[Resolved]  Indiatimes Shopping — Damaged product delivered - worst after sales help

Address:Gurgaon, Haryana

Through this post I wish to warn all online shoppers to stay away from Indiatimes Shopping. This year during peak winter season on Jan 4 2013 I placed an order for Bajaj oil room heater. The product was delivered after one week. When I opened the package the product was broken at multiple places. I made an immediate complaint and I was asked to send photos of damaged parts which I did. After this started the worst harassment I have gone through in shopping online. While I was expecting immediate replacement of damaged product to protect my family for cold weather, I was told that the damaged product cannot be picked before 8 working days and they gave a bizarre reason that courier personals are not available to pick the product. I called up Blue Dart (who had delivered the product) they told me they can pick the product immediately but they have no instructions from Indiatimes Shopping. I once bought a phone from Letsbuy.com which was damaged and they replaced it within 3 days with a new one without bothering to pick the damaged product which was picked later. It is shocking that Indiatimes claims to be the oldest in online retail business and their processes and customer services are completely out of tune with customer expectations. I would urge everyone to pay few bucks extra but shop from likes of Flipkart that have fantastic service track record. TOI group through its news paper and news channels claims to be a highly ethical group while in reality they are nothing but money minded businesses that lack any ethical practices.

Indiatimes Shopping — After sales support and customer service

INDIATIMES - A highly unprofessional company with extremely poor customer service with a bunch of stupid workforce serving customers over the phone.

My complaint no : 620630, i am now on the heights of my frustration with the products and customer services. the courier people doesn't take proper care of the goods while delivering...when order needs to cancelled and reverse pickup needs to be arranged, the highly inefficient bunch of workforce is unable to get the items picked up even after 10 days of the request raised.

Executive like BHAVNEET,ASHWANI, JYOTSNA, LAVNEESH AND ABOVE ALL - SATYATHIR – AN LEADING THE – call disconnection, unable to meet the deadlines, when calls need to be escalated the transfer is done to IVR, not listening to what the customer is asking, on hold wait time which can go beyond 10-15 min and what not… Basis the skills exhibited by the bunch, does this company has any rights to say to the customer to be professional on calls. OR if this is what the company call PROFESSIONALISM.
Carbon rims are popular with cyclists because of their exceptionally lightweight, strong characteristics and their capacity to provide a consistent and reliable braking surface.Maintaining carbon rims properly can ensure that your carbon rims live up to the light, strong and long-lasting credentials that carbon rims are known for.One way to maintain carbon wheels is by cleaning them regularly. 1 Uninstall the wheels from the bicycle frame. Use a cone wrench to loosen the bolts that fasten the wheel to the bicycle frame.Suspend your bike in a rack and drop the wheels out of the mounting surface to adequately access the entire carbon bike rims http://www.yoeleo.com/rims.html . 2 Remove any embedded particles on the carbon rims, including small stones or metal debris by poking at it with a point tool such as a metal rod.Debris commonly gets embedded in wheels over time from the road and elements as you ride. 3 Identify discolorations, tacky-feeling areas and smears on the surface of the wheel. Run your fingers along the circumference of the rim's brake surface to feel for width variations and changes in texture.Changes in texture indicate areas that need cleaning, such as parts with brake-pad glazing. 4 Scuff the entire wheel's circumference lightly with a scouring pad, starting from the valve hole. Focus on the areas with texture variation and discoloration.Follow a vertical cleaning motion against the direction of wheel rotation on both sides of the rim until all discolorations, tacky areas and smears are removed. 5 Wipe the wheel surface with acetone or denatured alcohol.Apply the acetone or denatured alcohol on a clean cotton rag and rub against the wheel until there are no dark-gray dirt deposits on your cleaning rag.Carbon bike wheelsets http://www.carbonrimssale.com/wholesale-carbon-wheels.html deposit dark surface material when they're not clean.
