Big Bazaar / FutureBazaar / Future Retail / HomeTown Complaints & Reviews

I am frequent shopper at Big Bazaar for the past 4 years at Tarnaka (Secunderabad). I am also member of the Profit club([protected]). I bought a spunk T Shirt 2 months back and must have worn it 2-3 times. I was shocked to see that it got torn in my last machine wash. I am totally upset about this as I have good opinion on Big Bazaar products but had a bad experience this time. I bought 3 spunk T shirts and the other 2 are fine. Only this one is damaged.Could you please look into this matter. Thanks Murali [protected]

Dear sir, I, Naresh Sharma, was going to purchase some items. One item was safed campion of 5 kg. And it had free a bucket and a mug. and some other item, from ground floor and I have gone to 2nd floor for billing but the cashier told that mug is not free with safed detergent. Then I told the cashier to go and check that mug is free or not. I am waiting for 20 to 30 mins. But he didn't reply . So I got angry because my time is wasting . Then I told one man to come with me to see that it is free or not and in the mean time the cashier told my son that"chor ek ta mug tuleneshe" then I got very much angry . and this is all the matter and the argument go long for half an hour . And my extact time wasted 2 hrs, so I request you to improve your management ... All the head staffs and other staffs talked to me in slang language... The mall was dreamplex and the address is Durgapur city centre.

Dear sir, I 've been customer of big bazaar.this is nt a complaint at all but a request regarding the centre.since your centre is at Hubli and I being the resident of its twin city dharwad. And have to travel all the way to Hubli if need to buy any commodities and wouldn't be able vto make use of various offers on those particular days and wil be missing most of them so through this I would lik to request you to think about making a big bazaar outlet even at dharwad it would be of great help for 100.'s of your customers who travel to Hubli for the same. Do the needneedful

I am a humble customer from Agartala who happened to shop at big bazar Agartala on 8th may 2014 at 3:15pm. I shopped for a buy 1 get 1 offer of Nissan gulab jamun. Two of the staffs, namely Sandipa and mithun, not only refused us to give the offer but also noted its price as 400 whereas availing the offer the price would have been 100, charging us an extra 300 bucks. Furthermore, upon identifying their mistakes they brutally misbehaved with me. As a regular customer of Agartala big bazar and it's well wisher, I want serious actions to be taken against those staffs for the betterment of big bazar and it's customers. Thanks, Patatri.

Branch - BIG BAZAAR (FUTURE RETAIL LTD) PLOT NO 178 & 178A, PHASE- INDUSTRIAL AREA, CHANDIGARH, INDIA TEL NO[protected] TILL No- 22, Date- 15.04.14, Time- 21:47 CH- 287309, Kamal Kumar As subject states this branch has kept salespaerson who steal customer products at the billing counter. This I am saying because total items purchased & mentioned in bill was 53 & I received only 49 pieces. At the time of billing he packed 4 bags - three polythene bags & one FBB paper bag, but in bill he mentioned only 3 bags instead of 4. Salesperson kept these three bags on our trolley & kept 4th bag with him. We were very tired so trusting them didn't crosschecked things. At security also person punched the bill without counting items. Next day when I called they said they will check in cameras. After checking they accepted their mistake. I told them to deliver my parcel at home, but till date neither i have recieve call from their side nor they have delivered my parcel. I am attaching pictures for reference. Salesperson name was Kamal Kumar, please deliver my parcel & take strict action otherwise i will make complaint in customer forum . One more thing i want to put to your notice that, on that day a FINAYL bottle was broken by me by mistake, they charged me for that, so my question is that they remembered to charge me for that broken bottle but they didnt remember to give me my complete bags, take action or i will lodge complaint that you have kept thieves in your stores.

I have purchased lots of products in there scheme purana do naya lo now they are not coming to pick up old product due to which they saying they cant issme me delivery of new product which i purchased since month this drama is happening poor customer care and people frmo store are not picking up the call as well

I visited big bazaar saligramam branch on 1st of May and brought several products. I paid the bill for all the products but forgot to take 2 jeans pant worth 839rs from the counter. The security at the exit never cross checked the products and bill. He just punched the bills during the exit. I realized that I forgot 2 jeans pant in the big bazaar counter itself and went back to the customer care department and informed that I forgot my things. They said since the bills are punched by the security during the exit, they cannot help me. I requested them to check the camera which is available in all the counters so that they can see that I missed on packing the 2 jeans pants. I was requesting to give my things back which I forgot in the billing counter. I have the date, time and the bill by which they can easily check the camera and verify if whatever I am saying is true or not. But people in bib bazaar customer care said they cannot help and they are also not ready to check the camera.

