Immediately i was booked subcription in month of december 2007 and i getting the issues from February 2008. But still now i am not got my subcription gifts. Many i time i requested by mail as well as telephone but every time their reply was it will take 2 to 3 weeks to send the gift. Its already more then 25 weeks over still i have not received my gift.

India Today — Gift on subscription not delivered

I subscribed Business Today ( magazine - subs. no. - BT 1551456 ) I have received gift parcel against my subscription of Business Today, but in place of shoe pair only old waste paper was observed. I wrote ( since Oct 2008 ) many times but all the time they replied that Adidas shoe pair will be sent in 4-5 weeks but shoe pair is not received, as yet even now they spopped replying also
I had subscribed India Today English weekly magazines for five full years before three years during 2007.
At first, they have promised me vacuum cleaner and a tour bag. Then it was chaged and changed to Addidas shoes. Until this moment I have not received the same.Please do the needful
"India Today" has cheated me by sending a defective and useless wristwatch after extracting a huge amount towards 3 years' subscription. While I had to return this 'gift' by spending another Rs.200/-, they have also stopped sending me the issues completely since last 3 weeks. So their intention is only to cheat people. I am going to initiate some legal recourse for refund my money and damages as I feel such publishers motive should be brought to light and a massive movement is necessary to make them stop such practices.

India Today truly sucks. I subscribed at the start of September 2013 and after following up for almost 2 months, I have received my subscription number (ITE1941984) by email. I have not received a single issue so far, forget the gift. I am not even pursuing the gift, as the magazines are a gift for my grandparents and I am relieved if these get delivered.

All I have received are a few emails in response to my queries, all assuring me that the magazine (including back issues) will be delivered.

I have not received a single issue so far. If an organisation takes my money & does not deliver what it promises, it is in my humble opinion - cheating or stealing.

India Today - either deliver my issues on time as promised with back issues/ extension of subscription, or else refund my money.
