the antisemitism which runs rampant on your pages.

• The Coronavirus Pandemic: Israel Is America's Friend in Deed - Dr. Frank Musmar
The Israeli drug giant Teva has announced that 6 million doses of hydroxychloroquine will be delivered to U.S. hospitals by March 31. Teva indicated that it will do everything possible to accelerate production of hydroxychloroquine and also conduct research to see if, in its vast catalog of 3, 500 drugs, others can be used to fight coronavirus. Another Israeli drug cited as possibly helpful is remdesivir, an experimental antiviral from Gilead Sciences. The writer is a financial and performance management specialist and a non-resident associate at the BESA Center. (Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies-Bar-Ilan University)

But you slander Israel every chance you get and protect Palestinians, who murder as a matter of their culture. You complained about Palestinian curfew when it was needed to stop the Palestinians from killing Israelis.
Retractions on back pages do not make up for the evil you perpetrate.

deceptive marketing practices, terrible customer support

I signed up to get Sunday delivery of the New York Times as a Christmas present for my stepfather in December of 2019. It was on an introductory rate of $1.66 every two weeks for 52 weeks. This "deal" also included multiple complimentary digital subscriptions. I opened a digital subscription and began enjoying receiving NYT news in anticipation of also receiving the Sunday paper at our home. The paper never arrived. When I checked the account, delivery had been suspended (with no explanation), as of the week I activated the subscription. I called customer care and after several tries got through to someone who said they would fix the issue. Lie. Several weeks went by and the paper was never delivered. Finally, I learned that the delivery was suspended because the NYT did not have a local delivery partner. I decided to keep the digital subscription part of the offer. Two months later, I am locked out of my digital news access and being "upsold" on a digital subcription. Instead of $1.66 every two weeks for the rest of the introductory period, the Times wants me to spend $2 every week for digital access only. I chatted with a rep who said that he fixed the problem. And my account worked for a day and then I was locked out again with a subscription upgrade demand. I chatted with several customer care reps and no one was even willing to admit that the company should have honored at least part of it's advertised subscription special. I kept getting upsold as if no one even read the chat transcript. I finally told them to cancel the digital subscription and stop billing my credit card. The New York Times should know that it's bad business not to deliver what you promise. Advertising home delivery to get people signed up for digital access and then upselling them before the end of the introductory period is deceptive and aggravating. I have plenty of free news apps on my phone: CNN, Fox, AP... why should I pay for a service that is expensive and doesn't deliver.

The New York Times Company — sunday jan 12, 2020 paper delivery

I received my Sunday paper, but it was missing my Travel, Arts & Leisure and Book Review sections. Cathy in North Carolina took my complaint and promised me they would be delivered by 2 p.m. I left the house and 1. When I returned last night, nothing was delivered. This morning I called and talked to an exceptionally unhelpful Elvin in your central Florida office. He could offer me only a credit. I do not want a credit. I want the sections shipped to me.

The New York Times Company — late paper delivery again

our paper, despite multiple complaints, continues to be delivered late at least once a week. Our address is: 2110 E. Hamlin st. Seattle WA 98112. Please tell the delivery person AGAIN that it is to be delivered by 5:30am on week days, 7:30am on weekends. We are off to work after 6:30am, so a late paper is of no use to us. Its now 6:45am, Friday, Jan 10, 2020, and again, no paper is here.

We love the Times. Just wish we could read it every day.

The New York Times Company — ny times subscription rate increase

I subscribed at a fixed rate of $12.50 through July 2020. On 12/1 I was charged $12.63 without notification or explanation. On 12/2, I spent 53 minutes on the phone with Theresa who was unable to explain the 13 cent increase and said she would send a ticket to correct the issue which could take up to 72 hours. I have yet to hear back from anyone. This service is unacceptable.

The New York Times Company — printing lies

when are you people going to bend over, push as hard as you can to fart and blow your heads outta your butts? The constant virtue signalling and lies your editors have been pushing for 4 years has made us STOP offering your propaganda stste news paper from ALL OUR STORES, your inability to hold your editors accountable for the lies they print is almost as disgusting as how your paper bends over backwards to accomadate their lies and complete the crap YOU PRINT DAILY, we will never allow your propaganda paper into our stores again and we will be lobbying and continue to lobby our COUNTRY to ban your propaganda publication permanently! You are your editorial board are doing this to yourselves and the sooner the New York Times is bankrupt and forced out of the news buisness the sooner this planet will be a much MUCH better place to live and watch/read news!

