Bata India Complaints & Reviews

I purchased an handbag on around 14th may but it but the stitching was damaged within 20 days only so i went and replaced it within the warranty period and got a new one but the new one also resulted in damaged upper material and damaged stitching within 1 month only and when i went to exchange within the warranty period of this new bag they said system is not supporting .It was really disappointing and if this is the quality provided in bata handbags then why would one buy.I would really appreciate it if i could get some help from customer care so that I could continue to be a regular customer of bata. I have attached the snapshots also of the damaged portions.

I brought a black formal shoe in 25.12.2011 from D-Block, Cannaught Place, New Delhi authorised code no. 100925 rate 1499/- only ..........my shoe sole has totely broken..........and i go to the show room the receptionist told me that you have complained online on bata website and i was told that i will get a shoe in exchange with that.so kindly look into this matter and please do something with this...thank you.

Dear Customer Executive,

I had purchased a 1 pair of Hush Puppies ( Bata India Ltd) shoes vide bill no.03545/1216 dtd.03.06.2012 from Shop No.LGF-65 , Metro Polis Mall M G Road, Gurgaon for Rs.3,499/-.

Copy of the bill is enclosed herewith for your ready reference.

Last week to my utter surprise I noticed that the shoe was having manufacturing defect as the sole on one shoe was coming out and it was impossible for me to continue wearing it.

On bringing to the notice of the Shop officials Mr.Saurabh (#[protected]) on 21.07.2012 , he immediately told that he would send it to the stores and intimate their feedback within a day or two. After 4 days when I enquired about the matter he stated that they would not replace the same but would repair it within 2 -3 days.

As the terms of conditions it clearly stipulates that any manufacturing defect arises the same would be replaced with a new one and not undergo repairs.

As the period of validity is well within 60 days , I request your good offices to raise the issue with the Agency and help me to procure a new one immediately.

Kindly settle my issues as early as possible.

If any please free to contact me on +91 [protected].

Regards,
Sai Kiran.

Sir,

Again I'm forced to send a mail like this....

Second worst experience from Bata.

First mail I sent, but no reply yet from bata, but this time I'm not going to sit quiet after sending this mail. I'll wait for 2 days for a response from Bata, and then will move to consumer court and file a complaint against Bata with proofs.

This year starting I bought some chappels from Bata, Ernakulam, for my wife and mother. The one I bought for my wife for 499 used only 2 times. She wore the same 2 days to office and the 3rd day she finds the problem in that. The fake leather material starts going and that day while coming back, the strap came out. If a product buying for 499 rupees, how many time should use it? This experience is not the first time to me. Last time I sent a mail, but not even a single reply from bata received. So this time I wrote seriously. Below is the mail regarding the shoe of mine which already sent mail. But this time even worst experience. Only 2 days used and 3 rd day gone, that too wearing and going and coming back in car. Bought some where in January and started using last week, but was able to use it for 3 days.

I'm going to visit the bata shop again with the defective item for their reply this week.

Sir,

I am Biby Thomas, purchased a bata shoe in 2009 Aug, for my marriage from the bata shop situated opposite to Chennai Silks, Ernakulam. I used that shoe less than 20 times yet, After marriage we went to Chennai for a function, when I walked outside from the Railway station, the sole of my right shoe fully came separate. And within this 10 usage the leather part also gone. I went to a shoe shop to stitch or paste my sole, he told this is not leather material, it is some what like a layer of lether outside the reksin. Any way i stitched and went for the function and came back. In few days o[censored]sage the leather part also gone almost completely.

If a company like bata is doing like this (keeping reksin and cheat the customers by showing it as leather). I ashamed of Bata now. I purchased that shoe for 1199/_ rs. what is this, a shoe for 1200 for less than 20 times o[censored]sage. I used it very carefully, since i mostly travel in cars, not in a crowed bus. I request Bata to stop cheating people like this, Please dont repeat this type of cheap mentality and cheating valued customers. This will definitely reduce your customer strength. sure... I purchased a woodland shoe for 1150 after the discount and using it without any issues. If you are doing like this, you should give those cheating items for less price, and give customers good items for these prices.

