Croma Complaints & Reviews

I purchased an Electolux Refrigerator from Croma retail, Sadishiv Ngr, Bangalore on 25th May 2014, wide Invoice number SLF02A[protected]. The product came with 2 years product warranty and we additionally purchased 2 years extended warranty. On 8th of June 2015 the product stopped working and we fled a complaint with Croma service center (SR[protected] and SR[protected] & BOS110615FS00007). No progress till date and we are being told that they are trying to resolve between Electrolux and Croma. However, we are being harrased in the process with no service. Any help and more importantly a legal action would be highly appreciated. Extremely poor service and 0 ownership. All support professionals are making false promises of call backs but no help. Thanks

I bought a water purifier of eureka forbes Aquaguard (RO+UV+TDS) worth Rs 16, 574/- on 7th June 2015 from croma (R Mall Thane). It was been informed to us that installation will be done in 48 hours by the professional and the same is mentioned in the installation manual of the product. Now it's almost a week and no one has turned up. We tried calling both Croma as well as Eureka forbes but both of them keeps on telling that the other one will send a person to install the same. Eureka forbes Complaint # : 92086345 Croma Complaint # : BOW130615ID00269 I was informed by chroma call center to install it myself... Now we do not want to install the product and want our money back as, It's not gauranteed that if the product doesn't work properly in furture or if any service is required then these people will turn up or not. Kindly provide the solution as soon as possible. My Personal Details : Renuka Naik Contact # : [protected]

I have bought a washing machine (videocon model VS75Z11 7.5kg) on 07/06/2015 and got delivery on 08/06/2015 with wrong model. Since from that day I have put complaint with the customer centre and every day getting time of 24 hours to resolve the issue. Croma knows only to sell product and harrrase customers and dont know to resolve issues made by croma.

I have taken a croma split ac in aug 2013 with 2 years warrenty.and after few months it started water leakage. I called customer care they sent their executive.He came and check and said now all ok but after 2 days leakage again stated and same process going on from last 1 n half years.Now i complaint almost more than 25 times for same problem but noone is bothered.Now warrenty comes to at its end after that they must deny for entertainment of my problem.Plz do somrthing. I want croma exchange my existing ac or extend my warrenty.

We bought an Optima Croma Oven around 2 months and there seem a manufacturing fault in the temperature control. I haven logged three complaints and haven't heard anything yet. I am totally frustrated with croma and would never recommended any to buy from Croma. Third class service, we face the same issue last year eith our Kent ro filter bought from Croma .

To, The Staff Management, Croma Center I (Monika Sharma) had purchased Sumsang Joy Plus Full HD 32" inch LED through Mr. Manav from your "Croma Center Inderapuram Ghaziabad" on 2/5/2015 . The next day i.e. 3/5/2015 a person from your center came and installed the LED at my place. After installation when i watched the LED I found many black spots. I immediately talked Mr. Manav through whome i had purchased this LED. I had a word with him and he kept on telling me that I will send somebody to check your LED but he didn't. After calling him a number of times my complaint was not heard . Then on 28th May 2015 finally a person from Sumsang came and checked the LED. He also found those black spots in it, and said he can get it repaired and not replaced. I told him to get it replaced as I had recently purchased this LED and it was in the warranty period. I told him that the Croma Center have cheated us either they shown us a different LED and delievered a different one or there was a problem beforehand in this LED about which they did not tell us and this is the resion why when I called a number of times they people did not listen to my complaint . When I did not agreed on getting the LED repaired the service Person made me talk from his cell phone to one of the persons from Customer Service. He started pressuring me to get my LED repaired as it is the policy of the company that we cannot get it replaced we can only repair it. While Mr. Manav had said whenever you have any kind of problem in your LED I assure you I will also get it replaced, but now nor the Croma Center Inderapuram Ghaziabad and neither THe Sumsung Company is taking any responsibility. I had taken this LED after taking loan from "Capital Finance" and you people have shown sach an irresponsible behaviour. Next day i.e on 29th May 2015 one of my friend went to meet Mr. Manav in your croma centre to talk regarding the LED but very casually he said what is the problem when your LED is repaired and he said that one more customer had this same problem but he also got his LED repaired. This clearly shows that this Croma Center situated in Inderapuram Ghaziabad cheats its customers as they provide deffective electrical appliances to its customers and where even new products need repairing even when the products are in their warranty period.on the other hand the customer support services of Samsung company is making an excuse that it is the policy of the company that we cannot replace it we can only get it repaired . It is quit strange and surprising as well that a prestigious company called Samsung can do such a thing where on purchasing a new electrical appliances we get defective pieces and then we are asked to get it repaired insted of getting it replaced. today (8/6/2015) two month have complete of purchasing this LED but till today neither the Samsung Company nor the Croma Centre is taking any responsibility for replacemnt of this LED.When I tell the Customer Service representative that I will sent a mail to the company regarding my complaint they tell me not to do as we are filing your complaint but I hav'nt recive any servicer till now. After calling Mr. Manav also a number my complant was not heard, Then after a number of days a person from the service centre finally came and made an excuse after seeing the LED that it's been a month now since you purchased this so we cannot get it replace. On 6/June/2015) I have recomplend on ur service Centre and today (8/6/2015) sent you this mail also to make you aware about how your Samsung customer are being cheted. It is my humble request to the Samsung Company as well as to the Croma Centre Inderapuram Ghaziabad that T cannot bear any more mental stress which I have been facing right from the day I purchased the Samsung LED. Once again I request to please get my LED replaced and and if you do not do so I consider it a matter of cheating and frogery and file a case against your company in the Consumer Court. I would be greatful to you if you could take the right desicion on time keeping in mind the prestige of your Company as soon as possible. Thanking You Your Sincierly Monika Sharma [protected] [protected]

