[Resolved]  India Today Book Club — Non receipt of free gifts

I have paid in full the amount Rs. 1099 in cash for which I was supposed to have been given 8 Music CDs produced by Music India, one Reebok T-shirt and One Bag. I received the Cds on 27th March. I tried to log on to the website intimated by India Today group www.bookstoday.in/promos.htm, but could not. I tried calling teh land line number[protected] and was told the website is out of order and till the website is restored nothing can be done about the free gifts. I have been given a number but if the claim is not made within two months the claim is automatically invalidated. What can I do?

cd — Cheating and non receipt of free gift

I had taken delivery of 8 CD pack parcel, on 7.05.2009. On the pack it was clearly written in bold letters that the free gift “Bestseller Pack+ Reebok T-shirt +Adidas bag” offer inside. When I opened the pack in presence of currier agent the gift was not found. I also contacted over the phone[protected] and Mr. Arvindra ( India Today Book Club) call on this phone. Mr. Arvind then advise me to collect the gift log on the web-site and enter the unique no. provided on invoice. When i tried to lodge my claim for offered free gifts on their given web http:// offers.indiatodaybookclub.com/, it was not available. Thus it is case of cheating (i) Despite written on pack that the free gift inside which prompted to take the delivery, was not found (ii) The condition of collecting free gift was not told while placing the order (iii) The web site is also seems false. When I told to Mr. Arvindra that I was lodge the complaint, he shows disrespect to the court of land.

FREE AIR TICKET — Non receipt of free air ticket

I have sent the application form for free air ticket against the following reference:

Round Trip Air Ticket Voucher No is : IT8944
unique code:[protected]A[protected]
membership no: ITBC09834447
Invoice no : ORA[protected]
email id :[protected]@yahoo.co.in

Today I have received vide their invoice no.OGA[protected] only the CD's, whereas all other things as promised have not been received.

On speaking to them they have informed to log on their website bookstoday.in/promos.htm and claim free gifts by mentioning the unique identification number.

Unfortunately after trying several times it is not being logged and shows error in the identification number.

ITBC have failed in their commitments and have failed to deliver the freebies and now are giving excuse of logging on their sites for claiming the gifts. It is misleading and people are fooled after they have made the payment.

The matter is to be taken up seriously with them and ensure they fulfil their committments or pay the money back to me alonwith penalty and fine so that such things are not repeated in future.