I have asked for home deliver, but its been wrongly communicated to me. Different versions from different people. Hence suffered a lot. Following is the communication I had with for the same, but there is no proper response and the mistake is continued, Attrocious service at Bigbazar Ameerpet Hyderabad One and half hour comedy at Bigbazar, all this is because I asked for home delivery, BILL NO: INV NO: 0184135 I am made to wait for 65 minutes after billing. This is happening for the second time. do you want to give away your market to bigbasket why dont you deliver home, all the item purchased safely Do you classify things that can be delivered and things that cant be do you have any policy like that please send me a copy of that Initially while purchasing I enquired one of your staff(Not regular counter people, some dignified head collared) whether you deliver home these onions, he thought and confirmed yes we deliver. I also told him about last time problem for which I have sent a mail like this last time and some executive by name srinivas called me and told that “we deliver everything, but as some goods get spoiled overnight, for the comfort of the customer we request the customer to remove few items”. Now the dignified collared head told that “ see sir srinivas is not big bazar, whatever he says is not final, tommorrow I have to answer the audit people we cannot deliver every item you purchase. Good that he told like that. But he spoile my onion purchase. I repeat why dont you deliver. When I complain to you online and if somebody is calling me in response to that, is he not your company representative. Is he not speaking on behalf of the company. After billing no we cant deliver done billing classified deliverable and non deliverable items then I said I dont want onions then return went to 1st floor asked me to come to 1st floor took a xerox copy of my bill enquired with somebody again went to billing person gave the refund. Ha, whats happening is this-- customer delight, customer ecstacy and ---- Big bazar-- kishore Biyani-pantaloon, FUTURE bazaar, online bigbazar whats happenning The corporate Big Bazar took more than one hour to settle a bill you may find some excuses think on these--- 1. i have asked for refund for onion-as you have accepted then rejected to deliver home the goods 2. i have asked for refund of Rs65/- in my last bill as your biller mistakenly typed an item twice, i took only one piece. both are your mistake i came with my family and you made me wait with my family any how 65 minutes is attrocious. hence you have to be penalised. I am a member of your profit club, credit it by Rs20000/- for the inconvenience caused.

the staff at the above outlet are Very IRRESPONSIBLE AND HIGHLY INEFFICIENT .. thrice i had to go back to the store for faulty billing and the staff did not put the item in the carry bag for which i had paid. I bought a patiala dupatta set Cash memo no. 0798447 dated 2nd May 2014. they put the patiala and forgot to put the dupatta for which i had to rush back to the store. please look into the problem and ensure that customers are not harasses further.

sir/maam, i have been going to big bazaar chennai in ea mall, royapettah, since i've come to chennai. Twice now i have been disappointed later, and staying somewhat distant from the mall, am unable to go back to complain/rectify the situation. A bottle i bought has a hole in the bottom. A pack of nescafe chocomocha (pack of five), when opened at home, yielded only two sachets. the bill number for these purchases was 0054234 and transaction no. 37205. Vat tin: [protected]. Kindly look into this.

Hi Sir/Madam, This is Kumar. I have gone to Big bazaar located at Old Madras road Bangalore on March 26th 2014 ( Invoice No. 0010270) to purchase unstitched cotton churidar materials. In Kalamandir section I've bought two churidars. I asked about colors guarantee they told that it won't bleed. Then I stitched it within a week and wore it. The next day I rinsed the cloth with plain water. The material bleeded heavily. The churidar material was lavender and white and after rinsing I couldn't find the original colour. Moreover, the churidar was completely faded. On April 11th, I've contacted the Big bazaar Kalamandir section, they told that they would send it to the HO. After 15 days I've contacted they told that they couldn't exchange. They aren't admitting their mistake. I have been purchasing with Bigbazaar for more than 10 years in metro cities like Bangalore, Kolkota, Hyderabad, Chennai. Till now I didn't face such a product quality issue. Really, I am wondering about the worst customer service. Kindly take action on this Kumar ([protected])

I have purchased one Twisty Cont. Set 10p along with other items from Big Bazaar, Asansol on 22.04.2014, The price of the Twisty Cont. Set is Rs.99/- as told by concerned person of Big Bazaar as well as it is mentioned on sticker of the item ( 10 pcs set- Special Price Rs.99/- ). But the same as been charged as Rs. 199/- which I have noticed while checking the cash memo after coming back from Big Bazaar. My cash memo number is 0002654, Tr.65055. I strongly oppose this unjustified activity and request to do the needful for returning the extra money taken by Big Bazaar. Name- S. Chakladar M- [protected]

Please see attached screenshot, which also shows the cashiers name. I purchased groceries for Rs.3936 at Big Bazaar in Phoenix mall, Velachery, Chennai. The cashier tried to swipe my card, but said it didn't work. So I withdrew cash from the nearby ATM and paid. The cashier told me I can collect free sugar and wheat since my bill is above 3K. I saw this last item "Madhur Sugar" in the bill, worth Rs. 300 and asked the cashier about it. He assured me by even showing his PC that item was free and he did not charge for it. He sent his colleague to help me out. Standing away from the counter, I verified the bill total and found it came to only 3636. I enquired about it and strangely the cashier replied "yes, sugar is free, I did not charge for it". Shocked, I asked him if he knew what "free" meant. In between, his colleague asked me if confirm that I didn't buy sugar at all. And then I was told "ok, its 300, but you still get sugar and wheat free". Worse, he defended himself saying he billed correctly and that there's a problem in the billing software. Finally, his colleague told him "why don't you just handover the money", after which the cashier gave me the 300. While collecting the free items at the T24 counter, I enquired why such things happen, to which I was told "its possible 1 out of 10 people get charged by mistake" and he showed me another bill where it showed -300 in the NET AMT column. Using his pen, he tried to show that "minus" was missing, as though it was trivial matter. On my way home, I concluded its possible for the cashier to choose to add or deduct "free" items.

We recently shifted to our new apartment in Kandivali and the first thing that my wife and I picked up for the house was a bed from Hometown 1. At the showroom, the sales team assures me that the bed we picked up was in stock and should get delivered within 3 days of our purchase 2. I get my bed delivered 2 days late, without any notification or reason 3. Delivery has 2 boxes which the fitting guy deems incomplete (1 box missing) 4. Customer care ASSURES me that they will check the warehouse inventory and call me the following day with an ETA on the missing piece 5. As expected, noone called the following day 6. At around 6 PM my wife called up customer care only to receive vague responses like the xyz team has received the complaint and the abc team can't get back with a response or committment Learnings for me and my family: 1. Never ever shop at hometown 2. Even if all other brands/ competitors shut shot, never shop at hometown Raj +91-[protected]
