Rs. 999/- offer inculding 4 Books and Free Gifts — Books and Gifts not received ordered in Dec. 2008

Dear Sir

I have ordered for Rs. 999/- offer of ITBC, as the offer says 4 Books + Free Gift Vouchar for Travel + 1 Reebok Leather Wallet+Key Chain.

Order placed on 19/12/2008 ( amount paid through credit card)
In the first week of January 2009 I got to know that the order was dispatched through TNT courier (consignment no.[protected] returned back due to incomplete address, I wish to inform you that every month there is minimum 5 mails I am receiving from ICICI / AXIS Bank / Vodafone etc. Then I have given them my office address immediately after this confirmation.

From first weak of January to till date 13th Feb., 2009 whenever I am calling to customer care they have standard answer "We have processed your request just wait for 14 days", I don't understand why they are replying this kind of answer even I am calling after 14 days.

I got to know from different sources like friend, web site that this is a cheater compay, so many people cheated by the India Today Book Club.

I very very upset to give this response.

the current status is same as I talked with Mr. Jitender Kumar Thakur, Supervisor ITBC call centre.
Invoice No. 0RA[protected] to be sent through TNT. " Wait for 14 Days.

You are requested to kindly help me out.

Thanks
I agreed with you. They are the fraud people. Do not wait for the order. Just forget it.
I also did the same.
Thankx for the information.

I tried to know about the sweepstakes through calling the customer care but there was no any response.

Please would someone in authority respond and tell me when the lucky draw for the sweepstakes is due to be held. The waiting is killing me - I've been with this club for over two years, hoping to win a prize.
Has an announcement already been made regarding the date for the lucky draw of the sweepstakes? Is anyone aware of this date? If so, please be kind enough to enlighten me as well . Thanks.
In case no one is aware of the details concerning this draw, let more and more o[censored]s demand to be told! After all, this business of "You are just one step away from winning . . ." has been going on for quite long now, hasn't it ?!!
Did any know about the winners of india today book club prize draw winners. IS it fake or real i paid money for it.
Yesterday i gotta call from india today informing that i have given a trip for rs.5943 in india or abroad ...
i consulted my parents but there is no news from them now...

India Yoday Book Club — No reply for earlier complaint and non receipt of gift voucher

I have received parcel vide invoice no.ORA[protected] DATED 04.03.2009 OF RS.999/- with your claim for free gifts as agreed by you. My unique number to claim special offer is[protected]A[protected]. Immediately i was try to confirm on your side http://offers.indiatodaybookclub.com/gifts.htm but side is unable to open. Again i was try 2-3 times to open the side but agian there was problem. After that i was send my complaint for the same but no any response from your side.

It means you are cheating to me.

I thing this is your habit to cheat the peoples.

I was doubt, you will be not gentleman.
I made a mistake to belive on India Today goodwill.

Why I have paid the order because in your advertisement there was clearly mention that I can get package of 3days & 2 nights.

Hence there is no necessary to confirm the order ect.sssss.

I am not expect possitive response from you because i assume that you are giving me reason that this claim to be made within 60 days. There is no use of my complaint, no response from your end.

No thanks

The day before yesterday I received call from ITBC that I win the prize of 2lac Gold Box & to receive that I have to purchase above 17000 product to save TAX which i have to pay against my Gift worth Rs. 2Lac. I don't know how much its true but waiting for response.

      India Today Book Club — Free diamond voucher for 5000+tupperware along with the encyclopedia

      Hi,

      I had placed an order with Indiatoday book club on seeing their advertisement that for Rs.499/-, they will give us 5000 rs. gift voucher and tupperware. I placed the order on 25th June'2008 and I got a message on the screen saying that the delivery wil be done within 2-3 weeks.

      But till now I have not got any delivery from them. Moreover, they have given a mail id for queries and I have sent mails to that mail id requesting them to give the status of the order, but no reply has been received till now. I am seriously worried.

      Is there any way to cancel the order and get the money back or is there any phone numbers where I can contact and get the status.

      I think seeing all these complaints, we should go to consumer court for this otherwise, these type of companies will not learn the lesson.

      Please advise how to resolve this problem. I make an STD call to Delhi only to be told to log onto a non-existent site.

      Are they trying to fool the public ?

      Just this morning I got a SMS stating that another of their packages offering a Holiday-cum-Adidas Shoes offer-cum-free Adidas Bag has been sent to my address. Until they resolve my pending problem, I have decided to not to accept any further packages from India Today Book Club.
      I tried to open India Today Book Club Web on "www.offers.indiatodaybookclub.com/greatoffer.htm"
      for free gifts of adidas bag, diamond vouchar, and goindigo, umpteen times but the page never opens.
      Phoned [protected] no result. Is it a technical defect or the India Today is taking th consumers for a ride?

      Dear vsir,
      I have purchased books, CDs and promised of gift vouchers for hoildays, Rs.5000.00 worth gift voucher for diamonds, Adidas bag, Shoes, etc.
      So i contacted the no given in the letter, to which they directed me to go to web site " www.offers.indiatodaybookclub.com/greatoffers.htm. But the site was not opening. I think they are cheating public by this gimmic. If really they are offering Gifts, they should have send the same along with the Purchase items, instead of all this tamacha giving unique 19 digits no, login web id etc.

      India Today Book Club — Unable to log into ITBC website to claim

      I have been an ITBC member for a while now. After receiving the "free gifts" offer, I tried repeatedly to log in at the website listed (http://offers.indiatodaybookclub.com/gifts.htm), using my Membership No. and Web ID listed on the Invoices received but, to date, have been unable to do so. How can any member avail of their free gifts, that too "within 60 days" of Invoice date, if he/she cannot access the ITBC website at all??? Further, the items ordered and listed on the Invoice are received much later than the Invoice Date so, is it fair to state "within 60 days of Invoice date"? Attempts to contact the concerned party via email and phone are also unsuccessful.

      Is anybody at the so-called prestigious magazine INDIA TODAY even reading all the complaints at several websites which show up on Google?

      Dear Sir,
      This is in reference to your advertisement in times of india dt.14 dec.2008 regarding a scheme under which 07 c.d's of britannica encyclopedia were offered at a price of rs 799/- plus rs 200/- as handling charges.I placed my order same day and a week later i received the c.d's plus a wallet and a key chain as offered.there was also a pamphlet with details of free holiday for 2n/3d and a unique no. and web id.now the problem is that i am not able to claim my free holiday voucher on your given site address which is;http://www.bookstoday.in/promos.htm.this is really frustating and i have read similar complaints on your site which i beleive are not good for your respected company's reputation.
      I request you to kindly guide me as to how to claim this free holiday voucher.
      I shall be highly thankful to you.

      Subject : Online complaint

      On going through the thousands of compalaints posted by the buyer of the product it is found that the comapny is not caring with the complaints received for its failure to meet its commitmatns. It is also found that the dilivery of goods was effecte much later that the date of order booked and the period of 60 days to reghister for free gifts is a faire onparticularly when the site as mentioned in the instruction note is neither avaialable nor in existance and also the costumer cre executive have also not helped the costumer to lon on for registraition and turned to be a helpless executive. In may case the oreder was booked on 07.11.2008 and the delivery was given on 19/20.11.2008 this is an unfair trade practice and liable to be dragged before the MRTPC for its unfair trade practice.

      Dears,
      India Today Book Club is one big farce. I ordered a pack of three CDs of Pt. Ravishankar, Ustaad Zakir Hussain and Shri HAriprasad Chaurasia, deciding to pay on delivery. THe apck did come but there were two CD's, same ones, of Pt. Ravishankar and one o[censored]staad Zakir HUssain. I tried calling[protected], after IVRS, there was no one to answer the calls. I kept listening to the music.
      I had also ordered a reebok track suit for 1099.00 pay on delivery. I did get a polyester track suit but it looks as if it is fake (may be its not). reebok is written on the track but the insigia is missing. moreover, i purchased a better track from reebok for 3000 than the one i got which ITBC claimed was for 3999.00 (there was a tag also on the track!!!)
      Much before, when I had registered for the membership, i didnot avail the offer to purchase something. Surprisingly, I received a note from the post office about a VPP for Rs. 500 in my name. Anyway, I didnot receive it as i thought i was being duped unnecessarily.
      moral of the story: If you think of ordering something, pl. do so on pay on delivery basis, at least you get something! why not think of going to the nearby shop and buying when u have an option???

      Dear Sir / Madam,

      I had written to you earlier also. I made several calls to the Helpline number Given but all in Vain. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE FREE GIFT TILL DATE.

