Subject: Customer Dissatisfaction, Harassment and Compensation in lieu of

Dear Customer Care,
My miseries started on 15th August, when I read an Advt. In one of leading daily of Delhi that Home Town at Great India Place Noida is offering a 40% discount on Modular Kitchens.
I contacted yr representative Ms Neeti Batra over the phone, took an appointment and reached there with all the dimensions of my Kitchen. We finalized the kitchen and agreed on price and immediately deposited Rs 25000/- as token money the same day i.e. on 15th August itself. I was informed that someone will visit my house with in next two days to take exact measurements and then my order will be sent to factory for manufacturing and will be delivered to me in 25 days (by 9th Sept).
One person did come to my home and took the measurements and I thought that now my order would be place, but then i was informed by same Neeti Batra that I need to come and sign on the final drawings as approved and deposit 50% of the total price as advance and then only order would be sent for execution. I went there on 23rd August, signed the drawings and deposited another Rs 25000/-, and then I was informed that now 25 days will start from 23rd August and ordered material will be delivered on 19th Sept. I went back home with the hope that the ordered material would be delivered to me on 19th Sept and started making all necessary arrangements to dismantle /renovate my existing kitchen so that I keep things ready when they deliver.
In-between on 28th Aug, I again called Neeti to know the progress, and came to know that she has left the company and another person Ms Jaspreet would be handling my case. I immediately contacted her and she informed me that my Kitchen has yet not been even sent to production for manufacturing as our drawings have not been finalized yet, however when I narrated the whole story to her and informed her that I have already signed the approval of drawings 1st on 15th and then on 23rd, she informed me that all right now we will place the order today for manufacturing and it will take another 25 days from today and now the new date is 23rd of Sept.
I asked her to make me speak to her senior and then she introduced me to Mr. Paras, who is the store manager, I explained the whole story to him and he assured to me that, I need not worry and he will ensure that the Kitchen is delivered to me on 19th itself, and I should start the alteration / modification / dismantling my kitchen such a way that I complete all activities by 19th Sept.
However, on repeated conversations with Paras, he finally informed me that my kitchen is getting dispatched from Nagpur on 19th Sept and would reach Dadri ware house of Home Solutions on 22nd and would be delivered on 23rd. I organized everything accordingly and stopped using my Kitchen since 17th Sept, and going to Hotels / Restaurants since then and made all provisions to keep it ready by 22nd Sept, however when I checked with transporter (safe express) I came to know that my Kitchen has been handed over to them only on 22nd Sept and will be delivered to Home solutions only on 24th.
Today is 25th Sept,10.30 AM, so far there is no sign of me getting the Kitchen and all your people including Mr. Paras and warehouse in-charge at Dadri are lying on me and are making false commitments.
I have suffered heavily due to all this and and am without Kitchen / home food for the past several days and still do not know when my kitchen would be finally handed oner to me.
I call for an explanation, strict action against guilty and a suitable compensation to me by Home Solution for making me suffer so heavily.
Pls revert with yr action and compensation to me.

Dear Mr. Arun,

This message is from HomeTown.

This is to confirm that the kitchen work is started on 25th sept 09.

Warm Regards,
Customer Service.
I am surprised to see how a company kills its present and future business. I am also attached to this line so I can fully understand your sufferings of not cooking your food in proper way.I hope co. will its word to deliver you your kitchen.
This is totally mismanagement of company, the company should keep one head on the designers so that if they leave the job then also the thing should be done according to the schedule.

But what can the workers do as the companies now days don't pay much to the employees reason (Hiring unskilled persons).

Companies should pay good to the emploies so that they dont leave jobs and this what happend with mr arun would not happen to other clients.
I was planing to come to India and get my kitchen done with the home town.. but I have to rethink about it.
My God, It's really sad. The way they advertise all over India, we tend to believe them. I too was hoping to get my kitchen done. But reading Dr. Arun Malthotra's harassment, I will never get it done from them.
I too had the same problem in 2012 in Pune and now the dream kitchen which I paid Rs 50, 000/- my hard earned money, on 26 January 2012 has become a dark hole. I had many teething problems with Hometown then, they got the wrong sized granite not once but twice. i had to cancel my plans to take my father to Goa also. After they finally set it- the granite was short so they added a strip without making it seamless- so over 4 years now the wood has rotted away from beneath and my kitchen sink finally fell through! Today i am not getting anyone to come in and do just this small job and I feel very cheated and let down by these people who take your money first and then literally harass you by not sending and then telling you that there is a skirting hence the measurements they took were not right!! unbelievable!!
Yes they sold a dream which has now turned into a nightmare...and i would like them to pay for the damages- they said marine ply- why should it rot if its good marine ply!! I never signed their completion certificate. This is the sad state of affairs of the so called future group in India!
My advance receipt no is: #[protected]
Last year someone called to ask and i told them the problem- nobody called since them!

Checked this review just in time. Thanks you all saved me. I am travelling back to India for 2 weeks and wanted to get my kitchen work done quickly. I was considering Godrej and Hometown. Now only I wont waste my time visiting hometown!
