The salesmen assured that it would work on iphone as sony is one of the fee dealers who deals in lion - poly batteries which iphone 6 supports.

This has been my worst customer experience. No delivery of purchased products even after one week from the committed date of delivery. On 23rd Apr 2015, I have purchased a LG Fully Automatic washing machine and a USHA Honeywell cooler from Croma Store at Aditya City centre, Indirapuram, Ghaziabad (U.P.) I have made the full payment of Rs.30180 on 23rd Apr 2015. Invoice no: SLF02A[protected] For the past 1 week, I am following up with the croma store customer care centre (as I am unable to visit the store in person) regarding the delivery but except the false assurance that products will be delivered in 24 hours, it has been a complete waste of time and energy causing a lot of stress. Would have earned bank interest on the above amount for this period. The most shocking point is that not a single communication has come from them as to why products are not delivered and when, if at all the products will be delivered. I must say, very bad state of affairs. Shaurya uniyal Mobile : [protected]

Dear Sirs, Today evening I went to Croma at Velachery to buy Dell laptop model 3148 and had horrowing and bitter experience there which made me and my family not to go to Croma in future to buy any item. When I decided to buy the item, I requested the sales person to bring a new sealed box which he did. I asked him to open and check the laptop. He said that only after billing and payment, he will open the same. I asked him if it was found to be defective after opening the box, could he bring another one. He said that there was only one and it would take four working days to replace the same. i told him that was not fair. I told him that I did not ask for performance testing but to check there was no physical damage. He once again said that only after billing and payment, the box can be opened. I requested him to check with his manager. When we called upon the manager, he was not willing to hear our request and his behaviour was totally unfriendly. We (myself, my wife, mys son and d-in-law) all felt humiliated by him. The manager first should learn how to treat the customer. It was a great disappointment today. If one gets order through online, it is cheaper, but still we had gone to Croma expecting to get good service but it turned out to be worst experience. Is it that Croma is having lot of big clients and hence ignore small customers like me??? Regards S. Govindan [protected] [protected]@yahoo.com

with reference to my above service order your service engineer take my air conditioner on 24/04/2015 and assure to back within three days, but now on 30/04/2015 they abusing me and say they have not return my air conditioner, whatever I can do . Please look into the matter and arrange to deliver my A/C at earliest as possible. Now a days company like TATA dealing with their customer threatening.

Hi, I'm writing this mail because i tried of calling call center, talk with mangers and also with heads. After 2+ month of dealing with them i came to the conclusion that they are incapable of making phone calls and reaching out to customer before doing any changes in parts or status or writing mails(falsifying that customer has agreed since customer wont come to know what they have actually mailed). You see, I have bought Lenovo Ideapad S405 laptop from croma banshankri store with extended warranty of 2years. Since i was facing overheating issue i had called extended warranty service center on 21st Feb 2015 and registered my case(Id: [protected]). And they told me to submit my laptop at "COMPHERALS Acer Customer Service Centre". As per there request i had given my laptop there and after 5 - 6 days they called and mention its under observation please come and collect it. When i went through my laptop display was not working properly and it was giving graphic card error. So i checked my device manager setting and couldn't find my graphic card itself. Either it was missing or it was not detecting. So i gave them back mentioning these problems and told will be resolved soon. Soon after 5 days they called me again and i went there to check again. But this time they had formated my whole system and replaced my motherboard with i3 processor but my motherboard is "AMD Quad-Core A8-Series APU for Notebooks AMD A8-4555M APU with AMD Radeon HD 7600G" which is equivalent to i5 processor and still couldn't find my graphic card. When i asked them where is my graphic card. They are showing something which is not related at all just to prove that its there as if m non IT guy. After again 10- 15 days(20th April 2015) i called them and at that movement they are mentioning that my motherboard is not available. And i need to report it to support. After i reported my case and also submitted complaint about service center(SR[protected]. On 21st APR one head person(Amit: [protected]) called me did conferencing with service center, and mention that i should adjust with i3 processor, so i told him that my laptop is equivalent to i5 so i cant do that either give me same laptop or upgraded one. so he cam to conclusion that he ll give me brand new laptop since my laptop manufacturing has stop and mention that he ll give me 25k credit buy any laptop from croma store. I mentioned him that i have payed 36k for my laptop. Either you suggest me same configuration laptop which you can give or increase credit to what i have purchased. he asked me for 2 days of time for increasing of amount. After 2 days(24th APR) i only called him and he mention its been increased to 29k, still i said no thats not possible and he mention just visit stores and checkout the laptop with my configuration, gave Shashi croma([protected]) number to contact. I contacted him, he was on leave so he told me croma person will call me. And Laxshmi mam called me and told me to come and i mentioned that i ll come with in 7 - 8 PM. So she agreed and at about 7:45PM i went there and waiting for 1 hour and couldn't find anyone to assist me regarding this matter. when i called Shashi on his number its off and Laxshmi mam has gone home and when i called Amit he told that he ll call me tomorrow and let me know when i should come. And on Saturday(25th APR) when i called Amit 6 times and he mentioning that he is busy cant receive call or call back and Shashi is disconnecting my calls. And when i called customer support to know the status they mentioned me that Amit has told that i have asked for 2 days of time to decide, where as i never did so and also i have agreed for 15 days to wait and which was not at all mentioned to me and when i call Amit to confirm with him whats going on he is texting me "i ll call back", "having food" and "busy with some other important work". Problem Faced: 1. About 7 - 8 time i got message specifying that issue has been resolved from croma and i had to call them back and re-open the case. 2. Manipulation of parts(Service team change my motherboard and graphic card is missing ). 3. Neglecting customer calls and not updating status and also not mentioning or falsifying customer conversion. Things I have faced: 1. Traveling to service center 2-3 time. 2. Talking with customer service more then 30-40 time. And many of them dont understand itself what i m mentioning. 3. No mental peace. 4. No entertainment, no gaming, no music and also no work. 5. Laughed and teased by friends for you misbehavior and negligence. I don’t understand that every thing that has happened it is as per my convenience or is it a company dominating consumer just because of the policies that they have set. The behavior of the technician and the HOB has been worst One of the worst service that i have receive from the anyone And let me know if you can solve my issue with a day or not. Else i ll proceed to consumer since i have recorded most of the conversation. Regards, Abhijith([protected]@gmail.com).