      I have tried several times to open your site given in the flier but it simply doesnt work.

      Please inform me if I will get the Holiday Voucher or was it Just some cheap gimmick to sell your product?

      I got a call from ur executive on 25th sept. and he offered me Kodak camera (Valued Rs. 8999) for Rs. 5748 along with 3 free gifts...
      1. Free Reebok sunclasses.
      2. Travel voucher along with air ticket..of 2 night n 2 day.
      3. Gift Voucher of Surat diamond worth Rs. 5000.

      I got the kodak camera but i have found out that i'm getting the same camera for Rs. 5450 along with 2 GB card + Cover case+ charger(worth Rs.1600 free) in my city town.and my grievences abt free gift offers are...

      1. Free sunclasses... i never received it

      2.He told me that i can redeem this diamond gift voucher frm any branchs os surat diamond in a period of 12 months... but i have never receive the physical form of it but when trying to contact ur executives they just want to get rid of this by saying contact surat diamond site n gave me some 10 digit no.. not the physical voucher...n aftr contacting suratdiamond site..they r telling me to buy some jewellery online n which means i have to spend Rs.5000/- more on that coz all of the items which they r offering online costs above Rs.10000/- ...( U get some commisiion on this money also coz by not telling this to customers ur exeutives have already traped poor customer...customer has to spend 5000/- more in order to get this Rs.5000/- free voucher... whats free in this offer ... can u just tell me...)

      3.i visited that site of free travell voucher also but in that also i have not got ne voucher till now n i have to spend Rs. 800/- more ... do u think aftr such a bad 2 previous experience of free gift i should make the DD of Rs. 800/- n trust u again...

      Aftr taking my order for camera n not telling me truth abt the free gifts and told me dat i have to pay in 3 EMI's but on my credit card he charged me lumpsum only... ...

      Ur executive thn transfer my call to his floor manager Mr. Sandeep, who told me that i have been chosen for some thing n offered me ardinox dinner set for 5699..n again that diamond gift voucher for rs. 5000/- .

      I always like to do online shopping with India Today Book Club because of its great deals on online purchases that I can’t find in the shops.This site really has a great collection of products. Here, prices are reasonable, good customer service and fast delivery. Overall, Superb website!
      I had bought many books and CDs from India Today Book Club. I like the fact that their customer care is very helpful. For any kind of information one can usually dial their customer care number at[protected] or by sending an email at [protected]@indiatodaybookclub.com.
      I paid Rs. 3199/- thru my Credit Card to ITBC in May 2009 wherein I was informed about the membership No. ITBC09992216 that the consignment bearing ED[protected]IN has been dispatched through Speed Post. After tracking the position on Speed Post website no such number could be traced. Its now, almost 2 years past I have not received my consignment. After frequent follow-ups I could understand that ITBC, being promoted by India Today Group, one of the premier News Media, is totally out of reach of common man, whatsoever may be the cause. These media people has all rights to conduct sting operations against all frauds and corruptions outside, ignoring the degree of such frauds within themselves. Who will bell the CAT?????

      Finally, I feel cheated by India Today fraternity, who I did believed to be very clean and honest.

        I have ordered books for Rs.2598/- on 10/01/2009.The cost was collected through my SBI card A/c.
        My order No.was MITBC-WEB[protected].You have informed me that the books will be delivered within
        3-4 weeks.On non receipt of the books I lodged a complaint. In its reply you had sent SMS to me that
        my order has been processed and my order No. is OGA[protected] on 22/01/2009 6.26am

        I regret to inform you that I have placed the order 3 months back and the cost was already paid through my SBI card A/c. Is it a India today cheating club?
        It's a pity to mention that I ordered Encyclopedia CD pack (with 2night 3days holiday voucher) long back. The money was deducted from credit card on 27/08/08. Since then I have called the customer care help line more than 7-8 times in vain. Every time I was assured to get the delivery within a few days.

        My membership number – ITBC08579121
        Order Number – 0GA[protected]
        The last 4 digit of the credit card through which I made the payment – 7549
        The amount deducted on 27/08/08 – (499+75)=574

        I want to cancel the order and get the refund as soon as possible.

I have been contact with them from Last 6 days(initial complaint made on 8th Sep 2009) still problem is not solved, every time I call the customer care executive they give a FALSE promise of solving the problem in 24 hours, and not even reverting the email reply… I had called more than 7 time to customer care so far, every time I have spent on average 20 minutes on STD with them, so far no solution.

        Can any one know how to solve this issue? Please let me know how to complain in Consumer Court and possibly in media, so that other wont get cheated…

        1. Against receipt of VPP
        2 & 3 Two cheques of Rs 600/- each.

        We have not received the docket till date whereas the cheques have been en-cashed. The Cheque details are as follows:
        1. U.Co Bank cheque # 774544 dated 15.10.08 ammount Rs. 600.00 cleared on 01.12.08
        2. U.Co Bank Cheque # 774545 dated 15.11.08 ammount Rs. 600.00 cleared on 19.12.08

        We have been calling their help line number[protected] ceveral times and have always been assured o[censored]s receiving the goods through VPP within the next 15 days. Last time we launche our complaint at the help desk on the 16th of July 2009, we were assured that the goods would reach us befor the 1st of August 09. The complaint number being 154301 for your reference.

        I have also written email's to them but no joy. which can be provide as proof if required.

        Request you to help me out of this.

        India Today Book Club — NON-RECEIPT OF GOODS ORDERED, IN SPITE OF PAYMENT BEING MADE ON JULY 6, 2009 (3 months ago)

        On Monday July 6, 2009, I accepted an offer received by E-mail from The India Today Book Club for a pair of REEBOK SHOES and FLOATERS at the cost of Rs. 2499. I paid through Credit Card. I immediately received a reply acknowledging that I have made the said payment.

        On not receiving any communication from them for over 7 weeks, I e-mailed them on August 24, as the phone lines were always busy.

        They replied that due to some technical error, my order had not been updated in their records and that I should wait a week.

        On receiving no response again, I e-mailed them again on September 10, 2009. They replied the next day requesting for copies of my Credit Card Statement showing proof of payment. I E-mailed scanned copies of the same immediately, i.e. on September 11, 2009.

        Today is October 8, 2009, over 3 months sionce I placed the order and I am simply fed-up with their total apathy and disregard towards the whole incident. I now want the Goods ordered or my money (Rs. 2499/- + interest) back immediately.

          Dear ITBC,

          I logged on to your site www.bookstoday.in/promos.htm and got this number: BK2TKLBYKWJC7G

          I am told this is not a holiday voucher number and hence does not work. I tried calling your number several times and they kept saying try again. How many times are we supposed to try again?

          I have not received my holiday voucher till date and all I get from calling your call center is try after 2 days.

          They have even become insolent by saying you have only been trying for two months when some of our customers have not received gifts in over 6 months or a year!

          If you have no intention of giving the gifts, I strongly suggest you save us the trouble and tell all customers to complain in the legal system against you. Thsi will save time and effort at both ends. However, if there seriously is a delivery issue then ateleast let me know the truth.

          My Details are: -

          Web No:[protected]

          There is no mention about the return air tickets that I was initially offered with the Samsung Star that I purchased.

          If the website is not working just send me the voucher number by email and I can claim it from your Promotions guys in Bangalore. There is no point in trying to solve a website issue which does not exist.

          This is off course in case you intend on keeping your promises.

          Cheers!
          Sir,

            I too am in the same boat .I think it would be pertainent to go to the consumer court over false promises made by the company and breach of trust.Itoo am not able to claim my free gifts promised as part of the offer.my membership no is ITBC08378360
            I have purchased 3cd's after paying Rs. 574/- . My ORDER no. is OGA[protected] and invoice no. is ORA[protected] dated 10-Sep-08. My membership no. is ITBC08594493. I received the 3CDs only today ie: 29-Sep-08 after 19 days. To claim my free gifts I followed your step-wise instructions. But after the Step1 of Logging into http://offers.indiatodaybookclub.com/greatoffers.htm, instead of getting a form-like format to enter the Unique No., ITBC membership No. and the Invoice No. as instructed in Steps 2, 3 and 4, only various links options are given, of which this is one. When you have organised so well to send a printed step-wise instruction, it is very difficult to believe that this situation has occured by mistake. After viewing a number of similar complaints I am now confident that I have not made any mistake. So I give below once again the details you have asked from me to claim the free gifts
            Step 2: Unique No. printed on the invoice :[protected]A[protected]
            Step 3: ITBC membership No. : ITBC08594493

            Kindly do the needful to send me free gifts and also acknowledge by reply mail, the receipt of this and action taken.