Problem : Doors are not proper, it is making noise and glues are not fixed correctly(glossy door sheet/mat). I Had bought a new refrigerator from Croma in the month on Jan[protected] and within 2-3 days noticed the issue, also raised a complaint. 1. Samsung took too long to bring top and bottom doors. pls note : I had refused to replace both doors since those were worst than the current one. 2. Croma raised one more case, BOS010315FS00006 and closed it saying customer was not available though I had clearly updated my availability. 3. Samsung technicians came with both doors and replaced them even though I had refused to replace it again(by saying you need to raise one more complaint and we will replace a good part). 4. While replacing top door, the samsung technician ruined display panel(attaching the photos). 5. Now Bottom door is fine but top door and display panel has to be replaced. 6. I have received an SMS from Samsung saying, I had refused to pay the charge for the parts hence they had closed it. Does it make sense when the product is in warranty and no physical damage from the customer ? 7. Even the last complaint also closed without any solution(solution is next step they did not even bother to contact the customer and tried to work on it)

washing machine purchased from bangalore store on 24.6.12 is not functioning.presently i am in Hyderabad, mail sent to customer care 4 days back and talk to customer care thrice . but no action has been taken. there is defect in panel board. bill detail; SLF02A[protected], MODEL NO, TL6KGFACRAW1105. contact detail; [protected]-hyderabad registered mobile no -[protected]- bangalore (not in use) kindly solve the problem. it is very urgent

Hello, I had purchased Croma LED (99cm) from Croma store at Goregoan - East (Oberoi Mall) on 24th May. And it was delivered by the next day i.e on 25th May, the installation guy (Vijay Yadav) came on 26th May, and found that brackets to install the TV on the wall were missing, so the next day I registered the complaint for the same, but there has been no resolution for my issues since as of 3rd June. It is the third time I have launched the complaint on Croma customer care number, and again I got the same answer i.e the issue would be resolved within 2 working days like the last two times, Please do look onto the matter and deliver the missing brackets of the LED TV as soon as possible so it can be installed. Had high hopes for Croma customer service, but was very disappointed.. Complaint id: SR[protected]

Its been 21 days and 3 complaints (both via email as well as telephonic) to Tata Croma regarding my Croma brand 1.5 ton AC currently running in extended warranty that i have not received a SINGLE phone call from their service center. To top it, i have received - twice - SMSes that my complaint has been resolved!! What's the big point of repairing the AC later if the you make us suffer in this scorching heat of Mumbai summer. Earlier problems erupoted 2 months back that were mended but again cropped up. Essentially a pathetic product with even more pathetic service. Have spoken many times to their tele executives, floor managers and written many times to their customer support but have not been able to elicit any kind of response what-so-ever. Frankly, Croma's service wasn't this bad earlier but now it is probably worse than any other company Complaint numbers are SR[protected], SR[protected], MUM010615FS00080 2 previous ones were resolved after some deliberations but as i can see, not much was done. regards Ashirwad Pareek

