Times Of India Shopping / Cordless Telephone — selling inferior product by deceit

I am in the army and insulated from rest of the civil world ordinarily. Being a regular subscriber of TIMES OF INDIA newspaper i was exposed to an advt by the TOI SHOPPING of a cordless telephone set at an affordable price of Rs 1650 /-claimed to be the cheapest in the whole of India. The look of the set was good and i had till then a good impression of the TOI news Group.
A few days later i was delidered a microtel made in CHINA tele set which worked for a few minutes and became dead. i lodged a complaint with the TOI shopping . Prompt came the replacement in the form of Eurotel MADE IN CHINA teleset which is not worth living with. The remote rechargeable cell do not hold charge for more than a few minutes. It 's noisy and comes out with shrill ear piercing sounds generated within.
The main set has too many features but barely function. It is so noisy that the local BSNL repair mechanic who is literally disturbed due to frequent complaints about low reception asked me me not to use that teleset at all.
I am poorer by 1650/-, I am shattered that i believed people in TOI for so long .
I am a victim of a larger defraud as the picture shown to sale the item is not the same as the Brand and the name of the manufacturer of the tele set was not highlighted. It is kind of taking poor soul in the Army for a ride .
Iam angry as these are the people are in the forefront leading the nation By craeting HYPE with LEAD INDIA.
Iam not complaining against M/S zap electronics MUMBAI because i had not purchased the item from them directly . Iwant the responsibility be fixed against TOI and it's BOARD OF DIRECTORS to whom i bestowed faith. They have betrayed my faith . they have betrayed the faith reposed to them.

ZAP Electronics Mumbai/ EUROTEL Cordless — cell does not hold charge.

against my order through TOI SHOPPING i have recd a EUROTEL Cordless/corded tel at SV colony RKPURAM , SEC'BAD in Jan 2008.the cell s do not hold charge . i want them to be replaced being within warranty period in situ at your cost.
The problem with most of the buyers such as you is the faith you have in a respected entity such as Times of India. What you dont realize is that they import all their TOI shopping materials from China. This affects our Indian industries who make far superior products than what they offer. And after sales support from TOI is pathetic. I have two products that didnt last beyond first use and were never replaced by Times of India. They are a disgrace to our country. You would be better off buying a phone from Beetal which is guaranteed to work.