            Thank You.

            my membership number is ITBC08664449. I had claimed for the free gift. i received a customer distinction certificate last month stating that i have been awarded with the special savings offer upto rs 7900. it was stated that books buddy best seller pack was to be despatched by october 15. but i received the same 2 cds of britanica that i was sent before for which i had a loss of 600 rupees. there is no sign of the bestseller pack nor the free gift. this was very painful. Are you giving any free gift and the pack or making fool out of me by sending the britannica cds? with regards-Jagan Sethi.
            Sir,
            I ordered for a 16 pack CDs of music and received the parcel after six reminders and six months. The pamphlet gave steps to log in at http://offers.indiatodaybookclub.com/greatoffers.htm with the particulars in the invoice. But there is no such site and if it exists it doesn't open. I struggled for 1 hour to log in but I find that the site doesn't exist except for several complaints. It appears from the number of complaints that INDIA TODAY magazine and its book club are not of any repute at all. I was all along under the impression that it is the best magazine and best in media business. Now I know better. I've been taken for a ride.

            Dear Sir,
            With a very heavy heart, I want to state that I have ordered for a 16 CD set of SUR SAAZ AUR TAAL, which I have recieved on payment of Rs. 1099 plus Postal. But when I am trying to apply for my free gift, I was unable to do so, as the invoice is not complete, as the last line in the invoice is not clear, and no signature of the authorised signatory, which is causing a doubt. My details are as underm regarding the ITBC. Invoice number= ORA[protected], dtd. 24.03.09, Order No.=OGA[protected], dtd. 24.03.09, Member ID = ITBC09957713, Order ID= MTBC-WEB[protected]. More strangely, no one is attending the telephone call to the given number=[protected].
            Its very strange for a company of such a repute. Some times It seems that if it is a way of selling the goods in this way, by showing false dreams???
            Still hopes that I will receive my assured free gift of "Sun Glasses" at the earliest.

            Sub: Non receipt of your offer of 3D/2N stay at Hotel and free air tickets

            1. During March 2009 I received a mobile call stating that I would be receiving free to-and-fro air tickets to any destination and back to my place of origin and 3 day and 2 night stay at selected hotel provided I purchase your products. Accordingly I purchased your products vide following particulars:

            Invoice No.0RA[protected] Dated : 03.03.2009 Order No.OGA[protected] Dated : 03.03.2009 Loc Id : A Membership No. ITBC 09917032 for ` 999.00

            For the above purchase I did not receive any information or documents from you regarding the offer of free air tickets and free hotel stay.

            2. Again during August 2009 I received a call on the same offer on the same terms and conditions. I again made a purchase of your products vide following details:

            Invoice No. ORA[protected] Dated : 10.08.2009 Order No.OGA[protected] Dated : 10.08.2009 Loc Id: A Membership No. ITBC 0986065 for ` 2598.00 (12 Books and 20 CDs).

            For the above purchase also I did not receive any information or documents from you regarding the offer of free air tickets and free hotel stay.

            3. And again during March 2010 I received a call on the same offer on the same terms and conditions. I again made a purchase of your products vide following details:

            Invoice No. ORA[protected] Dated 20.03.2010 Order No. OGA[protected] Dated 20.03.2010 Loc Id: A Membership No. ITBC 09917032 for ` 7498.00 (One Philips Portable DVD Player & a RBK Watch Black dial).

            Invoice No. ORA[protected]TS Membership No.ITBC 09917032 for ` 7598.00 (Philips Home Theatre DSP-2500 and Philips DVD Player and one RBK Watch Black dial).

            For the above purchase also I did not receive any information or documents from you regarding the offer of free air tickets and free hotel stay.

            To my total surprise, dismay and despair I was fooled even on my telephonic enquiry by not getting any proper response or reply from you.

            Kindly clarify why I have not been given your offer even after my purchase. I request you to post your offer at the earliest.

              India Book Today Book Club cheating the consumers and taken them for granted by fruadant claims through promotional Emails through IRCTC. It was shocking to see that Indian Railway's IRCTC is part of this shameless deal.

              ITBC is sending few useless worn-out books through VPP and charging us Rs. 699 + Rs. 50 and asking us to claim the free gift upon web registeration. It happened to me twice, and I didn't get any of their free gifts even after registering on their web sites.
              The Holiday offer worth Rs.5000/-, which was another shabby episode that nobody would like to venture into it.

              I could see similat complaints also earlier on this forum, is there any action taken on them? Please act fast to stop this nuisense from India Today Book Club.

              Best Regards,

                  I received the parcel for 20 CD vide invoice no. ORA[protected]date 07.11.2008 but unable to log on to the site for free gifts as first the sitre was not accecble till 6.12.2008 secondly when i could logged on after a talk with your costumer care there was no bax appeared on site wher i could put the unique code as step 2. My complaint dated 06.12.2008 is un-attenced and un-answered. it is not a good practice when you have dispatched the CD pack the gift vouchers should also be dilivered with the pack along with the other free gifts. Dilivery of free gifts and vouchers should be ensured when you boo the orders. I have come across the number of complaints more than 90% relates to non availability of site and non receipt of gifts.
                  i fully agreed that the India today befooled the public at large by dilivering the useless and non mrketable CDs. Thid must be brought to the notice of the consumer forum for taking stirn action against such scheme floated by such a reputd magajeen house. They continuouslly followed the costumer til he booked an order and than disappear from the scene, even they don't bother whether the costumer gets his ordered dilivered. After collecting the money through the curior they do not bother about the gifts they ensured at the time of booking the orders.

                  India Today Book Club — Movie Offer Service not offered

                  Hi,

                  I bought a Movie Offer for Rs. 588 from India Today Book Club and the Voucher says that I can avail of the service to book the ticket on Saturdays from 10 AM to 1 PM. But when I call up no one is ready to help me. Instead they just disconnect the phone line if we try to explain them that it is provided in the Voucher about Saturday being open for booking tickets.

                  The call was addressed by an agent by the name of Anita and when I asked her for her manager, she was not able to transfer it to him/her citing different reasons for the same.

                  Hopefully, this complaint goes to India Today Book Club and the issue is resolved.

                  Thanks and Regards,

                  Guru

                  India Today Book Club — Non availability of service sold, bad practices

                  I have taken a subscription of India Today Book Club (ITBC) - Movie Ticket Coupon. Order no M-COMMERCE/0GA[protected]
                  1. ITBC have sold good number of memberships but do not have enough seat arrangements with the cinema halls. Every time I called for ticket for the next 2-3 days, your call centre reverted with same reply "no availability for the Next 6-7 days, tell me a date after that". I enquired wIth the team Leader/manager at call centre on actually how many seats you have per show In a cinema hall - reply was 1 seat per show or max 2 In some hall. it was clear why the problem. they do not have seats for which ITBC sold coupons and hence the coupons hardly can be used.

                  2. Still I wanted to see whether ITBC accepted booking for a date 6-7 days from Booking Date, and I tried to Book on the date the tele call handler said It was available. Then she asked ofr my credit card number so that she can write down the card number and CVV number, and she will make the booking and then call me back with confirmation. I have Booked ITBC coupon ONLINE, why would I give my credit card number to be written by their tele call handler?

                  3. I said I do not have credit card. I only have Debit card. the tele call handler straightway replied "Debit card not acceptable, and the customer must have a credit card" ITBC will only make the rules for the world? When my debit card was acceptable for the booking of coupons why further Transaction can not be made with same debit card and ITBC requires a new instrument. I talked to the team leader / manager, who said she will revert to me on next working day...it is 3 weeks, she has not reverted.

                  It is very clear that ITBC sold coupons without actually having the service/capacity and they have designed bad practices to woo away customers from asking to avail the service and make money without delivering the product.

                  BAD COMPANY INDIA TODAY HUH!!!

To this they say that I have to wait until the form is received by them. Please suggest what to do.

                  Complain No. 199702 of 09/09/09

                  I had ordered for a DVD player and speakers through internet [30 July 2009] and the payment was made through credit card after talking to two of your executives on mobile. Rs. 7348.00 was withdrawn from my account (Bangalore) within a couple of days. They had promised me that the consignment would arrive at my place [Guwahati] in 20 days time. I waited till the end of August, no news and no information from your office. I called to your No. [protected], [the computer reply made me wait for more than 40 minutes] the person at the other end told me that the consignment could not be sent as the carrier company would not accept to deliver in North East India. So I had requested them to cancel the order as it was too late for the purpose for which I had ordered [a presence for a wedding], as I had already purchased another set. They accepted it and given me the complain number 199702 on 9th September 2009. I waited for some weeks, my bank informed me that the amount Rs. 7348.00 was never returned till 12 September. So I called up again, enquiring for the return of my money. The guy who picked up [Kapil] told me that I should be expecting the replishment of my money within 10 to 15 days. At the end of September, my bank has not received yet the money. So today [10/10/09] I called up to enquire about it. The guy at BPO told me that the consignment had been sent on 08/10/2009. He further told me that my order was never cancelled as I did not email my request to cancel it. Now the guy who took my request for cancellation never told me that I needed to write by email my cancellation nor is it describe in any of your adverstisement or brochure that this process has to be done.