They dont care for their customers after selling the product. Very bad after sale service experience. Date of purchase:15th June 2014 Product description: 1.5 Ton window AC Brand name: Croma Problems faced: AC doesn't cool at all because of gas leakage. Response from customer support team on 21st May: the product needs to be sent for repair and will be picked up within 2-3 days and then delivered back in another 2-3 days. Visited the Dwarka store in New Delhi and was advised it'll be sorted by 30th. Its been 7 days no has came to pick up the AC for the repair. Customer service doesn't respond. People at Croma store says they can't do anything the only information that they have is the status of the request and it just says OPEN. They provided the number of store manager Mr. Ranjeet ([protected]) but got no help from him as well. Its only 11 months old and the product is having multiple issues but no one is willing to help. I have spent ₹29000 for something that i cant use and the company doesnt care at all. I am now left with the only option which is to take this issue further and report the same to the consumer forum.

We purchased this Croma Split AC 2 years back with extended warranty of +2 years. From the time we have installed the AC have been facing multiple technical issues with respect to hardware. Generally we use AC during Summer’s & with in 3-4 days it starts displaying E1 error, which was beyond understanding to the Engineers in the beginning. The harassment starts when we file the complaint, which nearly takes 3-4 working days to send an Engineer at the place to check the problem, which means we have to sleep in the hot summer nights without AC. After that Engineer came refilled Gas and said it will be fine, but he failed. Again after 2 days we have to filed another complaint, which again took 3-4 working days to send an Engineer. We visited store but was of no help. After few days the Senior Engineer came and replaced the PCB of the AC, which worked fine only for few days. Our Warranty have expired recently and now the AC is under Extended Warranty. What I don’t understand is that, when the product is unrepairable and giving so much technical problems, why cant it be replaced with a new one??? What is the meaning of WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY, which we got at the time of Purchase?? Is it just you keep on fixing it for the time span till the warranty expires, & after that its Customers problem. This was a first experience of buying a Croma product, which was assumed to be a good Brand (A TATA PRODUCT), but feels very disappointed and frustrated with the experience I had after installing the same. I have been visiting the Croma store multiple times, now received an update that the spare part is coming form MUMBAI and will take again 8-10 days??? Seriously… I don’t want any more repairs because I have had enough of this product, The whole summers have gone filling complaints and running to store to get the AC fixed. since last 2 years I have cooperated a lot with all your team members but its enough for now. I just request you to please take this AC back, as its of no use to me. The AC is continuously showing E1 error. PCB has been replaced with a new one also, which didn’t work. Now, kindly take serious action during my remaining warranty period left, as we just use it during the Summers only. AS THE PRODUCT HAS BEEN DEFECTIVE FORM THE TIME OF INSTALLATION, KINDLY INITIATE A REFUND OF THE PRODUCT OR ATLEAST MAKE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PRODUCT!! The Details are as below: Date of Purchase: 07th April 2013 Invoice no : SLF02A[protected] CUSTOMER NAME: PRIYA AJIMAL CUSTOMER MOBILE NO : [protected] CURRENT SERVICE ORDER NO: PUN220515FS00013 PREVIOUS SERVICE ORDER NO: PUN280315FS00006; PUN010714FS00002; PUN180614FS00011; PUN240413FS00011; PUN080413ID00025 WE REALLY SEEK YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER, AS THERE HAS BEEN NO ONE TO HELP US IN THIS, NEITHER YOUR CUSTOMER CARE OR YOUR STORE EXECUTUIVES. Awaiting for your prompt and favorable response. Thanks & Regards, Priya Ajimal

This is regarding my complaint number CHN210515FS00004. I registered this complaint on 21st May. Till now I have not received any call from the Technician. Every time I call Croma Helpdesk, they say the issue will be resolved within 24 HRS...I guess they have a different meaning for 24 HRS..Is this the way how you treat your Extended Warranty customers. Hugely disappointed and I promise this is my last Croma product. Thanks.

I purchased a new phone sony experia E4 from belapur navi Mumbai store on 20 May and the salesperson haroon asked me to get another sim from your store as the phone had dual SIM option and referred me to Mr irfan. I provided him all the documents and he gave me SIM no. [protected] and I provided him 250 rupees also and till date SIM is not activated inspire of repeated reminders.

Sir, I have two Croma 1.5 Ton ACs . Compressor of one of them switches ON for 2 minutes and then does not cool. I had booked the complaint on 06 May 15 as quoted in the subject line. Your service team has visited twice and say that the compressor needs to be taken to the service centre. No one has turned up to collect the AC or carry out on site repair. I have been waiting since the last 20 days without the AC functioning. When do you think my AC could be repaired???? I have always trusted TATA products and this time the reputed company has not come up to my expectations. May I request an early repair of my AC in this hot weather. Thanking You in anticipation.

