Croma Complaints & Reviews

I am shocked to see the approach/behaviour of Tata Company. We had bought Glen Cook Top with extended warranty in March 2012. In Dec 2013, we observed certain issue and have been chasing them since then. I would recommend not to buy any product or extended warranty from Croma. We visit Croma regularly only because of High Trust it carries with its name, now which has been butchered by them. Naam Bade, Darshan Khote...

I brought a Samsung plasma TV invoice number: SLF02A[protected] in Hyderabad banjarahills. 3 months back it had an issue and since it is on extended warranty, i registered a complaint. they closed it with out resolving it. Second i opened it again in December 2013. They outsourced it to a company called rontronics. They picked up the TV and mentioned that a panel has to be replaced and will be done in 1 week. it has been more than 3 months the only reply i get is it will be delivered in 1 week time. FYI it is still not delivered. SOme of the highlights: The customer service guys call you every 3 days to say that we are sorry for inconvenience. The workshop guys say the part is very rare, so it is taking time(not sure if they sell my working parts). Please let me know how to file a complaint against these guys who left me with so much pain after taking lot of scoldings from my family for buying from Croma.

After the lucrative free gift I bought the Mac book pro but did not received after 30 days.I have purchased the product on 28.12.2013 for the new year to enjoy with my family. But there is no feed back from the croma retail out let .They said the product can be deliver after reaching to them. After visiting the croma store 4-5 times I have decided to have the complain. After the complain the had taken 5 days and the below mail comes for solving the matter.But its already near to 40 days and they are harassing the people like this.I request all my reader to avoid croma retail for any such deals for purchase any product. Please find the mail from the manager too... Dear Mr. Pranab, This is in reference to the offer extended on purchase of Macbook in Marathahalli during Christmas. First of all sorry for the inconvenience caused to you, waiting for the Denon Speaker for so many days. My kind apology on behalf of me and my team.

I purchased a Panasonic LED TV(42ET60D) from Croma showroom, Panjagutta Hyderabad on 18th of Jan-2014. they have sent me the product on 19th-Jan but with the wrong Wall mount bracket.i have raised many complaints to send me the correct one but its been 2 weeks and my TV is still in the box sitting on the floor. Every day i end up call Croma and the only answer i get is"Your issue will be resolved by tomorrow" Invoice No-SLF02A[protected]

Bill No.: SLE001EC0008569 Comments: 1) Bought a Samsung LED TV from Croma online. The Manufacturer is running a freebie campaign in form of Skype camera. The freebie was not delivered. 2) Tried raising the same complaint on customer care number. Spoke to Gurminder and the Floor manager. They both refused to raise a complaint for the same. 3) After much negotiation a complaint was raised, but not for the actual issue. A frivolous complaint against employees was raised, which was not my intention. 4) On insisting that I get a complaint number, I was told that a complaint cannot be registered! Without citing any reason for not raising the compliant. 5) I would just like to add that I bought this product from Croma depending heavily on the brand name and illusion of security that comes with that. But I am sadly disappointed by the service provided and I do not think I will shop at Croma again

Dear Team,

I has purchased a Morphy Richards Steam Iron Wave 300 from Bhayander Croma (Next to Maxus Mall) store.

Date : 29th December 2013.

I just open the box & found that I have been given a product which has got Defective product Return tag.

I am attaching three photograph showing Product details, Defective product Return tag & Serial Number.

This is absolutely unacceptable & unethical selling practice.

I am completely cheated by Croma Store.

I traded in 2 old smart phones (good condition) for 2 new Apple 4S mobiles at Croma store, Sohna Road. I was offered only 1500 rupees per phone even after requests for better deal. Details of Traded Phone 1) Nokia Lumia 510 2) Blackberry Curve 6300 My friend traded in Blackberry curve 9320 next day at croma store sector 29, Gurgaon for Rs5500/-. I feel that I have been cheated. I demand stern action and resolution to this issue. Regards, Ankush

I have purchased a washing machine from croma store, R city, Ghatkopar on 15th Jan at 1:42 P.M. It got delieved on 16th Jan. A company representative came for Demo and opened the packing, post which he and I realized that the machine is damaged. There is a dent on the back-side of the washing machine. I had immediately registered a complaint with Croma's call centre. No one from Croma/Samsung visited to inspect the damage. Today, I have been continuously following up with the call centre executives but have not received any concrete response from their end. Now, I have a damaged machine with me for which I have paid a hefty amount of Rs. 16350 which includes a warranty but now I am wondering about the future of that warranty also seeing the kind of pathetic response I have received. Same product was available at other retail stores also at the same price, but we trusted croma because of the TATA brand. But i am sorry to say that given the response that I have received I have lost respect for the brand.