                  What you have done to me is a down right injustice: 1. you delayed my order by three months, making my need redundant 2. not even once you have the good manners to appologize or inform me for the delay, etc 3. you have not honoured my cancellation order which was clearly given to your spoke person and accepted by him and even assured me that my money would be in the bank before the end of September.4. and now you are telling me that you are dispatching after three months, when I do not need it any more.5. you were smart in taking my money immediately, though small amount, and use it to your advantage. 6. you have caused immense mental anxiety to my and my wife [which is a grave matter of concern at the judiciary] by your silence and discriminatory attitude.

                  As a gentleman I had been very patient. But at this stage I will not accept this nonsense treatment from you anymore. I may not be a well known person, but as an educated citizen of India I know where and how I can demand justice from such company like you.

                  I expect an EXPLANATION from you.

                  Ungratefully,

                  the customer care says a word and the company delivers something different
                  I had bought many books and CDs from India Today Book Club. I like the fact that their customer care is very helpful. For any kind of information one can usually dial their customer care number at[protected] or by sending an email at [protected]@indiatodaybookclub.com.
                  I had ordered some books from IndiaToday Book Club.
                  1. The parcel I received contained books which were not in good condition.
                  2. The CD (Biography Series, Heroes & Villains) with it didn't work. It gets struck everytime I try installing it.
                  3. When I went online to claim my free gift (Adidas Bag) the site doesn't open.

                    Hi everyone out there?

                    How come these many people are cheated and these fraud guys are still roaming out there and making money? Is it not time that our police or intelligence to trace them out and punish them? How come they give a legitimate bank account number. Why cant this Indian police trace the culprits on the basis of the bank account.

                    And finally who will answer my queries here?

                    ---- A confused lot ----
                    I received a call stating that they are calling from IDEA CELLULAR LIMITED and I am a winner for gift. I received a call from [protected]. They are asking my name and address to send gift.

                    I asked them if you are calling from IDEA CELLULAR, then you should have my address. So I asked them please confirm my name at least. They are unable to say at least my name.

                    In my view, they are not calling from IDEA CELLULAR. But they are saying like that. Later I called IDEA CELLULAR CUSTOMER CARE and asked them about the gift call . According to IDEA CELLUALR CUSTOMER CARE, They are not providing any gifts to any customer. SO I CAME TO KNOW THAT IS A FAKE CALL. so I am informing to all, that you all please be aware of calling from unknown persons saying as your mobile network operators. BE AWARE OF SUCH FAKE CALLES. Thank you for your time.

                    Warm regards,

                      I had ordered for Britannica Encyclopedia Jumbo pack from India Today Book Club and paid through my Credit Card. I received a confirmation mail on April 30, 2008 stating that the payment has been received and quoted my order number. They asked for 2-3 weeks for delivery. I waited for a long time, and followed up sometime in 1st Week of June, 2008. The customer care executive replied that the product has been despatched. After a week, I again called for follow up and got a reply that the consignment got rejected as the consignee refused to accept. The fact is that no one even came to my address. Then I received a mail that the consignment was rejected. I again confirmed to resend the consignment on June 28, 2008. I am still waiting for the product even after such a long time.

                      My order no. is. 0GA[protected].

                      Kindly help me in this matter.

                      Sub: Reg refund of money on non receipt of product

                      Sir
                      I booked an office kit over phone on 18/02/09 with India Today Book Club costing Rs 2799/-- and paid the amount by my credit card on the same day over phone.

                      2. According to them, the product will reach to me within 14 days but till now I have not received the product. The details of the order are as below:
                      Membership no.-ITBC[protected] booking date 18/02/09
                      Booking ID[protected]
                      Consignment no. [protected] by Blue Dart courier date 27/02/09.

                      3. I called to India Today Book club about non receipt of product and complaint about this 5 times as below:
                      On 17/03/09 to Mr Anant Complaint no: 24137
                      On 02/04/09 to Mr Amit Complaint no: 49351
                      On 02/0-04/09 to Mr Jitender Complaint no: 49902
                      On 13/04/09 to Mr Rvinder Complaint no: 63586
                      On21/04/09 to Mr Ashutosh Complaint no: 75212
                      On 21/04/09 to Mr Justin Fernades Complaint no: 75255

                      4. Everyone responded that you will receive the product within next 4 working days but not yet received and am mentally harassed. And no action has been taken on the complaints as the product has not delivered to me onmy residential add as: Qtr no 222, CRPFqtrs, Sector 16-b Dwarka New Delhi -75.
                      5. I requested them to cancel the order and remit me Rs2799/-- with interest, they say either to mail or write us to cancel the order and no interest will be give as per their policy Whereas I am of the opinion that when order can be taken over phone, it can be cancelled over phone after verifying the identity.
                      6. It is therefore requested to kindly look into the matter so that my money be returned with interest and I be compensated for the mental harassment and coy makes consumer friendly policies so that customers are not harrased

                      Thanking You

                      Any how i havent receved your product till now and fed up with your answers on your call centres citing one or othr reasons for non delivering the product. and feels very much harrased and cheated and wants to cancel the order wih the condition to refund my money back with interst which your telecallers refused saying such refund is not in their company policy. I was neither told during booking the product that after paying for the product neither the product will be deliverd nor refund wil be done.
                      NOW I HAVE NO OPTION LEFT THAN TO MOVE CONSUMER COURT .
                      I therefore request to kindly mail me the full detail of my conversation from the date of booking to various complaints made by during the period to present before the court.
                      HOPE YOU WILL SEND THE DETAILS AT THE EARLIEST.

                      1. Why their is delay?

                      2. By what date they will deliver product to me?

                      3. What does order under process exactly mean?

                      Everytime I write to them I get reply that my order is under process. I think its a clearcut fraud and people trying to place order with them should take enough care. At this point, I think I have lost my Rs 5300 and further money which I will invest in taking legal action agaist india today book club.

                          Resolved

                          I have ordered the Books (Encyclopedia) along with a holiday Package as a free gift voucher. The order was made on-line through the credit card and i had received the payment confirmation on the same day itself. This offer was come to me as an ad in my mail id

                          My order details are
                          Order is : MITBC-WEB-0651867
                          Order no: - 0GA[protected]

                          Even after about TWO Months i did not received my order and its gift items. There is no response on their customer service.

                          After the complaint i got a VPP parcel asking me for a payment to get the order. I sent - back the parcel but there was no response from the ITBC Customer service department regarding anything. Their Phone no. is also not taking us to speak a customer service officer.

                          So I request ALL that NOT to have any deal with the ITBC with trust.

                          LIVING MEDIA INDIA LTD., ITBC/ SUR SAAZ AUR TAAL — NON RECEIPT OF GIFT

                          My membership No. is ITBC09862975. I was informed by the local postman on18.04.09 that I have a parcel from ITBC and today i.e., 20.04.09, I eagerly went to collect the same. But to my disappointment I found only the 16 CD pack but without the free gift (Reebok shoe) inside the parcel under the Invoice No.ORA[protected]. In a letter kept inside the parcel, I was asked to log on to the website www.bookstoday.in/promos.htm to claim my free gifts. On logging in it was astonishing to find that I had many predecessors with the same complaint and, the site, it appears, is a mere complaints login site .What a shame! what a feeling of deceit! Is ther a way out? Or are those free gifts advertised are merely to be seen only on the computer monitor?
                          Depressed on being cheated,
                          D.Thiyagrajan.
                          I have received from LIVING MEDIA INDIA LTD, DELHI, India Today Books Club ''Sur Saaz Aur Taal ' from the post Office during April'09 16 CD's of high quality against my Order No: 0GA[protected] Dated 27-Mar-09, Order placed through Internet which I appreciate. Therein the Order Letter it has been mentioned that I am entitled for free gift which I have to Claim within 60 days of the Invoice Date 27-Mar-09 & Invoice No 0RA[protected], CONSIGNMENT No 589057 by logging on to www.bookstoday.in/promos.hmt.
                          It is therefore requested to Kindly forward/deliver the Free Gift mentioned in the Delivery Letter of the ibid Item.
                          My LOGIN WEB ID IS:2117514, My Unique No to claim the special offer:[protected]A[protected]
                          This is very worst part from India Today that cheating done with me… infect I called several times but no one from customer care people responded proper way
                          And last 20 day I am trying to talk with Mr. Khan but he lease bother to attend my call

                          Hoping that my complaint will take seriously & I will get my parcel within week times

                          I have given sufficient time to you to reach my parcel to my end. It is quite shameful on part of India Today Book Club that despite OF several follow up I have not received my parcel.