I bought JBL speakers from online website and they asked me to go to a far store to pick it up. I did drive 30 km to this store to pick up this product however, as per your manager over there, it is not in stock, Please provide an explanation that why I was being sent to the store if it is not available. The manager is not responsible enough to provide me a solution or alternative. I did call the customer care however, that is another pathetic experience i faced with Croma when the executive put on hold for 10 minutes and never got back and hung up without answering my query. I have no other option after personally meeting the croma store manager and calling Customer care, and both failed to provide me an answer that how can i get the product I paid for. Please treat this as a complaint and escalation to higher management for irresponsible behavior from Ghatkoper store as well as customer care on 1800 number. Also, let me know how the product will be delivered to me. order Ref. No. 196973 invoice no. SLA035EC0000190

I had purchased One AC from CROMA vide Invoice No.SLF02A[protected] dated 18.05.2015. (i) It was assured to me this AC will be installed within one or two days of purchase. For that purpose I have taken two days leave on 20.05.2015 & 21.05.2015. On both days, no body tried to contact me. Even I have contacted Unit Manager Mr Saurabh Saxena at his mobile No.[protected], Danvee at his landline No.[protected], 4296504, Customer Care at Number[protected] & lodged complaints three or four times from the same mobile Number [protected]. Even I lodged complaint at Customer care via mail/Registered Complaint Redressal mechanism vide complaint Number DEL1905151D0004. After One week, AC person has come & told me that AC Is defective. It means that before clearance of same it was not tested OK. How this sent to me without proper checking. AC pressure knob of COMPRESSOR is not working (free to move). There is no gas in the AC. (ii) Now on my talks with Mr Danvee at Number [protected], 6590692, [protected] through Saurabh Saxena, He is saying we have tried to contact but your number was not reachable during last week. if my mobile number is not reachable how I would have lodged complaints at various contact numbers of CROMA PERSONS i.e [protected], [protected], 6590692, 4296504, [protected] through the same mobile number. In return I have received calls from CROMA persons i.e[protected]Virender),[protected], 6590691. It is clear he is making me fool. (iii) AC box contains the date of receipt of same in store as 05.05.2014, it seems that some defective piece was lying in the store and the same is supplied to me. (iv) It seems that AC was not tested "OK" before despatch/clearance from the manufacturing unit as the knob of Compressor is free i.e not working (v)I have lodged complaints at Customer Care three or four times. even a single confirmation has neither been received nor status of same is showing at the complaint website (vi) Now Mr Danvee is saying it will take next 48 hours to respond by technical team and thereafter It will take further 48 hours to take action accordingly. IT IS JUST LIKE FUNCTIONING OF A GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT where no response comes. (vii) I mailed at the personal e-mail IDs of Mr Ajit Joshi, cpmistry etc. but no response has been received so far. I WILL BE HIGHLY THANKFUL IF YOU TAKE ACTION AGAINST THESE ERRING PEOPLES LIKE DANVEER STORE MANAGER OF CROMA & ARRANGE FOR REPLACEMENT OF DEFECTIVE AC. FROM: SUSHIL KATHURIA [protected]

I had bought a CROMA refrige in Oct 2013.But ever since had bought it its always had problems. The 1st times had called technician when it was still in warranty period I was told the problem in the fridge is because of me n that I had to bear the expense, WHICH I readily did. The 2nd problem arose a few months back when I had to repeatedly remind CUSTOMER SERVICE that the technician had not visited my place then when he actually did they took 3-4 days to get the fridge picked up[again after repeated reminders] n lastly they forgot to deliver.After repeated complains I got a call from their headoffice and my fridge was delivered without being charged anything.NOW within 3 months another problem.THE DOOR OF THE SAME FRIDGE FELL OFF THE Main UNIT.Never before have I heard tht within a span of 18months a fridge has given so many problems.The technician again has conveniently put the blame on me saying its my fault and I am responsible for bearing the charges for replacement of door.I got a SMS [mind you only an SMS no call from anybody] fr them saying it will take time for repairs.Never have I exprienced such bad after sales service in fact ZERO CONSUMER SATISFACTION ZERO PRODUCT QUALITY. I request you to look into the matter at the earliest.I feel I should get a replacement now because I have no patience to complain again and again because I am convinced that its a FAULTY PIECE
