An elderly relative purchased a subscription to the chicago tribune. The bills would list a “pay through” date. When the subsequent bill was received, the beginning date would be before the “pay through” date, e.G., she would pay through august 1, but the next bill would cover july 15 through september 30. When she wrote to cancel, the service representative would send a response e-mail that said they were sorry to see her go, but that they would continue service until they heard from her again. She wrote to cancel three times and had paid all the bills. The newspapers continued to come. Two months later, she received a bill for $7.00. Go figure. Also the tribune sent collections after her. Worse yet, her dead sister (at a different address) used to have a tribune account years ago. The dead sister suddenly began receiving bills for a non-existent paper delivery. I’m pretty sure she’s not going to pay. Also, there is no tribune in heaven. Only in h*ll.

Everyone that posts a headline, or begins an article oh Yahoo, completes the article. The Chicago Tribune starts the article, THEN, when one clicks on the “Read More” link to finish what was written, gets slammed with a subscription link. To me this is nothing but an on-line scam to get people to subscribe to the newspaper. In my eyes this is despicable. WHY even do this? Is this how desperate you are for people to subscribe to your newspaper? Give a little tease, little taste, then pull it away? THIS, is one of the reasons I don’t subscribe to you paper. Bottom line, it’s all about the money, the number one God in the eyes of the Tribune. I guess you need extra money to pay for the expensive contracts you’re giving out to the Cubs players.

Having delivery problems again today Sunday 5/26 did not receive the Sunday paper. I have called and talked to Nick. This is the 3rd time I have talked to him about not getting the Sunday paper. I got it the last 2 s undays It seems to me that whoever is delivery the paper is not doing the job. I wanted to cancel but once again Nick assured me it would be taken care of and paper would come today. its 6pm. No paper. If the paper cannot come by 8 am on Sundays. I want to cancel. Seems it’s a major problem getting service in this area. I’m spending money and not getting service. This has been going on since I subscribe for this service. I do not want it delivered on Mondays either. If their is no service for this area I should have been told. yet I’m still paying this and have missed 4 papers. between it’s an issue Sincerely Shereen kaufman

Hi: I’ve been a tribune subscriber a long time. If I dare say, that’s a lot longer than most all the tribune employees reading this complaint have been alive. I’ll start by saying i’m a white sox fan. That alone will make most tribune employees stop reading and hit the delete button. Here it comes! The first thing I read every morning is the tribune sports section. I’ve adjusted to the fact that the first 3 or 4 pages will have cubs information, good, bad or whatever. So I keep reading the more interesting items. Last sunday 8/4/2019 the white sox won a baseball game that I watched in the early afternoon and enjoyed very much. On monday morning 8/5/2019 I checked the tribune sport pages to read up on the victory but that didn’t happen. The mostly overzealous cub fans on the sports staff decided that the sox were not worthy of any type of print space in their sports section. Isn’t there some written or unwritten rule that a big named newspaper should have unbiased reporting of the news. I don’t car how biased the tribune is anywhere else in your newspaper but when you mess with the sports section it could mean war. Does anyone in that whole building ever review what is being put out to the public. I hate this continuous neglect of fans other than the cubs.

I am a senior citizen that has been reading the Chicago Tribune since I was a child. My father always read it. But now, even though I pay for delivery service to my house on Sunday, I only get it half the time, if that. I use to get it daily but I had the same issues. And when I call, I get the same answer as the rest of the complaints that I have just read. And you know people, I’ve come to the conclusion that your really don’t care one iota. How is it, people who worked there before, could preform so much better than the people that work there today. Why would the owners say they can deliver, when they can’t. It seems to me to be false advertising to even put that out there. I’m so disappointed in this newspaper. I know nothing will be done, but I just had to make myself feel better by letting someone know what a crappy job their doing.

I am getting fed up with the misdelivery of my paper on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. I am disabled and asked that my paper be delivered to the back door (right side rear). That was nine years ago. Since that time, sometimes it gets there, more often it doesn’t. I call and complain to customer service, and I get the same answer that they are sorry and will take care of it. This is an ongoing problem that has never been rectified since. I want this HANDLED!!

I have contacted both the telephone number and website that appears in the Chicago Tribune Local values flyer numerous times requesting to have my address removed from their distribution lists. They continue to delivery the stupid flyer in a plastic bag in my driveway. They used to put it the mailbox but stopped doing that for some reason. I DO NOT WANT YOUR GARBAGE FLYER!!! My address not provided on this complaint due to privacy issues.

I started a 4 day subscription beginning in May. Have not received the paper 5 times! I call and am promised delivery that day or the next day. Never happened! Wanted me to stay on for just Sun. (Why would I do that when they can’t deliver during the week). Their customer service is terrible! I canceled my subscription and will await my credit which is less than I feel I am entitled to but do not want to deal with them any longer!
Chicago Tribune Reviews & Complaints
I stopped having the tribune delivered to my house because it was always thrown on my driveway never near the door entrance rain snow or shine.I found that if I went to the gas station I could get the paper earlier and dry so it was readable. Then they stopped having as many papers to sell and I couldn’t always get it there. I then found out they sold the Tribune at Menards so I would go and shop there on Sunday morning and get my paper there. But for the last month when I would stop there at 8:am the papers are never delivered so I stopped going there. I tried the Speedway today on 79th and Harlem after 8am and guess what? the Paper was not delivered yet. So I came home. The business is supply and demand. I tried to patronize your paper and I cant and it, s not me. I guess I could get my news on the internet, Coupons? We can get those from apps on the phone. Local news ? I guess WGN. com can fill us in. The bottom line is I wouldn’t have to change if your service didn’t.