                          You have consider my this mail has a warning letter that if my parcel is not receive within 10days time & with good quality from date of this mail, I am going to take legal action against India Today Book Club And a doing cheating with me. Hope the message is LOUD & CLEAR I want my parcel with in 10days.

                          Why u people irritating to customer. When I am saying, something going on wrong still you is saying very lightly “check once again”. Did you thing this is the right ways to say any of customer.

                          Don’t have words to say how much you care about your customer, if possible please refund the amount.

                          Dear Sir

                          Regret to inform you that after several follow-up with customer I have not yet received my parcel. I think I paid money on telephone bills more then how much I paid for Fitness Kit.
                          In my life this is the very worst experience for me. Do you think I will suggest any of my friends to book from India Toady? Certainly not.

                          May I hope my order will get within week days or I can get refund of my money?


                          Your earliest reply will be highly appreciated.

                              fully agree and empathise with the complainants as I too am a sufferer and can understand the feelings. I think it is just because of forgiving citizens of India that the company is continuing to cheat more and more people every day and making humongous of profit. The week judicial system and complicated procedures cmplexes the situation

                              Below is given India Today Book Club reply to my many, many emails sent over a period of about 4 months.
                              I am very familiar with the English language. However I would like you to define for me what you mean by " a few" as in ' a few more days'... as I have been getting similar replies over a period of nearly THREE MONTHS in response to my queries. And there is still no sign of my order of Reebok Shoes ostensibly sent by your concern (India Today Book Club"through TNT Couriers.
                              It appears that your company has little or no regard for its members, knowing fully well that you hold all the cards in your hand and there is little redess that we, common folk, can hope to achieve aganst a so called reputed national Company.
                              To crown it all you have the gall to continue to inform me that I have "won" lucky mobile numbers and am entitled to ll sorts of discounts!
                              Dear Member,

                              We apologies for the inconvenience cause to you in this regard.

                              India Today Book Club — Non-receipt of goods and free gift

                              I have ordred on Sept 22, 2008 (Order No. MITBC-WEB[protected] and fully paid the amount of Rs.2499.00 which has been confirmed by the company and the bank credit card statement. The product 16CD Pack SAAZ and the free gift 2 nights-3 day vacation for a couple, have not yet been received. I have called the company and sent e-mails a dozen of times during this period. I have been each time assured by the company of despath of the materials along with the details of claiming the free gift in two weeks time. This is going on for more than FIVE months. However, I have received the second free gift of a pair of Reebok shoes which is also a part of he same above order. It is painful to chase such an reputed company to receive the supply even after full payment.Hope some one in the company looks into this type of serious lapses.

                              Check your email and your bank account. I am sure ITBC will make your run from pillar to post for that refund amount. It is a well known fact.

                              As Till date no one has replied to my complaint registered on 17/3/09:

                              My order no. 0GA[protected] dated 27-01-09, I ordered a Reebok Fitness Kit. I received the kit with wrong shoe size (I order no. 9 but received no.6) hence on instructions from Customer help[protected], I return the full parcel.

                              On 14-02-09 new order no. is given to me - 0GA[protected], but till date I have not received my order. Whenever I call helpline no., simple answer is given "order is fully / successfully processed and will receive the same in 1 week"

                              This has been going for last 3 weeks. The customer service reps are not even transferring the call to senior personnel reason given all are busy. Today 17-03-09 am told to wait for 15 days more.

                              Mr. Mayank, Ms. Shabnam Khan, Arvind, Dominic Savio, Priya, Ishleen all these employees give different reasons / excuses but not even one has helped. I feel am helpless as I am based in Mumbai and this company is in Delhi.

                              ITBC is fleecing innocent buyers. WORST SERVICE PROVIDER I HAVE COME ACROSS TILL DATE. HOW CAN ITBC BE SO CARELESS IN CATERING TO CONSUMERS NEEDS.

                              the Waybill No. of the parcel & the date on which it was dispatched ?
                              the courier company through which it was sent ?the date on which it reached my residence ?
                              the reason why it was not delivered ?
                              was the courier company provided by my No. ? why they have not called?
                              Dear sir,

                              I had ordered for a set of 16CDs " SUR SAAZ TAAL" (Order No.OGA[protected] on 28/03/09 and received the item on 17.04.09 for which I made the payment for Rs. 1099.00 (+ MO commission Rs. 55.00) to Postman. Unfortunately one CD was found to be defective. I contacted ITBC through email and phone (STD & Tollfree) both. Then I was advised by Mr. Sushil Kumar through email on 20.04.09 to return the entire item for necessary replacement and assured that the order would be redispatched from your side immediately. Meanwhile I received my another item, a set of 7 DVDs of Agatha Christie vide order no. OGA[protected] dated 28.03.09 on 21.04.09 paying Rs.569.00 (+ MO commission Rs. 29.00) to Postman. Unfortunately this time also all the 7 DVDs were found to be defective. Then as per the advise of ITBC I sent back both the defective items in a single pack to the given address of India Today Book Club, B-47 Indira Enclave Neb Sarai, New Delhi 110068 by Speed Post from Kolkata Airport Speed Post Office 700052 on 27.04.09 vide consignment no. EW[protected]IN paying Postal charges Rs. 192.00. But to my surprise that parcel was sent back to me on 06.05.09 with Delhi Postman's remark 'lene se inkar' in Hindi with Delhi postal stamp dated 30.04.09. Again I contacted ITBC through email and Tollfree no. and as per advise and assurances of Mr. Jitendar Kumar Thakur ( through email) and Mr. Azeem Khan (through phone) that this time the parcel would be accepted by their warehouse I resent the freshly packed packet through Kolkata 700052 Speed Post Office vide consignment no. EW[protected]IN on 11.05.09 . But to my utmost surprise the packet was again refused to accept by ITBC, ware house on 12.05.09 with the same remark in Hindi by New Delhi Postman "lene se inkur" and Postman from Kolkata 700052 came to deliver me the same on 16.05.09. As a matter of coincidence then I was in phone line with Mr. Azeem Khan of ITBC . I informed him about the arrival of parcel back and wanted his advice. He told me not to accept the item. So I did that.


                              So now what is going to happen with my both the items for which already I spent Rs.2170.00 and being a Senior Citizen faced enormous harrasements ?

                              My questions are :

                              Why time and again my sent items are returned by New Delhi ITBC Warehouse ?
                              If these items are never to be accepted by ITBC why do Executives of ITBC give assurances unnecessary and harrase Members?
                              And if ITBC would ever accept the item why do they refusing again and again ?
                              Is it due to ITBC's faulty internal communication system ?
                              And if ITBC cannot serve sincerely to the expectation of a Member why do they offer for the items then ?
                              Even, if I ever get, my fresh replaced items back will ITBC compensate for these harrasement caused to me due to their faulty system ?
                              Does a company like India Today not believe in Consumer Rights???
                              What is ITBC's complaint redressal system ??
                              Does the onsumer have the right to know the reasons, as per your company policy, of refusing their returned items time and again ?
                              Do ITBC have any complaint cell apart from a redundant email id [protected]@indiatodaybookclub.com where no one cares to reply to consumers ???
                              The service provided by you is worse than the bogus cheap shopping websites !! I have had a better shopping experience at these websites. At least there are a set of some responsible people who answer to customers questions!! ITBC can learn from the members of EbayIndia & EbayUk how to perform better.
                              Do you try to find out the employees responsible for these delays?? If yes what steps are taken by your company to ensure that they are not repeated and consumers are not troubled??
                              Do you instill a sense of responsibility in your employees to give some level of customer satisfaction???
                              What is the protocol in your company for answering these complaints?
                              What is the step taken if complaint is not looked into ??
                              Do you have a complaint cell in your company??
                              If yes, kindly provide me the complete details of this cell including the people responsible for handling complaints and the head of your complaint cell.
                              It is ridiculous to see that a company of the repute of India today is not bothered about the rights of its customers in today’s advanced age??!!
                              Please reply to all my questions well in time!!

