I RETURNED BACK THE BOOKS SENT TO ME TWICE OF ORDER FOR RS.525/- AND RS.699/- IN MARCH 2008 & JULY 2008 RESP. BUT TILL DATE I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE REFUND OF MY MONEY. EVERY TIME WHEN I HAVE ENQUIRED ON E-MAIL OR TELEPHONE ABOUT THE REFUND THE ANSWER WAS " YOU WILL RECEIVE THE REFUND WITHIN 45 DAYS". I SENT ABOUT 10 E-MAILS BUT I GOT ANSWER ONLY FOR ONE. AS THIS IS CLEAR FROM MY FIRST RETURN OF BOOKS THAT I AM NOT INTERESTED IN THESE OFFERS BUT THEY ARE SENDING THE BOOKS EVERY MONTH.
never purchase anythig from ITBC. it's simply a fraud...be aware
i am also a victim of itbc way of dangling carrots in their offer letters and invoices.when it comes to honour the offers no responsible person comes on line to give a proper reply.they simply advise to look into the great offers .com which never opens.without these offers also we may buy the books or other merchandise in the catalogues.this kind of instigating club members and disappointing them by indiatoday is highly regrettable .yesterday i teliphoned their office thrice .every time a new person came on line and like a parrot everyone said the same story-open the site and you will know the status.what i cannot undrstand is why can"t itbc despatch the offer along with the vpp?afterall no postman will part with the parcel without paying!sincerely hope itbc mends its ways and honours its commitment.