Why I wrote this was of 2 reason, last week my chennai friend asked me, where is that Bata shoes man? after 2 years. Then the trust in the woodlands shoes, very nice material and good one. So please treat this as an advice and Dont cheat customers like this.

Hi,

My name is Tumul Taran and I have purchased Hush Puppies Shoes in November 2012 from the Bata operated showroom at 4-D, Connaught Place, New Delhi.

After purchasing a shoe for a high price of 2700-/- (pictures attached) It is really disheartening that the shoe has shown such a complaint that too i've worn it only few times and not even daily. it's upper pasting has gone off and the right feet shoe has lost its sole already. And what's more disheartening is that when i went to the above showroom to lodge a complaint about the same, the sales guys and the manager told me that they cannot address to my complaint since I don't have the receipt.

I am very very disappointed with whatever is happening in the quality check department in Bata India despite the fact that Bata claim policy says that "Bata products are manufactured with the utmost care and stringent quality control is always maintained". This is really not done.

I have left the shoe with the showroom despite of their dis-agreement and the receipt of the same is attached herewith. I can't understand why these people are behaving like that senselessly when the fault comes under major manufacturing defect which is unquestionable...the sole of the shoe has gone off in 5 months. Sometimes i doubt whether Bata sell original Hush Puppies or pirated ones.

I had been purchasing Bata shoes even from my school days and had always liked the brand. But now surprisingly I am forced to hate it specially because of the quality of Hush Puppies I purchased. As far as the receipt is concerned, I paid for that through my credit card and i can show my credit card statement with DETAILING of the store if that is needed to verify my purchase.

Now I would like to know from BATA how they are going to treat my complaint? The way they are to respond to my complaint would reflect their faith on the Quality system and Customer satisfaction. And the best thing that the email ID for complain is not working.

Hello Guys,

This is about how bad quality shoes delivered by BATA. And they are not taking responsibility for that.
I bought a formal shoes having followin details

Article : 8216951
Bought From : Bata Store , M G Road, Vadodara
Purchase Date : 08th Jan 2012
Cost: 750

Then just after 3 months, I am having problem with it.
1st the bottom of the shoes was losing its grip. I got it repaired. And then just after 2 weeks the stitches o[censored]pper part of shoes stated opening up.
I again gave it to BATA store for repair. And after repair, in just 1 day it was again damaged, coming back to its initial condition. Now what to do?
With many hopes, I reached to BATA. I mailed them. I have attached a reply from them in the attachment below.

The BATA people haven't even had look at the shoes & just replied that this incidental damage, not the quality issue. I was just like left helpless.
I gave up. And purchased new shoes of another company.

Here I swear that I will never buy any product of BATA in future. And I advise all to stay away from bad quality BATA products.

Thanks

I bought my shoes on 6 April 2012 and i am really disappointed because of the soles of the shoes .I have bought it not even a week and the soles have been tore out. I bought it for 800rupees and there was a offer that time that if the soles of the shoes will come out they would change it. When i went there back to change my shoes they told me that i have to give them the payment bill but by mistake i have lost it somewhere and they told me to send a mail to you and request.I hope you can help me out in this.

Dear Sir,
I have purchased Ladies sleeper worth Rs1200 from new Bata Shop near Regal CP , yesterday when I reached there to lodge complaint he told show the bill , it was purchased in Oct-11 . I don,t have the bill which is the regular pactice of anyone.
When I told that I don't have the bill , he give me customer care number of BATA & asked to make a complaint on this number. When I called BATA told me that they are offering only 2 months warranty written on Bill. While in shop nothing is displayed about the warranty ,which is to be displayed.
It is indication of the mlafied intentions about the Product quality about its manufacturing defects & it seems they are selling 2nd grade material on fresh prices.
I need suggestion & my sleeper to be replaced by BATA.

Dear Sir,
It is quite astonished to note that you being one of the profound
Company is not responding to a complaint regarding colour fading of a
sandal set purchased vide bill no. 01737 dated 22.3.2012 from Bata
Showroom at Chalai, East Fort, Trivandrum. On approaching them, I was
told by them arrogantly and informed that they will not replaced it.
Since you have kept mum, I leavewith no other alternative but to force
me to hand over the matter to the legal advisor to procede against you
in Consumer Court.
Hope, you will not press me to take such drastic steps.
