I you don't receive a paper and would like credit for the paper--it will not show up on your bill. The LA times suffers no penalty for failure to deliver. The credit they offer for failure to provide the service you pay for is for you to keep receiving papers at some distant future time when you cancel the paper because you no longer want it. This is why you don't get the papers you pay for--they have zero incentive to provide you the paper.

Early today I called to report no newspaper delivered. Called back later and told it would be delivered in 1 hr. Now, after waiting 2 hrs. called again and told no delivery today. Found out my subscription expires 12/9 and I will NOT be renewing it. Very disappointed in LA Times customer service.

Today is the third Sunday in the last six weeks without paper delivery. Additionally,there were two more weekdays without delivery in the same time frame. Try reaching a live voice with your concerns. If and when you do, the person is a robot lacking service skills,and the ability to address/solve your issue. After being a loyal Times customer for over thirty years, my patience has expired. Good bye Times.

We must have gottn a new Delvery person as for the last 3 days our newspaper has been left, not at our door (we're on the 2nd floor of a duplex upstairs) but at the bottom of the sidewalk near the street where anyone could pick it up. Please, if you're reading this, throw the paper up to 8828 Reading Avenue. We're an elderly couple and walking down the flight of stairs at 6 a.m. isn't our habit and I've gotten the paper for many years!! Hopefully the delivery guy is on vacation!!

I tried calling all the numbers on the website but all the numbers are having trouble (perhaps because they're moving to ElSegundo?) I tried 800-252-9141, 213-283-2274 & last but not least 213-237-3464.

Happy Summer and I'll try again to call in the morning.