Never buy any product from Croma Retail Store as they sell repaired handset as new. I bought Sony Xperia mobile from Croma in month of April, 13 and after 6 months of purchase when I was facing problem with handset & visited Sony service center I was shocked to know that the same handset has came to repair not once but twice before my purchase. When I contacted the Croma store it was more shocking to know that the Branch Manager is admitting the mistake & justifying this issue as normal sale practices of Croma. So I moved to Consumer court for the fraud happen with me & the process still going on in Croma. Divyesh Invoice No. : F02A[protected]

It's been the worst experience shopping with croma online I feel cheated 1. Croma's mistake number one delivering a WRONG PRODUCT. 15 dec 2013 I've ordered for philips ipod dock speaker DS1150 through online payment made on 15 dec 2013 On 19 dec 2013 I received a wrong product delivered philips AJ7030D within 30 minutes of receiving the product I've sent a mail with the snapshot of the wrong product, the product ordered, invoice on 19 dec 2013 2. Croma's mistake number two NOT arranging a REVERSE PICK UP even after 18 days. as per croma procedure should arrange for a reverse pick up within 48 hrs of delivery. From 19 dec 2013 onwards I've made made more than 20 calls in the past 18 days and sent multiple emails without proper response and so far no arrangement had been made from croma. 3. Croma's mistake number three asking me TO DELIVER the PRODUCT at a Croma store to get MY MONEY BACK. Till 3 jan 2014 croma kept making false promise that someone will pick up the product within 24hrs everyday when I made call toll free number[protected]. They never arranged for a pickup the worst part is they never made a sincere effort or bothered to call me and inform me about the delay in pickup, on 3 jan 2014 I spoke to the FLOOR SUPERVISOR mr. Ashok Chandon who promised to arrange for pickup within 24hrs that was never arranged, now on 6 Jan 2014 Ashok says over the phone not ready to send a eMAIL which is NOT PROFESSIONAL even though I insisted on sending me a mail that I have to deliver the product at a Croma store the baddest service from is that till now they don't bother to call me or ready to respond to my mails Now I need a mail from croma stating that I need to deliver the product at a croma store Can anybody help me get my money back as nothing that they say over phone can be trusted and they are not ready to send mail communication Thanks Enoch

Hi, I ordered LG Optimus G Pro GSM Mobile Phone (White) SKU: 178372, on Dec 13, 2013, My order no. is SLE002EC0002056. I purchased this product because of good configuration shown on website (having 32 GB internal memory) and good price and my trust on TATA group. But because of small money they have broken my trust. The product I purchased and the product I have received are different as I ordered for 32 GB Phone model but I received 16 GB model. (see attached snapshot of website) When I complaint, they called me and told very rudely that They will not change product as they have only 16GB model. Kindly help as I purchased this phone because of 32 GB internal memory only. Regd. Jyotsna Verma

Respected Sir/Madam, I have ordered (Order No. SLE003EC0001542) successfully Micromax FunbookPro P500 on 10-Dec-13 and after three days they are calling and saying that product is not available and requesting to cancel the order. I said that I have committed to my daughter as am gifting for her coming birthday but they said that we checked in their warehouses but the product is not available. I requested many times and then they said that will recheck with all other warehouses and let you know the status. Today (16-December-2013) I called customer care[protected] to ask the status of my order and the status is same they still crying on phone that product is not available. Again I explained to them my situation and after that they said will check again and also let you know the alternate solution If we can. My concern is only that If the product is limited then why Croma listed their product on website If not in stock and why their are confirming the orders without checking the product. I don't want to cancel my order. If not possible to arrange my ordered product I request Croma to arrange the product as compare to my product thats all. Thanks. Waiting for positive response. Thanks and Regards, Mansoor

I’m writing to inform the pathetic experience with croma. I bought a croma refrigerator (product code: 162336) on 30/10/2011. On Thursday, August 22, 2013 6:34 PM i contacted the customer support and i consequently got in touch with the store manager (Nungambakkam branch, Chennai). He confirmed that he would raise the issue and the same would be rectified within 15 days. However after repeated calls, I was informed that it would take 20-25...