In the month of Feb 2015 I had made a total shopping of INR 72, 933.05 on Croma store in Gurgaon Sohna Road. The sales executive had promised a flat 5% cash back on Axis bank cards. Now today when more than 2 months have passed and I did not receive any cashback, on raising a complaint they want me to settle with just INR 2500 whereas I should be getting INR 3, 647. It's like simply stealing Rs 1147 from a customer. I'd like to raise this to the appropriate forum and also make all other prospective customers be aware of such false promises. The store should pay the complete cashback as promised.

Dear Sir,

I have purchased a Sony DVD Player DVP-SR760 HDMI vide invoice # SLF02A[protected] on 12th April-2015.

The product was not available in store and we were told to collect if after two days.

On 15th my wife went for collecting the DVD from Croma-Woody Bangalore store.

Even after request she was not given any demo of the product.Later when we tried to start it we noticed that it is a faulty product and the CD player is not getting ejected.

We raised a service request with Sony India Vide ID 25015845.After repeated request Sony India's person visited our home and confirmed that the product is not working and to contact Croma or take the product to Sony service centre for servicing.

As this is a new product purchased by us so we will request the Croma-Woody Bangalore store to exchange the product which they refused to do.

This is a case o[censored]nfair business practice where the Croma stores refuses to show a demo to a woman customer and issued a faulty product and later again refuses to exchange it.

Please look into this and Croma should issue us an new DVD player to us or return us the full money paid by us for this purchase.

Thanks and Regards,

Siddhant

Hi Team, I have purchased SONY Bravia TV in September, 2015 during purchase I have been asked for to register for 2years extended warranty which will be supported by croma with fall promise. 8-10 days back My Tv suddenly got switched off and after restarting the tv, I could not see the picture instead I am seeing horizontal and vertical line. So on the same day I have registered complaint with Croma Extended Warranty Service Team. On very next day I got a technician from Sony visited our house and said that there seems to be internal damage but he clearly denied it to be any physical damage. He took some pictures of product and said he will update to Sony team. After 2 days I got call from Sony and the guy told that I have to bear the expense as the product has some internal damage. I told that its not a physical damage so company only need to bear the charges as mentioned in Croma extended warranty paper. Sony guy told he again will get back to me next day with the update.From that I did not get any response from anyone. From my end, I called almost everyday since Monday to Croma Extended Warranty help desk but every time I got response like server is down so could not get any update. But suddenly when I called today I got the response that My co0mplaint has been closed as Internal damage does not come under warranty service. This is so strange because I did not get any kind of notification from any one about closing this request. Help desk Team has given number for contact but the person seems to be not interested to pick up the call. I am seeking for help here...Stil If I do not get any satisfactory explanation why it has been closed and why service will not cover this damage which is not a physical damage then I may seek help from consumer court also as this is very frustrating with the service which I have got till now. Complaint Number : 165603 Thanks, Prashant

