[Resolved]  India Today Magazine — Non-Receipt of Free Gift even after 1 year

I have subscribed to "INDIA TODAY" for a period of 5 years through a Cheque # 859817(Syndicate Bank,S.D.Road, Secunderabad ).I was assured a free subscription gift- Adidas Outdoor Shoes within 12-14 weeks on commencement of subscription.
But 52 weeks later, there has been no response,reply or intimation of any sort about the free gift.

I have called up the customer care and spoken to Rosaline,Sapna, Rajender, Mohit, Abhishek Singh(executive customer care),Amitabh(executive customer care), at regular intervals.The standard reply i get everytime is "your gift will be dispatched in 2-3, 3-4 weeks time".
I am waiting for more than 1 year, and there is no sign of any free gift coming. Times Group executives..wake up and look into this.

Yes, I completely support this. I am 100% sure that Prevention are capable of making these kinds of frauds. I had taken a 2 yr subscription in the month of Nov 2009. There was a juicer free with the 2yr subscription plan. I tried mailing them several times. Their customer care is pathetic. The call never gets connected. The mailing facility is worse than the call facility. It's like there's a competition as to which service is more pathetic. I get lame answers each time I mail them. Everytime I get an automated response to the mail which says I will get my 'free gift' within 3-4 weeks from the day I receive their mail. It's been 1.5 yrs and i have still not received the gift. If it is dispatched, are the courier companies gulping it down or it's vanishing. Once, I get an automated response saying the above and then I get the response saying that the free gifts are over and that they are arranging one especially for me ( like hell i believe these fraudsters) and then again when I send a firing mail, they send me the same response saying its dispatched and I will be getting the gift within 3-4 weeks.

It's waste of time to go behind these people. Prevention people don't care about their customers. I even mailed the editor-in-chief and I still didn't get any reply. This shows how much they value their customers.

The wise thing to do is take the issue from the magazine stands than to subscribe if you don't want to loose your cool.

My subscription id is PREV1585185