The New York Times Company — lousy service from "customer care" via [protected]@nytimes.com

I'll not be renewing my subscription to the NYT. What follows is the email exchange that took place. Please note that I never indicate that I want to cancel my subscription. I only plan to not renew it - a big difference - as I intended to use it until it ran out on December 22, 2019.

Hello,

I have a subscription to the NYT that is scheduled to renew on December 22, 2019. I don't plan to renew as it's too expensive for me to continue. My name is Dwayne Stevenson and my subscription number is [protected].

As there is nothing in my NYT account settings that enables me to click "do not renew", I'd like my account to NOT renew as of December 22.

I intend to use my subscription until it runs out December 22.

Please let me know what else must be done to ensure that the subscription does not renew.

Many thanks,
Dwayne Stevenson

Hello Dwayne.

I am sorry to hear about this inconvenience, the reason your subscription was cancelled was due to you sending us an email indicating you did not wish to continue your subscription's auto renewal, it should not have been cancelled though, and no worries, we will provide you with a promotional rate to your All Access subscription, it will be at $10.00 / 4 weeks for the next 52 weeks.

Due to us needing to send you a Secured Form, to reactivate your subscription directly with this promotional rate to that same email.

We will need you to contact us via chat or SMS messaging. Please chat with us at https://myaccount.nytimes.com/seg/cancel, text us at [protected]. And inform them of this email I have sent you.

Chat with you soon,

Your NYT Account Specialist.

Why has the NYT cancelled my subscription after I specifically indicated I intended to use it until its expiration date (December 22)?! I have more than a month left on my subscription! I merely requested information about how to keep my subscription from renewing automatically on that date.

Reinstate my subscription until December 22 or you will have guaranteed that I will never, ever again purchase a NYT subscription!

So you admit that my subscription should not have been cancelled, that it was the NYT at fault, but instead of reinstating it, you're content to leave it cancelled? But you're also expecting that I should pay for a new one when I still have nearly seven weeks of my subscription owed to me? WTF?! Is there actually anyone at the NYT who knows anything about customer service? Why have I not heard from that person?

Hello Hidequel! I love the faux enthusiasm of your greeting! Like we're old friends! This is so great!

Oh, dear. I'm afraid I can't thank you for providing the minimum of what I'm owed, i.e., the value of the remaining time of my NYT subscription. That is the very least that should be done, is it not?

Oh well, tut tut. But I will thank you - as well as your team - for ensuring that I will never again subscribe to the NYT. Well done! Really, you people worked overtime it seems to snatch a crappy experience from the jaws of good customer service. And how was that done? By simply refusing to respond to my concerns! What was important, at least to "customer care, " was trying to shove an unwanted NYT renewal down my figurative throat!

Thank you, too, for uncovering the deep-seated and real reason for this entire spectacle de merde (almost like an investigative journalist!), i.e., that being that I didn't respond within seven days to an unsolicited, completely irrelevant offer from the NYT! That entire solicitation indicated that my original email was never read. And if read, not understood. Literacy is a minimal requirement at the NYT, is it not? And never mind that nowhere in my original email to [protected]@nytimes.com is the word cancel or cancellation of my subscription mentioned! Nor is there any indication that I wanted to renew - at any price! No! The NYT indicated cancellation of my subscription if I didn't respond in seven days! Wow! All because I wanted information about non-renewal of my subscription! How wonderfully convenient to blame me. Why not just tell me that I should never have sent an email to [protected]@nytimes.com seeking information? Because, you know, it's not like anyone reads them or anything!

With all due respect, H (Wow! It's almost like we're really friends!), take a hike!

Respectfully,
ds

The New York Times Company — advertising on a paid subscription

I've had a subscription with NYT for several years through Apple App Store. All sections are littered with little annoying boxes, which for the most part I ignore. But I succumbed to one for a pair of Orthopaedic socks. The moment I paid for the item, my bank account was drained of $1349.00 AUD. I had to block my credit card and I've turned the matter over to the company's fraud department.
1. I don't want advertising on my paid subscription. How do I get rid of it without cancelling my subscription?
2. I don't have this problem with the Washington Post.