I had brought Croma iPad Mini Slev White on 04/10/2013 from Dahisar Croma store but within a month it was not functioning properly, after complaint to costumer care inform me to go store near by me and they will assist you but at the store they told me to go Borivali infinity customer service center so next day I went that address but the care center found close so next 2-3 days same thing happen again I went to Croma store and told about then they took my tab and they had sent it service canter and ask to wait for 7-10 days, but after 10-12 over still there are no progress and told me to, it will take another 10 days, this is unacceptable why I have to wait for so many days if the product from Croma has not good quality and which is newly brought, if the product is not going repair within time line then it should be replace with new one. Now it is 20 days over but no use. Think before you buy CROMA Product... Worst Product and Worst Service

Dear sir. I buy tab mobil from croma mall khar ghar on 27 oct 13 and due to screen damag tad mobil is not working. I visit to kharghar croma centre for defect repair as per croma warranty for one year. They send to servic centre for repair and charges 3500 inr which already paid. But till now they have not repair croma tab mobil. I have taken croma product on the name of tata but I think this servic is also like other product in market.

I have faced the worst experience with Croma Customer care. I bought this Whirlpool Washing Machine with extended warranty from Eva Mall store in Bangalore. Now my machine is still under extended warranty and I have called their 1800 number 100s of times...First day they made me call to xtended warranty department where a girl called 'Neha' responded after 10 minutes and she hung up within seconds..!! No communication at all... After that I called Croma cust care again and registered my complaint, this time they said complaint number cannot be generated as the server is down..!! Wot the hell... I told them my address, all details and its the third day now and I haven't got ANY call from any one..ridiculous.. Today again when I called up their cust care, I wanted to speak to the manager and the guy was not listening...when I insisted he made me hold the call for another 5 minutes only to say the Manager is busy...WORST SERVICE EVER...!!

This is with reference to invoice SLF02A[protected] purchased a Whirlpool top load washing machine. While doing the purchase Croma assured me to take their 2 year extended warranty and assured for top class service. But sorry to say Croma doing fraud by charging extended warranty cost but no service provided. I have logged a complaint on 15th Nov 2013 reference no: 108875 and till date no one visited for service even they have closed it and again logged a complain 28th Nov when I called them. Today when I called to customer care they don't have any clue when they are going to resolve this. Croma is a fraud company and people shouldnot take any extended warranty. I am going to consumer court for this so that all people should not fall in cromas trap. Regards, Nilendu

On 8 Nov 2013 I called your customer care enquiring about Milagrow Robotic VC Red Hawk (Item Code 174074). I was told Sadashivnagar branch in Bangalore has one piece and I can pick it up. I could not go on 8th and decided to go on 9th Nov. On 9th Nov 2013 I called again at 10AM enquiring about availability of the product and customer care confirmed availability at Sadashivnagar store. I asked for store phone number and customer care refused to provide that number. By afternoon I reconfirmed again and visited your store. Once I reached the store initially people did not know about the product. I called customer care from the store and customer care reconfirmed availability of one piece at store. After a few minutes of argument one Guru met me at store and he said they have a demo piece only, which had scratches and looked old. I said I can’t accept that. Then he asked me to wait for 15 minutes and came back with a proposal. I pay 30% and book the product and it will be delivered by 15 November 2013. If I pay 100% product will be delivered to my residence by 15 November 2013. I paid 100% vide invoice # SLF02A[protected] and booked the product. While booking the product store gave me a card with which carried store telephone number[protected] and was told I can call that number directly for any clarification On 15 November Guru called me from store and said he needs 10 more days to deliver the product. I said I can’t wait so long and my money should be returned. He was not keen on doing it. Then I had to agree as I had no other choice. On 23 November someone called me to deliver the product. I was out of town and there was nobody to receive the product at home. I asked the caller to deliver on 27 November. He agreed to do the same. After some time Guru from store called me confirming the same and he agreed to send the product on 27 November. On 27 November I waited for the whole day and nobody turned up. By evening I called the numbers from whom I received calls earlier. Delivery person said I should check with store as he had no information. After trying for an hour I could reach store telephone and the person at store promised delivery by 28 November. On 28 November I waited for the whole day and again product was not delivered. I called the person who answered my call on 27 and he said he is out on weekly off and I should call an alternate number. Nobody answered that alternate number and I called store number[protected]. There was an auto response asking me to call customer care. I called customer care at 7PM and I was told latest by today morning product will be delivered. At 2:15 I called your customer care again and he promises to arrange a call back within 4 hours and resolve it within next 24 hours. Neither of that happened. This is an endless follow up.
