Indiatimes Shopping — Product not delivered / money not refunded

Hi ! I am an Indian residing in New Zealand . Like all daughters, I decided to send my mother a mother's Day Gift . I booked my order on Indiatimes order number[protected]. I presumed it would be hassle free and painless, quite the contrary, I called up my mother on mother's Day and very excitedly asked her how did she find the surprise . She was taken aback as she had not received anything . On the other hand, she had received a call from a courier agency saying that they could not find the address and therefore had sent the goods back to the store and she was supposed to collect it from the store (what a surprise!) . I called up there customer service and tried to explain in vain what had happened . The easiest solution they could offer was we will refund the money (which has not happened till date ) . It is one of the worst websites in India right now . They are absolute rip offs and they have sitting in there customer services . I have learnt my lesson the hard way . Never ever using the site again . Its quite unbelievable that they are a sister concerns of Times of India .

I have a simliar experience with Indiatimes.I booked a pedometer in December using my credit card online.After few days the charge was declined as the pedometer was out of stock.I received a call again in January'09 from Indiatimes informing that the pedometer is in stock and I can book a new one with a discounted price.they also threw in a Gift certificate along with the order.It is June and 6 months since I placed the order has not been sent..I also realised that the Gift certificate issued was an expired one with a validity of only a month.Frequent mails to [protected]@indiatimes.co.in did not help..They insisted on seeing my credit card number.When i realised that this would not be safe and and asked for their accounts department number/email they stopped answering my mails.Another sign that the whole thing is a big scam and with my experience, I would request all to be careful with dealing with Indiatimes.
i have ordered a DIGITAL CAMERA via online shopping with INDIATIMES
AWB Number---[[protected]]
Remark---[ok]
Shipment Date---[Jul 7, 2009]
Courier Name---[elbee]

I havent received my goods yet, despite of calling up customer service number of times to cancel my order, i haven't received any callback from them. The information given to me on my loginid with indiatimes shopping about the courier or AWB number "mentioned above" is also wrong.

my order number is 2159676

need to take a legal action againt the company so that such things should not happen next time with anyone else.