The New York Times Company — subscription charge

Starting in May of this year I started receiving two subscription charges each month. When I contacted nytimes customer service concerning this, I was told that they could only see one charge and that I would have to contact my bank. When that didn't work I contacted nytimes customer service again and had a repetitive and tedious back and forth over email where their customer service basically stated that it wasn't their fault because they didn't see two charges. They have not offered to check my payment info once. I am currently a full time college student and work full time to make ends meet, and the customer service for this company demonstrates no compassion or care for the treatment of their customers.

The New York Times Company — concern about cartoon in international edition that is clearly anti-semitic.

I am a weekly subscriber to The New York Times. In my opinion, It is not enough to apologize for mistaken judgment on printing it. What must the person responsible for its printing have thought would be accomplished by doing so? Apart from it's clearly not being accurate, what sentiment would have prompted such an anti-Semitic expression? Is this a reflection of the editorial policy or sentiments behind the opinion page of this paper? It reminds me of another time and another country where propaganda did not hesitate to be used to inflame the public.

home delivery /new york times paper

We live in Glastonbury CT and are subscribers for more than 40 years.
Delivery issue started about 5 years ago has escalated from occasional missed delivery to consistent problem. Deterioration has infected other services as well, customer service, web site . Digital edition of paper is very cumbersome to read, frustrating just have to give up . Complaints submitted through e mail and website link never get response.
This month on an average incidence of missed delivery is about3 to 4 week. Lt is my understanding Wall Street journal and Guardian are delivered by same delivery person.New York times organization was stellar in all in all it, s aspects . Feel sad this company is acting like all other utility companies such as Verizon, sprint, cable and other technology companies, customers buy harassment instead of service. With dismantling of all regulations there is no reason to hope.

    I am quite annoyed that the digital version, which I pay for, now constantly nags me to turn off Ghostery and AdBlock PLus so advertisers can annoy me. I use Ghostery and AdBlock Plus so I do not see ads when I am on a website. When I pay to use the website, I think it is stupid of you to ask that I stop using these applications. If you want ads to be unblocked, then don't charge for an electronic subscription; if you want people to pay for an electronic subscription, do not ask them to allow advertising. ONE OR THE OTHER.

    Of course if NYT changes the coding of its nag, you will have to update the filter. Get a techie to help.

New York Times Home Delivery — Daily delivery

Home delivery cancellation

It is real shame, I have been a subscriber of The Times for many, many years. I am moving out of the USA and wanted to cancel my home delivery subscription. They certainly go out of their way to make it difficult and frustrating. For two days, I have been calling. The first day, I waited on the phone with a very annoying music for 22 minutes and finally gave up, I called again pretending to want a new subscription this time and I got a representative in less than 3 minutes. I told them I wanted to cancel and how upset I was to be put on hold forever and she told me she will ask a rep from the cancellation department to call me. They never did. The second day the same story again. I waited for 18 minutes with the same annoying music. Finally somebody answered and I was very upset so she finally cancelled the service for me. On the other hand, when I called the Wall Street Journal, it took less than 5 minutes to cancel my service and the same with my local Palm Beach Post. Shame on you NY times. I had a good image of you for years but you erased that with your lousy customer service and your tactics to make it so difficult to cancel a subscription. Never again.

New York Times Home Delivery — home delivery is terrible

New York TImes newspaper — never been delivered

I am a new subscriber to this newspaper and paid for Friday-Sunday delivery. The first day, my paper never arrived and when I called, it was too late for delivery. The second day I had to call and did not receive a paper until noon that day. Yesterday and today, the same, no paper. I did call early enough today and was promised a paper by 2:30 PM- really, a morning paper in the afternoon?? It never arrived. Twice the NY TImes messaged my local delivery person and their supervisor. Still no paper. When I called my local paper, the Contra Costa TImes, they stated that they were unable to help. Take about passing the buck.

