[Resolved]  Indiatimes Shopping — wrong product delivery and no refund for the product

Address:Pune, Maharashtra

Hello
I purchased a hard disk""seagate expansion 2 tb ext." From indiatimes online shopping website on 11th september. I made it sure by calling to customer support wheather the product I was looking for is available or not and they replied yes.

After recieving the product it was not as I expected it.(I was looking for external hard disk without charger but they delivered the wrong product).

On 18th I called the customer support and asked them to replace it.

I waited for there response but it was null.But despite repeated calls to get it replaced, the customer service adviser would assure me that manager would call up,I called them up 20 times and so finally asked for a refund.
And not they have even avoided attending my calls.

The another part was when I mail them my query what they do is just reply via system generated mails.

Worst experience.!!

The worst part is the customer care is very inefficient in handling any form of query,I have spend a lot of money calling them up, but it was a waste of my time and money.I would want my refund immediately and have sworn to stay away from this particular website-shopping.Indiatimes.Com

order no:300 1460594

complaint no:409147

order creation date:tuesday, sep 11, 2012 at 7:39 pm

complaint creation date:tuesday, sep 18, 2012 at 10:35 pm

expected complaint resolving date:oct 11'2012.

Kindly assist me in obtaining a refund,as am not able to get in touch with a single responsible person in the company.

Its very annoying and stressful to just get through the many options on the telephone system.

I would want them to process my refund as soon as possible.

Thank you.
Sincerely
kamal kothyari

Indiatimes Shopping — Wrong product /no refund

I had ordered for Sempr 4 pc bathroom set paying around 2000 Rs. However I have received some random 4 plastic glass which must not be worth Rs 50 also. I had called Indiatimes multiple times regarding the same this week and was kept jugling between the vendor and you people. I was also given a complaint number saying that someone will call and have my incorrect item picked up and get it replaced. But till date I have got no response regarding the same. It has been a very painfull experience shopping with Indiatimes and the customer service is absolutely unfriendly and of no help. Beware of this fraud company. You will only loose your money and waste time.
I agree with the complainant. Even I'm one of the victim's of Indiatimes shopping. I had ordered for a touchscreen mobile phone for Rs.5500 and the same was delivered. But it was a bad phone with very bad software, bad sound quality. It was a cheap chinese product which is being sold at extravagant price by Indiatimes. When I called customer care for returing and refund, they confirmed that they will refund on my returning the mobile. Accordingly I returned the mobile, but now the same Customer Care have turned around and saying that refund is not possible. First time when I enquired after returning, they said that refund policy has been changed after I bought the Mobile and hence it is not refundable. When I called the next time, another customer care person informed that refund is not possible as their business team has informed that refund cannot be given. This shows that there is no customer friendly and standard policy in Indiatimes, further each time you call the Customer Care is giving different reasons for not refunding. Very bad and sad to see that the Times of India Group, which boasts of its publishing and journalism should be having such bad business model and causing lot of inconvenience to the customer. Now I'm waiting to see what they will say when I call them again. I have already emailed to [protected]@indiatimes.co.in and [protected]@indiatimes.co.in but there is no response.

After my bad experience, I started checking on Indiatimes in the internet and to my horror there are scores of complaints against Indiatimes, which clearly proves that all is not well with Indiatimes shopping. Hope the professional management of Indiatimes takes immediate and timely steps to have a customer friendly business model or just shuts the indiatimes shopping. It is such a waste of time and money as we have to keep on corresponding for get our due.

Indiatimes Shopping — No delivery of product/ No refund

Hi,

I ordered a Bajaj Iron on 8 Jan at Indiatimes shopping. My order number [protected].
I waited for 20 days for the arrival of the product and at last had to shoot them a mail regarding non delivery of product.
After that they called me saying that the Iron was out of stock and now they have shipped it, and that I would get the same in 4-5 days. They didn't had the courtesy to tell me that before I send the mail.
Again after 2-3 days, I got a call that they are unable to deliver, so they would refund me in 3-4 days.
Now its over 10 days, and I haven't got the money back yet!
What kind of cheaters are they?
Do we need to tell them how to carry out their own business?
This is customer satisfaction that they are offering?

My contact number : [protected]
I ordered a sewing machine and food processor. Both failed at first use. Placed a complaint with Times of India. They promised to replace...no action taken. Sent escalation mail. Still no response.

Its time to realize that TOI is polluting our country with cheap China goods (both the products I ordered were made in a village of china). This is affecting our Indian industries. Their after sales support and response is zero...their standard answer is "in 72 hours we will have someone pick it up from your doorstep". Also realize that, all you have is a call center number and a mail id...there is nothing you can do to take penal action on them.

Beware and stay away!
