Dear Sirs,

I have yet to come across a more shameful firm than yours. You win Hats off.

From your mail dt.16.3.10 wherein you had asked for 10-12 working days and later on again 3-4 days it is now one month. Please let me know if there is a job available in your company where there are such less working days in a month.

I will be glad to have details of your higher ups so that they may be informed of the kind of harassment you meet out to your customers. I hope you have the guts to do that at least.

Dear Ms. Rosy,


Kindly refer to your mail dt.16.3.2010 wherein you had assured delivery of gift within 10-12 days.



Regret to inform you that I have still not received the same.



Kindly clarify "10-12" days was 10-12 or should it have been 10+12=22 days.

My customer id is GHK 1575969 and my latest complaint no. is 2533117.

I regret that India Today Group makes such false promises of "despatching a gift within 3/4 weeks" when the subscrition starts but do not bother to send the same even though my subscribtion is about to end.

I am a teacher and can only tell my students not to believe anything that your group writes because it seems you do not tell and probably do not report the truth.

I am sure any other group would have been shameful enough to atleast inform me. I have had to make several calls and even then it is impossible to get in touch with someone responsible in your group,i.e. if there is any such person. I was given the no. of Mr.

Anuj Srivastava [protected] but no one replies on that. I am sure no one will reply to this mail of mine too.

Anyways...if "we care" has meaning for you kindly inform the status to my husband on his no. [protected]

India Today Group — Non Despatch of subscription gift

Dear Sir,

I have subscribed Good House keeping from India today group on 08 May 2009 under Customer Id 91582573 and subscription Id GHK1578105. My subscription started on 01 Jun 2009.

I was promised that my free gift of "A Set of 2 Exclusively Handcrafted Hot Tea Cups & Saucers" will be sent to me in six weeks. However I have still not received the gift even after eight months. Every time I ask the magazine people they say that it is out of stock and will take three to four weeks to dispatch and then nothing happens.

I account it to denial of customer rights and demand a renewal of subscription for another one year since the company has failed to send the gift within the stipulated time frame.
