I began to reassess this cost as I'm on a fixed budget (who isn't these days?!) So I decided to take it 3 days a week for $71.50. Mind you? That was early 2016. One year later, they increased the price 20%. Okay. But today I received their latest bill for ANOTHER 25% increase...Where will it end? -And FOR WHAT? No. I'm DONE here after almost 35 years. Simply DONE. I'll get the local news via another source (not a fan of online) AND? I'll take the WSJ up on their offer of 6 months for $99. You'd think a local community newspaper would have a senior discount but far beyond this? You'd THINK they'd "get" that 45% increase inside of one year for their partial subscription IS "highway robbery" at it's finest. Guess not. Pity.

Well I am sorry to write this as I hate to complain. When something is wrong with a service, there…read moreis usually a reason and I always want to give a business person the advantage. However, I too feel embarrassed to have any info about my business in this publication. The person who sold this ad to me quit months ago and I should have been aware of wrong doing then. There is just not much good I can say about the whole process. My ad turned up at the second to last page of the directory in the wedding guide section instead of in the jewelry section. I wish I hadn't paid the second payment to them. Just another example of a bad job done...also, under Jewelers Repair is a listing for Books Half Price! Whew! I hope someone will find us in the wedding section but I am not holding my breath.

I am embarrassed to be associated with the company and the owner Kevin Tisdale. He was 6 months late in printing his most recent publication, to a community that received a competitors publication on-time and when promised. I am convinced that he is so accustomed to receiving negative feedback regarding his complete lack of follow-through that it just rolls off his back. I wish I would have researched him prior to handing over a check; lesson learned. Never do business with Golden Guides Directories, Inc. or Kevin Tisdale.

This newspaper is grossly overpriced for the paper they print and deliver…read more We took out the 12 weeks for $18 and a week before the 12 weeks was up we waited 2 1/2 hours trying for three time just to get them to pick up the phone for the bogus high call volume line no matter what time of the day you call..Simple answer is get more help because your understaffed and thats probably why you call volume is high..no help.Kinda rude USA Today. When we finally cancelled 2-3 days before they had already 2 weeks prior charged us $65 to our credit card which was a little out of order. Wait 2-3 days before they maybe assume we wanted to continue your trial ..but two weeks before is a little much. The paper is a nice newspaper but way way overpriced for the little bit of thin paper they give you. For a few dollars a week maybe but $275 for the year I don't think we are that naïve. I say subscribe elsewhere to better more news papers.

We have tried to order this newspaper five times and paid for it over 5 months ago for our…read moredaughter. After being placed on hold numerous times they still could not get the address for the delivery correct. When they finally solved the problem they wanted to give us a $5.25 credit even though we had paid for a full year. This has been the most frustrating experience for a subscription to a newspaper or magazine I've ever went through. Terrible customer service. I requested four or five times to speak with a manager and the manager refused to get on the phone. The agent was told they were supposed to handle the problem. I will never order this Newspaper again!

Mark and his team of experts were amazing! My neighbor had gotten ahold of them when he and I…read moreexperienced similar defects in our homes. From the very beginning, Mark was there with us the entire time fighting tooth and nail with the developers and HOA to get us the reimbursements we deserved. His knowledge on construction law is top notch. Thanks to Golden State, we not only were able to receive the money we deserved but were also able to be put into the loop for a greater legal claim with the developers who cut many corners to build the community of townhouses we live in. Thank you Mark and team!

I cannot recommend Mark Kirkland and Golden State Construction and HOA Law, P.C. highly enough…read more From the very first conversation, Mark believed in me. He saw exactly what I saw and validated my experience--a gift that meant everything during a three-year battle to get the solar company to finally do the right thing. Mark built the right team around me, handled every detail, and never lost sight of the financial impact on my life. More importantly, he got me. I didn't have to micromanage or pepper him with endless questions; I trusted him to do his job, and he did it beautifully. The group he surrounded me with--especially Gregg DeHaan--was absolutely invaluable and made the process so much smoother. My victory is a direct result of having an attorney who genuinely cares. Mark isn't just skilled--he actually gives a damn, and that makes all the difference. I am profoundly grateful for his expertise, his heart, and his unwavering support.

I would highly recommend Daniel and his team to anyone who needs a team, builder, or ongoing marketing support. He's very experienced and just a great team to work with altogether.

After a referral from a friend who had a great experience, I reached out to D-Kode and could not have been happier. The process was quite smooth and many relevant questions were addressed in their design questionnaire. They were able to set up all the features I was looking for including an Instagram reel and online booking for my clients. Jennifer made a site that I am proud to share with my friends, family and clients. Daniel was extremely responsive, especially when I needed last minute help before the launch. Thanks D-Kode for a wonderful experience.
