Re:Missing paper dated Saturday April 5,2025.I called to report. Usually i have no problem in spite of the missing is delivered the next morning.

This time the replacement paper was delivered the next day Sunday. 4-6-25, however it was the Sunday Mar. 30,25 edition. I certainly don't want the 4-5-25 paper now, in event you would deliver that, this is simply a notification that when a paper was un delivered, reported and the correction of the situation was done in this manner.

If possible when a paper not delivered on specific day, it would be nice to re-deliver on same day it went undelivered...yesterday news really undesired. Thank you.

I have yet to receive the Sunday OC Register that I was charged for a month ago. Every week when I call their customer service they apologize and promise the paper would be here Sunday.

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology.

Original review Jan 23, 2023

Account name: Hike Pollem

Address: 224 Avenida Majorca, Unit B, Laguna Woods, CA 92637

Three weeks ago, I called to resume our subscription to the Laguna Woods Globe.

We have yet to receive the paper.

I have called twice, been kept on hold 15+ minutes each time, and been told the paper would be delivered. Since we didn't receive the Saturday edition of the Register this weekend, I need to confirm that we will receive the Globe on Thursday!

Hopefully, this message will get to the right people and the delivery will resume!

I TOLD THEM ON JAN. 23RD TO CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION!

AFTER WAITING ON HOLD FOR ALMOST 45 MINUTES & WAITING OVER 30 MINUTES THE 2ND ATTEMPT & LISTENING OVER & OVER TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT STATING I COULD GO ONLINE TO MANAGE MY SUBSCRIPTION WHICH IS FALSE IF YOU WANT TO CANCEL, I FINALLY GOT THROUGH TO "SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES". WHEN I EXPLAINED THAT I WANTED TO CANCEL, OF COURSE THE AGENT TRIED TO GET ME TO CONTINUE MY SUBSCRIPTION BY OFFERING A 25% DISCOUNT.

WHEN I SAID "NO, I WANT TO CANCEL", HE SAID "OH, I HAVE TO TRANSFER YOUR CALL TO THE CANCELLATION DEPT"!

OF COURSE, THIS WAS JUST ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO GET ME TO HANG UP THE PHONE IN FRUSTRATION. I WAITED AT LEAST 10 MINUTES & FINALLY GOT ANOTHER GUY WHO OFFERED ME A 50% DISCOUNT. WHEN I REPEATED "NO, I WANT TO CANCEL", HE SAID "OK, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL BE CANCELLED AT THE END OF YOUR CURRENT DATE OF JANUARY 30, 2023". FINE & GOOD & DONE.

TODAY [JAN.

28TH], GUESS WHAT I SEE ON MY VISA CARD; A NEW CHARGE OF $79.15 FOR THE NEXT SUBSCRIPTION TERM.

YOUR ATTEMPT TO KEEP ME AS A CUSTOMER HAS FAILED --- PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION #17022**** AND SEND ME A CONFIRMATION. I HATE YOUR ATTEMPTS TO KEEP LONG-TERM SUBSCRIBERS LIKE ME IN THE 'DEAD END LOOP' OF NEVER BEING ABLE TO CANCEL -- THE LAST PERSON I SPOKE TO PROBABLY JUST TOSSED OUT MY CANCELLATION REQUEST SO HE COULD GET HIS "COMMISSION" FOR KEEPING A CUSTOMER!

I AM TELLING ALL MY FRIENDS & FAMILY TO NEVER SUBSCRIBE BECAUSE OF YOUR POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE WHEN YOU WANT TO CANCEL.

Unresolved issue with no delivery today.

Our paper was not delivered today. Customer service representative told us the computer system at the Register is being updated so to call back later today.

He couldnt retrieve my account info. No resolution!

Not been receiving my on-line newspaper for some time now. When I noticed a charge on my bank statement I called the Customer Service number and I was told that I was supposed to go into the website.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I am being charged for something I did not get.

In the past I had been receiving my Register Newspaper in my email, which the Register has on file. I have not received my on-line edition for some time.

Today when checking my bank account iI see I am being charged for something I am not getting. When I called customer service they told me I was supposed to go to the Web to do something to ask for the Register to go back on line, I am 80 years old and I do not understand what is going on. How was I supposed to know? I have called the Register and asked them to remove the charges for the last months, at least two or three.

They said they were trying to protect me from being on the web. What is going on. I refuse to pay for being protected. This seems like a scam to me.

Very unhappyBe careful in dealing with the Orange County Register. /seems like they are scamming the elderly?
