[Resolved]  India Today Book Club — Non delivery of product

I had ordered for Britannica Encyclopedia Jumbo pack from India Today Book Club and paid through my Credit Card. I received a confirmation mail on April 30, 2008 stating that the payment has been received and quoted my order number. They asked for 2-3 weeks for delivery. I waited for a long time, and followed up sometime in 1st Week of June, 2008. The customer care executive replied that the product has been despatched. After a week, I again called for follow up and got a reply that the consignment got rejected as the consignee refused to accept. The fact is that no one even came to my address. Then I received a mail that the consignment was rejected. I again confirmed to resend the consignment on June 28, 2008. I am still waiting for the product even after such a long time.

My order no. is. 0GA[protected].

Kindly help me in this matter.

Sub: Reg refund of money on non receipt of product

Sir
I booked an office kit over phone on 18/02/09 with India Today Book Club costing Rs 2799/-- and paid the amount by my credit card on the same day over phone.

2. According to them, the product will reach to me within 14 days but till now I have not received the product. The details of the order are as below:
Membership no.-ITBC[protected] booking date 18/02/09
Booking ID[protected]
Consignment no. [protected] by Blue Dart courier date 27/02/09.

3. I called to India Today Book club about non receipt of product and complaint about this 5 times as below:
On 17/03/09 to Mr Anant Complaint no: 24137
On 02/04/09 to Mr Amit Complaint no: 49351
On 02/0-04/09 to Mr Jitender Complaint no: 49902
On 13/04/09 to Mr Rvinder Complaint no: 63586
On21/04/09 to Mr Ashutosh Complaint no: 75212
On 21/04/09 to Mr Justin Fernades Complaint no: 75255

4. Everyone responded that you will receive the product within next 4 working days but not yet received and am mentally harassed. And no action has been taken on the complaints as the product has not delivered to me onmy residential add as: Qtr no 222, CRPFqtrs, Sector 16-b Dwarka New Delhi -75.
5. I requested them to cancel the order and remit me Rs2799/-- with interest, they say either to mail or write us to cancel the order and no interest will be give as per their policy Whereas I am of the opinion that when order can be taken over phone, it can be cancelled over phone after verifying the identity.
6. It is therefore requested to kindly look into the matter so that my money be returned with interest and I be compensated for the mental harassment and coy makes consumer friendly policies so that customers are not harrased

Thanking You

Mmbership no-ITBC 09875456
Booking ID[protected]
Consignment no [protected] blue Dart courier date 27/02/09
Any how i havent receved your product till now and fed up with your answers on your call centres citing one or othr reasons for non delivering the product. and feels very much harrased and cheated and wants to cancel the order wih the condition to refund my money back with interst which your telecallers refused saying such refund is not in their company policy. I was neither told during booking the product that after paying for the product neither the product will be deliverd nor refund wil be done.
NOW I HAVE NO OPTION LEFT THAN TO MOVE CONSUMER COURT .
I therefore request to kindly mail me the full detail of my conversation from the date of booking to various complaints made by during the period to present before the court.
HOPE YOU WILL SEND THE DETAILS AT THE EARLIEST.

Product : C160 Camera

After almost month of booking (i.e. after payment), India Today Book Club is not able to provide details as to

1. Why their is delay?

2. By what date they will deliver product to me?

3. What does order under process exactly mean?

Everytime I write to them I get reply that my order is under process. I think its a clearcut fraud and people trying to place order with them should take enough care. At this point, I think I have lost my Rs 5300 and further money which I will invest in taking legal action agaist india today book club.