Hi I had bought a Croma Branded mobile set from Croma retail Bangalore Rajajinagar 1st block branch worth Rs.4999/-. It worked for one month properly. One fine day the mobile was fully discharged and next day morning I plugged into the charging. Never switched on. I tried charging the same again. But it was dead. I took it to croma service center and showed it to service technician. He opened the hand set and checked for any type of water damages. Then advised me to leave the hand set and he will call me after 2 working days. The call never came I called them back. But I got an answer saying he is checking with his service technician and will revert back. But I didn’t get his reply for another 2 days. Finally when I called again he said it is still under servicing the technician will call you. I never got a call from the technician. When again I repeatedly called the service center they told me that the mobile is water damaged. And it will cost approx. Rs.7000/- to Rs.7500/- it is better to buy a new mobile. When I tried convincing them no one wanted to listen. Finally they returned my handset with water damage. When the new mobile cost itself is Rs.5000/- how can he charge Rs.7000/- for servicing. I am very much disappointed with TATA Croma retail customer service. I need my money back or with a compensation equaling to the same value. Regards Lakshman

I have purchased a jabra talk Bluetooth headset from the fort Croma store on Sunday 5 April 2015 vide bill no. SLF02A[protected]. While purchase the instructions for buying were clearly given to the store representative that the device is required to be used while travelling on a bike and will be required to be worn inside a helmet. On basis o[censored]nderstanding the requirements the above referred device was suggested to be bought by the store representative Mr. Ahmed. On using the device on Monday I realised that the device will not be o[censored]se to me because the button for answering and rejecting a call is on the outside and is continuously depressed on account of it being in touch with the ear cushion of the helmet. I have approached the store today on Tuesday 7 April 2015. In order to get a replacement with some other suitable headset or some other electronic purchase or a cash back on account of this misselling by your store representative. We approach a store for such purchase to be guided by the persons there with respect to our requirements and then we are treated like this and are being told that it is not possible to replace the device since there is not manufacturing defect. What about selling it right to the customer and what about meeting the requirement of the customer in the first place. Kindly arrange to get me a replacement with an alternative device which meets my requirement or a store credit with which I can purchase another electronic item o[censored]se.

I have purchased croma mobile from Jay molies Nigadi PCNDTA, Pune Maharashtra 411019 on . Product details: SLF02A[protected] Croma 5Mob Quad Core CRCB2243 [protected] CROMA 14.12.2013 Store Thanks for providing facility of complaint online. I went to Croma to buy Samsung mobile. But based on the discussion with sales representative I purchased CROMA's mobile. The person explained that this is very good quality mobile and would best option for Samsung. Also brand name of TATA is there for quality and performance. I purchased this mobile on instalment basis and till today the instalments are continuing. After using this mobile I found that this is the worst product ever I have used. Note following issues: 1. Replacement of Mobile on the date of purchase: The mobile which I purchased was not switching on at the time of pre delivery inspection (PDI) at store. Hence they changed the mobile immediately. 2. Malfunctioning of touch screen: In the month of January 2014 the cell phone started malfunctioning. The panel on the bottom was not working. This resulted even non charging of mobile. Hence I had given the cell in store. These people just kept it as it is and returned after 15 days. Then I submitted the same to servicing centre that is 15 KM away from my residence. I had to visit twice to it due to mis communication by the centre representative. The mobile got repaired under warranty in 2 months. 3. Switching off problem: Now there is new problem I am facing. The mobile switches off automatically with very low impact. E.g when I keep mobile on any surface with that impact mobile gets switched off. I have emailed to customer support also. Now I want to know what should I do for the loss incurred by me ? I spent Rs.13000/- and getting any support from you. no mobile not getting battery in the market. will you help me or should I lodge complaint against the company in the consumer court / Please let me know your views

I had bought a LG washing machine from croma store and also taken a extended warranty for the same. In the extended warranty period the machine developed some problem and I am not getting the expected support from the Croma service(SR[protected] & claim#164217). On the first call the customer care said that you will be contacted by the extended warranty claims dept in 3 working days. From there i got the claim number and another 3 working days for the technical guys to call me. When i did not get the call, i contacted the customer care, there i got the response that they will call me and still no call or resolutino to my problem.

I have purchased Hitachi AC from Bhayander Croma store on 28th March 2015, at the time of purchase shop executive assured me that the installation will be done on 30th March, I have following it since 29th March and till date nobody from the co. has come for installation or demo. As commitment given the installation done on 30th March so didn’t go office also on that day. I continually following the same from the croma customer service but didn’t get proper response and solution. Also they block my mobile no also. I had full faith in Croma but now I am seriously doubting. The installation request number is BOW290315ID00741. I hope you will resolve it asap
