier bill and the subscription rate has increased! So, we are expected to pay more for an already overpriced service with inconsistent delivery and absolutely zero customer service? Though we would love to continue supporting local journalism, we simply have had enough!