NEW YORK TIMES DIGITAL SUBSCRIPTION — Early billing

Be aware when subscribing to the New York Times digital service:
I subscribed for the digital service for my IPAD and it was suppose to be $1 for 30 days, 20 days later they bill me $21 when I called to cancelled because I work and don't have time the read all the news before every update, the digital service is not like the paper replica which I wanted to switch to but I was told that I will not get a refund even though I was still in the $1 for 30 days, these companies want to make money at any cost and deceiving people is the best way they could.

consistent non-delivery

Isn't it amazing: that the great, venerated, heralded, exalted new york times manages to deliver saturday/sunday editions to its 7-day-a-week subscribers — but not to it's weekenders only?

For weeks, my newspaper on saturday/sunday has not been delivered. I have had to call to get replacement delivery. Half of the time, the replacement is never delivered. But: my immediate neighbors who are 7-dayers get their papers like clockwork.

Each week that I call, I get one of the following recorded excuses:
A) the paper is delayed due to weather (always when it is dry and sunny).
B) the carrier is en route. They never are.
C) the carrier is delayed (duh...!)
D) the carrier is "experiencing car trouble".

But today's took the cake:

'you will not be receiving delivery of your newspaper due to production difficulties. Your complaint is noted "But: these same" production difficulties" did not bar my 7-dayer neighbors from getting their papers!

I wa spromised re-delivery by 12:30.

Of course, as usual, it did not happen.

I called for a credit after spending $2.00 to buy the paper. I was given $1.32 in credit.

When I call, I either get your usual illiterate, cookaracha/bongo type of phone monkeys, or someone articulate but both blatantly dishonest and nasty.

We need to put a stop to this.

    If you ever intend on cancellation your subscription be prepared. You cannot do it online, even as a registered user with a fully accessible account that allows you to do absolutely everything else. You must call, be transferred twice, then wait fifteen minutes. A terrible paper right up to the bitter end.

    Easy to get into impossible to get out, wait ten minutes for operator, they take email address then put you on permanent hold.
    Unprofessional. I would never subscribe or buy their product again.

    No paper for the last five delivery days. I've called. I've submitted a complaint online. They simply seem to be unable to fix the problem.

New York Times Home Delivery — Ripped Off

I called to have my subscription ended on the date that was the end of my billed period. They chose to put a new date on it, so that I was billed automatically to my credit card. They billed me for the full 2 months (even though the date they picked for stopping it would have involved three papers only). I called back and they said it would be refunded to my credit card within 30 days. Guess what? 30 days has long ago come and gone and no refund. I called and emailed and they said it was in processing. I finally filed a com;laint with the Better Business Bureau the other day. Isn't it interesting that they could find my credit card number to charge it - always in advance of the service - but can't seem to be able to refund it?

I used to think this was a reputable organization, but this experience has taught me that they are in the business to take your money, even for a service you neither want nor that they provided. Whatever you do, don't subscribe to the NYT if you think you might EVER want to stop!!!

    Sirs

    I have been a subscriber to your home delivery service for many, many years. I started when we lived in a private home in Wantagh, Long Island and continued when we moved to an apartment on Roosevelt Island in New York. The paper was always delivered to our front door, true "home delivery". My wife and I recently moved to an Assisted Living Facility in New York City called The Village at 46th and Ten and continued the home delivery subscription at the same price. Unfortunately, the serivice is not the same. The paper is delivered to the front desk, not to our door. This means that one of us has to get fully dressed and go down to get the paper. This is not exactly "home delivery". Where we lived on Roosevelt Island, there were a lot more apartments and, I am sure, a lot more subscribers. Here, there are not that many subscribers and I am wondering why we cannot get the paper delivered to our door. I am seriously cnsidering cancelling the subscription.

    So, I guess they just don't care about home delivery, which is hard to believe in these hard times for print media. I got a promo rate for weekend delivery for 12 weeks-$13.20, started in Oct. They delivered only 1 paper to date 12/28th, even after many calls to them. So today I finally talked to a supervisor who said that the promotion I had was over so she could only deliver at that price for the rest of the time on it FIVE weeks not 12!
    And she gave me the promo they offer now---50% off for 12 weeks...big difference. Like a fool I took it, but I am so unhappy with the way this was handled I will have to cancel that. Can't deal with a company who cannot honor their commitments. THEY were the ones that broke our contract and refuse to make good on it, but they will not make good on it. Great paper, bad delivery, bad customer service, fraudulent business practices. Will call and cancel that and write to BBB. THR
