CHICAGO TRIBUNE
January 24, 2011
Home delivery
The Chicago Tribune sends teen kids door to door to sell the newspapers and scams the customers. The kids tell them that all the money is going for a scholarship fund, when in fact IT IS NOT. They do have a very small scholarship fund, but it is a very very small amount. The kids selling these news subscriptions door to door are now driving BRAND NEW CARS, VACATIONING and PARTYING on the money that we the customers think is going for college. If you truly want the paper then go ahead and purchase it, but NEVER think that your money is going for a good cause.

delivery problem
Not only can't they get my newspaper to me, when I called to cancel my subscription the phone rep kept giving excuses rather than just following my request to cancel. Won't be long until they're in bancruptcy again.

home delivery
I subscribed to a home delivery special, but when I tried to cancel the papers continue to come. Two Letters and two emails later I was told that you can't unsub by mail and before they would cancel me by email I had to give them a specific reason. They have cancelled me but want me to pay for the weeks that they refused to cancel.

TV Guide switch
The Chicago Tribune has finally entered the arena of "dirty tricks" to try and increase their sales. Now they're switching the TV Guide insert to Saturday making people have to buy not only the Sunday issue but the Saturday one as well with some kind of ridiculous excuse that a blind man can see through.
I for one am not going to buy the Saturday issue but am cancelling my Sunday subscription as well.

Newspaper delivery
The tribune is outsourced to deliver newspapers for the suntimes as well as their own paper. The delivery person assigned to bring my three papers everyday is lazy and no good and skips my house whenever she feels like it, they say someone must be stealing the paper. I lose sleep every day waking up too early to make sure I get my paper. The only days I don't get it she doesn't bring it, I have come right out after watching the paper tossed only to find that all my papers were not delivered and they refuse to hold their lazy employee responsible. I have had to chase her down and ask about my paper and she says she doesn't have it. This company sucks and they know it, this is why readership is down.

Collected money twice!
One evening I had 2 teenagers with credentials come to my house asking for donations of $15 towards "The Good Shepard Nursing Home" for those needy people to be there and can't afford there stay. Chicago Tribune had some kind of assistance of a kind of match in donations and as a thank you (supposedly) the donator would receive a 3 month subscription. Then for my surprise a few months later I get a collection bill for $16. Here it is a brutal SCAM (the stronger ones against the little ones). Be aware!!! Don't allow to happen to you. I've learned my lesson the hard way when I was just ready to help the needy.