                              Because these questions will keep coming till I get a satisfactory service and answer.

                              Thanks and regards

                              India Today Book Club — Non Receipt of ordered goods

                              this is addressed to the india today book club...

                              Dear sir,

                              I had ordered for a dinner set ( Art d inox ) (Order No. M-COMMERCE/0GA[protected] on 23/03/09 for which I made the payment through my credit card. I was told that the product would be sent soon & that I would be sent dispatch details via email & SMS. However, since I did not receive any information from your side, on 01/04/09 I sent an email to know the status of my order. To my astonishment I was told that the parcel containing my order had gone back undelivered! No details or reasons for not being able to deliver the product were provided to me by your company.

                              I was assured again by Mr. Sushil Kumar that the order would be redispatched from your side immediately. This was on 02/04/09. Since then you have not been able to send my product. No details have been provided to me despite having sent many reminder emails.

                              I had asked for the details of the parcel sent to me earlier by you, but no details have been provided to me. I wanted to know…

                              the Waybill No. of the parcel ?
                              the date on which it was dispatched ?
                              the courier company through which it was sent ?
                              the date on which it reached my residence ?
                              the reason why it was not delivered ?
                              why did the delivery person of the courier company not call on my mobile no.?
                              was the courier company provided by my No. ?

                              Why was no reply given to me even after so many email reminders??

                              Does a company like India Today not believe in Consumer Rights???

                              Was the product actually dispatched from your side?? If yes why are you shying away from giving the details to the consumer??

                              Does the consumer have the right to know these Details as per your company policy??

                              Does the statement “ 4 weeks are required to deliver the goods” absolve you and your employees of all the responsibilities of providing timely and courteous service to the customer???

                              The service provided by you is worse than the bogus cheap shopping websites !! I have had a better shopping experience at these websites. At least they have a set of responsible people who answer to customers questions!!

                              Are your employees taught to tell the customers that we have already told you that it will take 4 weeks for delivery so wait that long before making any noise!!???

                              What is your complaint redressal system ??

                              Do you try to find out the employees responsible for these delays?? If yes what steps are taken by your company to ensure that they are not repeated and consumers are not troubled??
                              Do you instill a sense of responsibility in your employees to give some level of customer satisfaction???

                              Do you have any complaint cell apart from a redundant email id [protected]@indiatodaybookclub.com where no one cares to reply to consumers ???
                              After having made about 5 calls to your toll free no. I have been given a complaint no. 66745.
                              What is the protocol in your company for answering these complaints?
                              What is the step taken if complaint is not looked into ??

                              Do you have a complaint cell in your company??
                              If yes, kindly provide me the complete details of this cell including the people responsible for handling complaints and the head of your complaint cell.

                              It is ridiculous to see that a company of the repute of India today is not bothered about the rights of its customers in today’s age??!!

                              Please reply to all my questions THIS time!!

                              Because these questions will keep coming till I get a satisfactory answer

                              India Today Book Club — Goods not Delivered

                              Hi,

                              I booked an order with you for set of 5 books on 8-July-2009 for Rs 552.
                              My credit card was debited and I received the order confirmation on my mail ID saying that within next 3 weeks order goods will be delivered at my address.
                              I waited till 26th- Aug-2009 for the order, since then I have sent 29 mails so far, out of which only 9 were replied, and most were “we have transferred it to the concerned department” and some were “Please send us your credit card statement so that we shall validate if you have made the payment or not”.
                              I was asked to send my credit card details, as the proof of payment, which I did and since then they haven't sent any response back.

                              Today when i called then enquiring about my order, i was told that the books are 'Out of Stock' and i can cancel my order. But the money would be credited to my account after a month !!

                              Why was i kept waiting for so long? Why wasn't i updated about this earlier?
                              Is it the case that consumer doesn't have any say in the way these companies may deal?
                              I seriously doubt the integrity of the company which has kept me waiting for the order for so long after pocketing the money.

                              I request your authority to kindly intervene and take such a strong deterrant measure so that consumer should have some relief from such unscrupulous pratices by the companies. Otherwise we, the consumers, would be victimized eternally.

                              Thank You
                              we have not received the camera for which we have already paid through credit card

                              India Today Book Club — Non- receipt of goods ordered

                              ITBC membership no. is ITBC 09117944.
                              My order no. is OGA[protected], of Sept 23,2009.
                              Non-Delivery of goods ordered.
                              I was offered a “Vijayadashmi offer” by INDIA TODAY BOOK CLUB (ITBC) as mentioned below:
                              KINDLY FIND THE ATTACHMENTS OF OUR "VIJAYDASHMI" OFFER ONLY FOR 10 CUSTOMERS OUT OF WHOLE INDIA, FOR INDIA TODAY BOOK CLUB MEMBERS!!!!!!
                              SAMSUNG TOUCH SCREEN MOBILE PHONE (11500/-)
                              +PHILIPS HOME THEATRE 5.1 CHANNEL (10489/-)+
                              FUJIFILM A-100 DIGITAL CAMERA (5999/-)
                              PAY JUST Rs. 9498/- FOR ALL THE THREE THINGS.
                              NO TERMS AND CONDITION AND NO HIDDEN COAST.
                              IF INTERESTED REVERT BACK WITH CONTACT NUMBER
                              It may thus be observed from the foregoing , that the offer is for all three items and there is no mention of any free gifts. Going by the lucrative offer and the standing of “INDIA TODAY”, I agreed for the offer and the requisite payment of Rs 9498 was made by me on September 22,2009. I was promised by the executive of ITBC (Mr. Dilip) that the goods would reach me within 10 days.

                              I received Consignment No. [protected] containing the Samsung Mobile phone on October 4, 2009 The Invoice no.for the Samsung phone is ORA[protected] of Sept 25,2009, The invoice mentioned that I would be required to log into their site to claim my free gifts . Earlier all the three items was indicated as one order and in the invoice they have indicated that the other two items are free gifts . Till date, I am unable to log into the site to claim the other two items of the Special Offer viz. (i) The Philips Home theater System and (ii) the FUJIFILM digital camera as the indicated in the offer. Their site indicates that the offer is closed. Also, while trying to contact the given phone number, recorded music is being played for prolonged period of time and after a long wait everytime a different executive replies stating that their site has been experiencing difficulties and hence unable to comment upon the status of my order.

                              This has been going on for the last two months and innumerable correspondences and phone calls have not resulted in any positive outcome. Of late, ITBC has stopped replying to my mails. Copies of mails exchanged with ITBC are appended as testimony of my claims for your kind information and record.
                              Under the circumstances therefore, I feel helpless and cheated and I am constrained to approach an esteemed organization like yours who have been doing a pioneering work in settling consumer grievances.
                              I have observed that you have been able to help out several victims of India Today Book club. Could you please look into this matter and see that justice is done. Such fraudulent activities under such esteemed banner needs to be given wide publicity , stopped forthwith and the officials concerned should be booked for the offences , so that gullible common man customers are not cheated.

                              This email is my last hope of getting justice.

                              Thanks & Regards,
                              D.D.Bhattacharjee
                              I too have faced a similar problem with India Today Book Club. They promised holiday voucher & return air fare. I was to send the request for this separately to Premier Sales Promotion Pvt Ltd, Bangalore. Which I did in September 2009. No response. My order no is [protected] of August 28, 2009.
                              My brother, too, had availed of the offer. But instead of sending the request by ordinary mail (as I did according to instructions) he sent it by courier. The letters have returned undelivered - 'Shifted'.
                              And Indis Today Book Club is simply not available on phone. They put you on hold for hours together

                              India Today Book Club — Non receipt of Goods even after 3-4 Reminder mails

                              I have placed an order on 26th June 2009 for a Kodak Digital Camera. I have paid through my credit card amount Rs. 5348 and my Order No. is: M-COMMERCE/0GC[protected] and Order ID is: MITBC-WEB[protected].

                              I haven't received the camera yet and i have sent reminder mails 3-4 times but even after that i haven't got any satisfactory reply. It being almost one and half year following for it but still i haven't received the camera.

                              Please reply at the earliest otherwise I would be forced to go to consumer court.

                                You need to do the following things to avail the holiday voucher.

                                U have to call up the customer care no.[protected]. they'll immediately give you the unique id i[censored] give them ur ITBC no.(membership no.). I got the code on the first call itself.

                                Today I recieved mail from India Today & IRCTC and I paid Rs.574 for Britannica Encylopedia, Addidas bag, Rs.300/- Book club for 1 year, Rs.2990/- Holiday package.

