I thought I purchased one article in November 2023. I have been charged every month since then despite calling, emailing, and disputing through Amex. No one ever answers the phone. Emails bounce back. No way to cancel online. Absolute fraud.Review from Louis S

Rates increased from year to year, I stuck with it last year for $149. This year it jumped up to $263!!! with no advance notice or reminder!! That's a LOT for a retired person, especially at the end of the month. I called to complain, they're processing a refund. However, no refund seen after one week so called again, and it wasn't even noted! Started the refund process again, was told it will take 2-4 weeks. Then to actually CANCEL the subscription, I'll have to call again. Not Happy.Review from Minta W

I signed for a trial e-subscription. Cancellation has been a problem.Although the website and the recorded phone message states you can manage your subscription online - you cannot. You must call. When calling, you can select # for a call back- which does not come. This wastes your time and money which extends your subscription that you wanted cancelled. You can speak to a representative who does not live in the U.S. , and in this case did not understand my desire to cancel or reasoning for cancellation. After asking to cancel the e-subscription, the representative attempts to sell you three options so you will not cancel. I tried several RTD phone numbers, only to get recordings. I will encourage others not to subscribe to RTD due to poor communication and customer service. Questionable business practices. Disappointing for Richmond.Review from Todd H.

They tried to increase my price from the previous amount , by almost double... I rarely use their site as is, so decided to cancel.. To cancel you have NO CHOICE but to call them - and be ready to be placed on hold for 40 or so minutes...... Yes, this is the ONLY way to cancel - so be warned.......When they finally picked up, they agreed to the old price. ( I was stupid and agreed) here I am, 3 months down the road, and they are trying again to raise it almost double !!!I am currently on Hold, with their very annoying music playing, waiting for them to pick up...... eventually ... and yes, this time, I will say NO to them.What a waste of my day off, listening to Times Dispatch background music.....If you have NO plans on paying almost double what you are now............ Do NOT join them,,,this all feels like a scam ! I have NEVER been asked to call a number to cancel, then be placed on hold for almost an hour !!!!TERRIBLE !!!!!is this even legal???????Review from Thomas J

I have only received 1 paper in this 3 weeks and complained virtually daily. The customer service reps. tell me district manager will call me within 72 hours. I have not received a call from the district manager. After making an email complaint, I received a call from the regional manager called and said the delivery problem would be fixed. A week or two later, still no paper and no return calls from the paper despite my constant complaints. So my response is to stop doing automatic payments and tipping the carrier after 20 years of getting the newspaper. My second step is just keep complaining and let people know about the newspaper service and delivery problems.
