[Resolved]  India Today Book Club — Undelivered consignment

I had booked orders vide booking ID no. [protected]in first week of June'09. I was promised that the material would be delivered within 15 days.I kept waiting till the 1st week of July. Upon enquiry, I was informed that the material was on hold because of instructions from me. I informed theCutomer care cell that no such standing instructions were issued by me and they may very well deliver the consignment. Since no actions were taken, I sent mail, which they responded to, promptly. But till date, the material has not reached me.

Meanwhile, I have wrote quite a few mails. They have beenn responding with their regret letters and applogies, every time promising for a fast solution. But, it seems to be a never ending process. Pl facilitate

Letters to India Today Book club and their response is being enclosed for reference.

Dear Sirs,

Inspite of the repeated follow ups, you have not sent me the consignment or refunded my money.

However, I have realized that there is at least one good thing about you. You are really goodin writting regret letters and applogies. I think these are worth publishing. Send a few more samples. I will try to get these published in leading newspapers of India .

Regards

Rajesh Shukla

Another week has passed. Neither has been my money refunded nor have you sent the consignment. As I talked to your helpline (Probably Swati) at 12.48:48 pm on07.08.09, I got to know that the status has not changed much. Your technical problem (the massive Break down) has still not been sorted out.

Your representatives do not have solutions and your seniors do not have time; they are too busy to attend to my calls.

I would be extremely grateful to you and your seniors, not to say the whole India Today Book Club team, if someone from your seniors can take pain to contact me at my no. [protected] and help me find solutions to my problem.

I would like to present some of your promises which might act as reminders. I have highlighted the lines for your convenience.

My Regret and apprehensions in a nut shell

You will keep making sincere promises for 'the delivery of the consignment in a week's time'. The week would keep stretching.

It's a noble way to earn interest out of customer;s money.

You are out to test my Patience

Dear Mr. Chetn Arya

I fail to understand what kind of technical problem has occured in your systems; it's surperising to know that you require a week's time to sort it out ?

Now, may I request you to be kind enough to cancel my order and send my money back. I do not require the material any more.

I am not going to accept the cpnsignment, now.

Dear Sirs,



All the information sent by me in the mail was provided by your team only. There has already been enough of delay in the delivery. Pl find out solutions to the problem and facilitate the delivery.



I regret to say that things have been pretty bad at your end. I have not received even a single copy of the India Today Book Club magazine ever since the renewal, even after repeated complaints on phone. Every time the complaints are noted down and conveniently forgotten.



I have been a vey old customer of India Today magazine. But the attitude of the staff of your organization has been a detterent factor twrds renewal of the subscription. Since I have developed the habit of reading the magazine, I now buy the issues from the stands.



Regards



Rajesh Shukla

Pl. refer to my booking ID no. [protected]. I regret to inform you that I have not received the consignment as yet.



As I tracked the consignment, I got to know that the consignment has gone back to your offices citing 'holding of consignment on consignee's request' as the reason for noon delivery. In this context, I would like to inform you that no such request was made by me.



Pl. facilitate the delivery at the earliest. In case, the consignee is not available at home, pl. contact on mobile no. [protected].

India Today Book Club — Consignment undelivered yet

Despite couple of reminders through mails and through phone, no action has been taken so far. Their mail states that the complaint is being forwarded to the concerned department which appears to be a pacifying statement to linger on the issue. Which Department ???? yet to be known.

Moreover, on telephone, the pacifying commitments are made by some Mr. Amit, viz. "You shall receive the consignment by Saturday". The irony is - two Saturdays are already past - Which Saturday he was talking about?

In case ITBC is unable to take any action, then it would be fair to refund back the money Rs.3199/- (with interest) that was credited to their account in the month of April, 2009 through my Credit Card.

Please do the needful at the earliest.

Order No. MTBC-WEB[protected]
Speed Post consignment no. ED[protected]IN
