Non-delivery of Herald Sun Newspaper
- - Paper not rolled and not secured with a rubber band.
- - Two days of non-delivery; today on the nature strip.
- - Advise driver and credit my account.
Paper is not being rolled and secured with a rubber band. Non delivery two days in a row and today my paper on nature strip two doors down.
It is possible the others were blown away with the wind. Nobody can throw an unwrapped paper from a car. Please advise driver and credit my account.
It is not the first time I have had this problem. Legally delivery can only be made if delivered to address, not to footpath or road.
User's recommendation: Don't buy or have paper delivered. They don't care about subscribers.

Non delivery of herald sun AGAIN!!!!!!
- - Delivery has been unreliable and papers often don’t arrive.
- - Long-time customers say changes may be cost cutting and reduce service.
Once again our newspaper hasnt been delivered and once again I dont expect a reply from you. You treat your customers with complete disdain.
When the local newsagent delivered our paper, on the rare occasion it didnt arrive I would ring them and they would bring one to us. Now I cant get through to anyone on the phone. We have been having our paper delivered for over fifty years and have been happy with the service until you changed your method of delivery, probably for cost cutting reasons. Youre still happy to take our money though even though we frequently dont get our paper.
We got better service when it was delivered by a young boy on his bike. Im going to write a letter to Your Say in the Herald Sun to see what other readers think but I betting wont be published.

Disappointment In dumbed Down Puzzles For Seniors.
- - Puzzle quality down; removal of elder-friendly puzzles and the Saturday anagram.
- - Suggest separate puzzle sections for children and older folk.
We are subscribers to the Herald Sun and are continually disappointed in the lack of quality puzzles and removal of puzzles that were of benefit to elder folk for assisting cognitive issues.
The weekend paper, specifically the Sunday issue offers a word find in the children's section with an outcome but the normal word find does not, it is all about an inane search for words with no purpose.
The removal of the Saturday anagram puzzle, the name of which escapes me, that allowed for working out the anagram of each word to then place in the grid is sorely missed and this dumbing down of mind games that are helpful for so many of a certain age is very concerning.
One would think that we, the subscribers, would be the ones that should benefit the most from a puzzle page to allow for my wife or myself in our retirement to find help from puzzle pages because they are actually very useful in keeping minds healthy and active.
My suggestion is that there ought to be a children's puzzle section purely for them and another for the older folk who probably need it more.

Verified ReviewerNon delivery
The reviewer tried to contact the company before posting this review.
- - Delivery last week arrived between nine and ten am.
- - It used to arrive around 5:30 am and was reliable.
- - The paper is thrown on the footpath.
One paper last week. It used to come about 5.30am but now its coming between nine and ten am and thrown on the footpath. We have been getting the paper delivered for many years, have hardly ever had a problem before.
Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered
Continual non delivery of paper
- - Weekend paper has not been delivered since June 2021; reports via auto service show no resolution or updates.
we are very annoyed that our weekend (Saturday and Sunday) papers have not been delivered again this weekend. I report the non delivery on your automatic answering service an every time I receive the message that you will investigate.
Nothing ever happens we never are told that you have investigated and still go without the paper. The delivery service early on with our first non delivery in June 2021 sent a message written on the next paper that was delivered to us said " we never do not deliver your paper" the non delivery must of happened 20 times since that first non delivery. We have never been contacted from your organisation and are now in the position that we must seriously consider the cancellation of the delivery of the paper. We have just paid another months subscription and are not sure if we will get a refund when we do send our request for cancellation.
Please advise. My name is Graham Arvidson our address is 61 Kars Street Frankston 3199.
User's recommendation: delivery is the key to be satisfied- we have found that the follow up to complaints about delivery by thecompany is poor.
