Shopping. Indiatimes.com — Wrong Product Delivered. No Refund. No Cancellation. No Status Update.

Address:North West Delhi, Delhi

Hi,
My name is Rohan Prakash and my order number is [protected]. I must say, I am highly dis-satisfied and sorry for the wrong word, but highly pissed of with the services offered by shopping.indiatimes.com. First, my order was delayed. And all the while I wanted to know the status of my order, the server was down. The customer care people were not just blunt but rude and insulting. Then I got the wrong item delivered. After that when I asked for cancellation and refund, I was told that first, a courier guy would come to give me a kit within 2-3 days and then after another 2-3 days, another guy would come to pick the item. For over 10 days, no courier guy came and when I called again after two weeks, I was told that they have run in dispute with their courier partner and that I should courier it myself. Was it not even their responsibility to even inform me of this? Anyways, I couriered and had my AWB number attached to my complaint. Now, its been more than 15 days and I have no update about my cancellation neither have I received my money. The online chat doesn't work because nobody replies and the phone is forever on wait. And no whenever I call they either say to wait for 24-48 hours or they say that there is some technical error and they cannot help and I should call after 3 hours.

Besides this, their facebook page is also nothing more than fraud. Whenever you post a message or comment in which you write about your problem, they would delete the comment and then block the user from writing again. This is highly annoying. Yesterday I received a mail that I should update the AWB number again. I didn't remember and I took the AWB number by calling their customer care number. I don't understand how in 1 record they have my AWB number and in another they don't. Not only this, yesterday it was the fifth time that the person said he has cancelled my order and it would be done in 10hours maximum. Its been more than 24hours and there is no update. The person today said that it is not cancelled and it will be taken up by the complaint department and then they would cancel.

I never thought that indiatimes.com are nothing but thieves and scams. I am never buying from this useless worthless website again. I have been tyring to get my money back since more than a month but it seems, i should forget it now.

Indiatimes — Wrong product sent & money not refunded for more than a month

I had ordered the product from Indiatimes, Order number & had received the wrong product .
I immeadiately called Indiatimes for a replacement but they said talk to the vendor, the contact number of the vendor provided by Indiatimes was wrong, after calling the courier company they gave me the vendor number, when I called the vendor, he said send the product back. I had to spend my money to courier the product back to the vendor & he received the product next day & promised me to send the correct product next day
That did not happen & I did not receive the product, again I called the vendor & he said that he does not have the product.
WHY DOES INDIATIMES DISPLAY THE PRODUCT ON THE WEBSITE IF THE VENDOR DOES NOT HAVE STOCK!!!!

I told him that I want my money back, he said cancel the order with Indiatimes & I will get my money back
Called Indiatimes & they gave me cancellation number 230656 & told me that I will get my refund in 3 days
Did not get the same & called Indiatimes so many times everyday & got assurance that money will be refunded
Until 7th May, when I called, I was told that the order cannot be cancelled
I was not told till then that order cannot be cancelled, I wanted a refund as I had ordered the product for gifting to my husband on 23rd April, in absence of which I bought another product from the market
WHY DOES INDIATIMES GIVE WRONG INFORMATION TO THE CUSTOMERS, IS YOUR STAFF NOT QUALIFIED ENOUGH??
On 1st of May I received a call from the courier company that there is a parcel from Teknix which I refused as I had already cancelled the order with Indiatimes having also received the cancellation number 230656
Again after a few days I received the same product which I had sent back, still not the correct product, anyways I don’t want the product now!!
Since 7th May I have been speaking with Mr Amit Kumar & Vikas Jha & they kept assuring me that the order will be cancelled & the vendor will arrange for a pickup & I will get a refund in 3 working days, but still on 5th May, I am receiving a mail stating your order is shipped
INDIATIMES IS JUST TRYING TO CHEAT THE CUSTOMERS AND FOOL THEM
Also, several times I spoke to Amit Kumar & he told me that I will get an update in 10 minutes
His 10 minutes are still not completed & I have still not received any call. Every time I call on his number, he does not pick up or disconnect the call. same is the case with Mr Vikas Jha
INDIATIMES KEEP ON GIVING WRONG INFORMATION AND PROMISES TO THE CUSTOMER WITHOUT ANY RESOLUTION

14th May, I spoke to Mr Alok & he told me that I will get a call in 30 minutes & was unable to reach Mr Amit Kumar even after so many phone calls.
Still not received any call & hence sending this mail as a final escalation
Again sending this mail as I have still not get a response from India times
When tried to contact Amit Kumar & Mr Vikas Jha, they are never reachable

If Indiatimes has even little bit of dignity & self respect then at least reply to mails or call back
Just now I called Indiatimes number & asked the person to put me on to Vikas Jha or Amit, he reverted he cannot transfer
What the hell does Indiatimes think customers are??????????????
Also, he was not speaking a word & put me on MUTE after sometime & then disconnected the call
I was promised on 27th May by Mr Vikas Jha that I will get my money back & the order has been cancelled & the stupid person on the call today(customer service) number told me that the product has been sent to me!!!
I have still not received any update from Indiatimes on my money & everytime I call, they say they will update me, but never update me. Now they are not even picking the calls
It has been more than a month now & there is no update from indiatimes & have not received my money back
Also mails sent to them are not replied
Still not received refund & now indiatimes state that order cannot be cancelled
& the CSRs are so rude that they do not even talk to us & disconnect the call
If there is someone from Indiatimes reading this or this message going to Indiatimes, its a shame on them
Indiatimes shopping is totally fraud and cheat.

I send mony for Sigmatel S400 handset, but different, defective, non-working, dead mobile was sent by Teknix. As per advice from Indiatimes, I sent back the mobile 4 times, but each time Teknix returned the box without opening it. The pesons do not respond to phone call.

Now the dead phone is lying with me !!! Everyone is advised to avoid the trap of Indiatimes Shopping.
I have also sent numerous mails to all the email addresses that they gave me, excalations, customerservice and operationhead but their has been no response whatsoever.