                                Reading the fraud and Rs.800/- extra for Holiday I think I also got trapped for this fruad. I am very annoyed that such renowed companies like India Today & IRCTC are going to extent to fraud the people like persons of Nigeria, African are doing by sending fraud mails.

                                I think this should be figure out in rival channels of Aaj Tak also like NDTV extra

                                Thanks

                                Vijay Vatyani
                                This is a fraud. Please don't pay anything and fall in their trap
                                THEIR SHOULD NOT BE ANY EXTRA CHARGES OF RS800/O FOR HOLIDAY PACAGES ETC. AS IT IS INBUILT IN GIFT VOUCHER
                                Can I add my two bits and say that I have been cheated by these people as well. The y simply don't respond to repeated mails. What is amazing is that this is a concern we associate with one of the pioneers of thought and information revolution -- Mr. Aroon Poorie. Now I will go around telling everyone that after this even the news and analysis in India Today is suspect.
                                i too booked on 11.05.08. i only received three cds on 18.06.08. The adidas bag was not sent to me. Also, the membership no & web login number given for availing the holiday offer are not working. It is unecessary for us to go into all the details to ascertain whether it is cheating or not. As many have been cheated, it is better to lodge a complaint in the consumer court and leave the matter to the law to decide.
                                how i can enrolled with you.
                                how i can join your group.

                                But not been able to get in to the ITBC site with the log in ID and password given on the invoice are not working.
                                Pl let me know the secret of this scheme other it will be difficult to believe any organisation of such kind in India.

                                India Today Book Club — non recieving of the adidas bag and holiday vocher

                                I got a VPP of Rs 734/- without even ordering a book. It looks like the book club itself don't have the values which the books teach. They just want to encash by misguiding the members.
                                I have received the books and paid Rs699.00, but have not received the holiday package4 and adidas bag.
                                LIVING MEDIA/INDIA TODAY gifts /holiday vouchers is the biggest fraud of the decade.i have paid 534 not received any thing two months passed by.i have written off.They proved what is india today corruption, cheating, rape and robbery.therefore name it self says they are cheats.I will keep on writing and telling the refined fraud of Living media to every one and publish in UK/USA
                                about the frauds of so called great Book company.I will drag them to court and ensure justice

                                Exactly the same thing happened to me. Nowonwards I am not going to accept of their VPP orders

                                ======================================================================
                                Unfair Practices of your Book Club

                                I have paid a sum of Rs. 2000 based on your attached notification for A FREE deluxe Family Holiday was promised as part of the offer as outlined there.

                                A few outdated CDs were received without any documents or invoice or any clue as to how to obtain the holiday voucher.

                                Later on, as no any such offer was received, I contacted your Delhi number # 40502424 and took an ITBC number, from your delhi office telephonically, and printed the holiday voucher. To my surprise, I realised that it was mere cheating as you then demanded a payment of Rs 800/- towards charges.Though unwillingly, and in disgust over such conning practices, which is unbecoming of any respectable organisation, I had sent the required documents and voucher copy alongwith the payment drawn on a local bank.

                                Today when I called up, @ +[protected], as nothing was heard from you, the entire set of documents were I understand returned to me on some flimsy grounds. But the said courier has so far not reached me and obviously therefore, somebody at your end is at fault and all this amounts to deficiency in service and cheating.

                                You are therefore requested to take away your CDs and refund the money collected from me immediately to avoid further unpleasant and infructuous correspondence, and other actions or else, the Holiday as outlined by me be materialised on priority. I am attaching a copy of the holiday voucher as ready reference.

                                Hoping to hear from you by return mail,

                                yours sincerely,

                                Antony Xavier,

                                I had paid Rs 2599 to get a set of 20 CDs on 22rd October and it was promised that I wil get delievery in 10-12 days. However even after 35 days I have not got my Consignment. I am continuously in touch with ITBC staff and Call centre but not getting any confirmation on my Order no MITBC-WEB[protected]. This means that ITBC is makiing us FOOLS. This is totally disgusting. There is no point for Mr Puri and India Today Group (including Aaj Tak etc) to boast their group. This is totally a cheater's Group working only to FOOL people. I am sure I will get the correct comensation for this delay alongwith my Parcel.

                                Mr Puri are you listening ?

                                i am facing the same problem, these people are cheating us, they are cheating the people from all over india. i am just sending you what ever my conversation has happend till date with this guys online.

                                apart from this i have spoken to this guys for more than 4 times on phone at regular interval of 10 days but still they are saying when i called them today right now before i m writing this means at 2.30pm 28-11-08 to the guy called karmjeet on[protected]. he said again we will dispatch it in next 10 working days asap.

                                now tell me what is the meaning to get associated with such a big group when they dont have their contact us page on their website and not at all any active supervisory management who can look after customer queries and after sales services.

                                SHAME on u guys!!!

                                just go through details below my friends and see up to which extent this people can go, utterly carelessness and irresponsible approach!!

                                till date i was under impression that being an india today group, service and comfort of your client would be your priority in any scenario of your business.



                                but with a great dissapointment i am admitting that image of india today group in my soul has been VANISHED!!!



                                you can go through trail mail, still after calling 2 times for reminder with subject that i havent received my order while i have received my credit card statement at my home then in this era why comman man like me would like to go for e-shopping?



                                wouldn't you react if money is deducting from your a/c and still you dont get value for money after more than 1 month?



                                please let me know what is the status of my order? all the time from customer care i get to hear, we are forwarding your request and you will get it within 14 days, again after few days when i call they say we will dispatch your order soon and you will get it within in next 14 working days.



                                is this the way you want to run your company and win client's heart?



                                reply as per your conveniency, no hurry.

                                Hi

                                I got the offer along with the IRCTC offer so called sweepstakers of Rs.60 lakh. As part of this offer I have paid Rs.2579 by Card online to India Today Book Club. This offer includes like CD's, Reebok shoe and holiday club.

                                This I have paid it during September 2008. You wont believe, till today, I have not received anything. What they have done is, they have sent the above mentioned items by VPP twice, which I have rejected.

                                My calls to the delhi number was waste of money. No one bothered to respond. If you ask them to escalate the matter to their supervisor, they reply that they are not authorised to do so.

                                Such a big company, they have made lot of confussion in this offer. I have now requested to cancel the order, but they have asked me to show them the credit card statement to confirm, whether I have paid or not.

                                I have sent the statement also. But till today no reply from the ITBC about the cancellation of the order. I am still getting SMS mentioning and asking me to provide them my shoe size.

                                This the status and an example of an un planned way of handling any offer.

                                India Today Book Club — Money debited but parcel not reached

                                Dear sir,

                                They inform me on 23/11/08 for the free gift of Rs. 14, 000.00 that include holiday pakage and shoes etc. they will send shortly and they have charged the amount of Rs. 2249.00 from my Cradit Card on 24/11/08 too. But so far I have not receveid anything. I have doubt that they are doing the thing honestly. Rather they are cheating people as we see many complaints here.
                                Beacause their site http://offers.indiatodaybookclub.com/greatoffers.htm is not also working. also their Helpline no.[protected] is not working.
                                Lastly, can anyone help me to get my money backed?

                                My Member no. is ITBC08583132 and my email id is [protected]@gmail.com
                                I have sent a D.D. of Rs. 748 against the offer of Reebok Shoes on 25.11.08 but till todate I have neither received the shoes nor any mail from India Today Book Club about the status of my order. Even I have yet to receive a diamond pendant from Surat Diamond Jewellers for which I have sent a D. D. of Rs. 6200. This offer was also through India Today Book Club. Phone calls do not fetch anything.

                                ITBC — Ordered Cds not received till now and no holiday package has been provided

                                Dear Sir,
                                Its been two months since i have placed an order of Rs.2599 in which i have t0 recieve few cs and a reebok shoes along with a holiday package to any of the destination mentioned in the lists, but since last week after repeated follow up with the call centre i have recieved the reebok shoes delivered at my mailing address with an intimation that i have to collect the cd's from post office by paying a charge of 754extra, which was not mentioned on the offer document earlier .and with that i have not recieved any form for sending the choice of destination for the holiday package, I beliving the brand name of India today has thought of good service and good offer chose to go for this offer but facing all this problems i now feel that i am trapped and decieved and making my my mind to go legal for the harasshament i have faced during all these days after paying the amount instantly.

                                I would appreciate an immidiate look on tho this matter and provide me the necessary things which i should have got on purchase of the offer of 2599.

