Review of The Indianapolis Star

Avoid! A nice gentleman came to my door promoting IndyStar subscriptions and normally I would tell any solicitor I'm not interested, but he informed me that I could receive the paper at a promo price and it would help fund his education. He said I can cancel it after a month and I wouldn't be charged. Normally I don't read the paper and I receive a majority of my news online, but I thought 'why not' since newspapers are kind of dying out and he assured me that he would deliver my paper. After two weeks had gone by I still did not see a single one, so naturally I thought maybe it took some time to get me into the system and the papers would start coming to my doorstep. Roughly three weeks later I was contacted by the IndyStar to pay up and I kindly explained to them that I never received the paper, but I also explained that I was in a promotional period that wasn't suppose to cost me. I told them to cancel my subscription and that I was moving soon anyway (which I explained to the man at the door). They persisted and told me I could have it delivered out-of-state. Again, I explained that I'm not interested. I'm still receiving calls and mail asking me to subscribe again. WHY would I subscribe to a newspaper that is never delivered? Clearly I'm not the only person that's had this issue. UPDATE: Immediately after my review I received a letter in the mail and a phone call once again asking me to subscribe!!! They're now disguising their phone number. LEAVE ME ALONE!!!