                                regards

                                paid rs 600 for 3cds+adidas bag +holiday offer.all i got was three corrupted cds showed incodec error when i tried to install for the first time.so returned the cds got replacement.do my utter disbelief these cds also had same prblem( may be they have sent back the same one).when i tried to install it showed incodec error & my system crashed.then reformated my system.after scanning the disk by spyware found there are TROJAN TYPE VIRUS.NOW HAVING USELESS ADIDAS BAG @ RS 600.NOT ABLE TO AVAIL HOLIDAY OFFER ALSO...
                                I had gone through all comments posted by various senders I don't believe such since Times of India Group is very prestigious and valued organisation. I would like to clarify that on today 26.12.2008 there was an advertisement that on booking 16 cd pack of Rs.1999/- plus 500/- handling charges there is free gift offer of two.1. 3 days 2 nights free stay for a couple at exoitic location and 2. Beneton track suit. My only question is it completely free as claimed by India times book club or some amount will be charged ? I am not at all sure.The same can be confirmed after receiving voucher.

                                Thanks
                                Krishna Roy
                                If any one in India today is listening, it will be great service to the company and constomers if they can clarify the intent and the gift scheme which is running.

                                Further the scheme seems somewhat illogical commercially. They are offering air return tickets + set of books + 1 year subsc + holiday package . All of this for <2000??? Wonder if India today also invested in stock exchange 1 2 ka 4 scheme.
                                India Today book club is a BIG FRAUD Company.
                                I didnt recv my order from two months
                                i did 1000 calls and mailed to them so many times ultimately they despatched the order.
                                call centre is the worst and i have never seen these kind of people.
                                Now they are not giving free gifts
                                CBI or COnsumer Court should look into alls complaint and should take action to aresst these people.
                                I have paid Rs. 700 & odd for the Reebok shoes discount offer. But yet I have not received the shoes.
                                Hiii I received an sms from indiatodaybooks.in ...which stated as You no [protected] have been selected for free gift voucher of Rs.3119/-...Code was C20246...I need some clarification when i will be receiving it !! Please let me know !!

                                indiatodaybookclub — fraudulant schemes

                                Recently (about a month back) I got a call from Indiatodaybook club and they told me that I am one of the lucky winners of an offer from them in which I have to pay an amount of Rs. 2598/- for 7 DVDs of Agatha Christie Detectives and would get free gift worth Rs. 12, 000/-. I was given an offer to pay through credit card, which was to be done through their IVR. Now they claim that I have not placed an order. Though I have not received any credit card statement for payment nor has my account been debited, I am afraid the credit card details could be misused. Please take action against this organisation for cheating people by falsly offering them gifts.

                                I have received another mail today in which I am being offer reebok shoes and track suits worth Rs. 8, 000/- on payment of Rs. 4, 000/-. If no action is taken against them they will continue to fool people endlessly.

                                You please take action against this organisation

                                Thanking you

                                India Today Book Club — Not received Shoes and Airfare Voucher

                                In mid November I got call fro India today Book club for buying CDS along with that I am going to get Rebook shoes they took size and everything They send CDS with taht they had given me the website to confirm my shoes and Air fare voucher and some other stuff. Bu site was under construction for around a month. When I could logged in to the site . There it shows totally different vouchers where there to have those Voucher I have to pay some Thousands o0Rupees extra. Not even replying to my e-mail.
                                Hello everybody,
                                I am unable to understand why a reputable magzine like India Today indulge itself in such a fraud. If I would have found this information earlier then my Rs.2350/- would have been saved. I was promised 20 CDs pack+Reebok Shoe+Rs.5000/- Diamond Voucher+Holiday Voucher on[protected]. After one month I received 20 CDs pack. On entering unique number I was offered only holiday voucher+return air ticket. There was no mention of Reebok Shoe or Diamond voucher. I contacted them, they told me there is some problem with the website, it will be sorted in one week. After one week the story didn't change. Then I sent an e-mail. They e-mailed me one link for diamond voucher and asked for my shoe number. The link didnot work and shoe is yet to reach me. Then two week ago I contacted Delhi office, now I am told that Diamond voucher is for crdit card payment only(I paid cash through VPP). I have sent the registration e-mail for holiday voucher but they have not responded in any manner. I would like to spread the message that please please don't fall prey to these cheaters.
                                Sorry,

                                I forgot to substantiate my orders in the previous comment

                                Hello Guys

                                Fully agree to the compliants.

                                The Fraud people collected total of Rs. 2589 and still not delivered the courier. India today is a big fraud like satyam. These people are only to eat people's money and then provide bull reason like "we sent it", "The info is not updated in our system".

                                One CSR told me that the Courier was sent on 6th Feb, But when contacted another time he said the courier was sent on 23rd Jan itself. The persons name was Justin Fernandes. Justin you are a big Fraud.

                                India today, we indians are shamed to have a media like you.
                                I also paid Rs 574 for an offer which included india today subscripton for 1 year + 3 cds + adidas bag + holiday voucher of which i received only bag & cds.I could not get the unique number even after calling them. These customer care people are of no use. I whole heartedly agree that they are just cheating people. I have written them mail with full details, but no use & no reply.
                                Its very pitiful that such a big company are looting ordinary people in these manners.Shame on India Today Group.

                                What happend to Roohi or Kuldeep who read my last mails but no reply??

                                I don't understand why nobody will be take care of my mails ? Every mail one officer will be looking after this and asking for some clarification with the quote of "We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you". But further no communication or follow-up.

                                I am sorry to say this, I have never witnesed such a disorganised custromer care. In other way u people are making us under the impression that we are nothing but begging for the refund.

                                My request.. please understand our humiliation and solve this issue and refund the amount.

                                I really fed-up of explaining this issue everyday to one new officer.

                                I appreciate, if any body sort out this and refund the amount.
                                Or else, I have to think what best I can do with the promises and assurances given in earlier mails by your customer care officers.

                                Please don't give chance us to think "why we have associated with INDIA BOOK CLUB."

                                Hope u will do the needful...

                                Thanks & regards

                                I received one call from ITBC saying one offer of Rs 2598/- for certain books and watch+air ticket +holiday package.

They are not responding my queries sent through mail. I am planning to go to consumer court. I will take printed copy of order page, my emails and complaints in this page as a proof.

                                    India today can be renamed as fraud today... i have booked my CD ROMs and given a membership number and web id to claim my free gifts.

                                    the customer support give some web address : www.booktoday.in/promos.htn...which is not treasable even at google or any search engine.

                                    why such a reputed company like india today do these activities. this act is like terrorism in software.

                                    i am still in a state of shock that i have been cheated like this... BEWARE OF INDIA TODAY BOOK CLUB.

                                    Dear Sir,

                                    Yesterday I spoke over phone No.[protected] to Mr. Prashant choudhary. He suggested to me to submit my unique code mention in Invoice and ITBC No on website www.booktoday.in/promos.htm for download my holiday voucher and Free round trip air ticket. I could try so, but could not find this site and also this sie is not available also.

                                    My ITBC Order No: 0GA[protected]

                                    I did not find the free gifts insdie the packets.. The packet was big enough to pack only C.D.s.. No were did they mention that the free gifts will be given only after some time and we have to log in again to their site to claim the free gifts. I f we all fight together we can stop them from atleast cheating others. I had a high esteem for Indian Today company, I did not even think that such a company will resort to such athings to make money. At least we can caution others to be cautious
                                    So many times I have sent Unique No.and other details regading My "free Gift Adidas Bag & free round Air trip Air ticket".But you are asking details again & again for details but no action will be taken.I think this is your business tactis and waste of time.How I trust on your business? If I made any payment on your given offer I think offer Or material will not get from you.Finally I concluded this your businee is "" and cheating only. I am very un happy on your cheating business.
                                    Once again Iam sending the following details

                                    good day
                                    i am very surprised to note that such a internationally known company can play around with the people .
                                    i booked the reebok sunglasses for Rs 999/= on telephone which was a call from india today, i was offered the free gift for hotel stay and was told that your free gift shall be dispatched with order. after receiving i didnt find any thing apart form the sunglasses. upon calling up several times the reponse was please check the free gift site and claim your gift . the site is not working and secondly why people have to do so when the message is very clear on mail send to me and on telephone that every thing shall be dispatched . why ? is the company fooling around with the people or some body making fraud .
                                    is there any one who can investigate this

                                        Hi,
                                        I do have the problem, but its somewhat different.
                                        I received the Bestseller books pack of 4 books and one Voucher for claiming for the free Adidas Bag.
                                        When i opened the site given in the voucher, it did asked for the invoice no. and membership no., but it later said that the no. s are invalid as they dont match with the no. that they have.

                                        Please help.
                                        My Invoice No. is ORB[protected]

                                        i received my three CDs which are not up to the mark very limited information is present in them may be books would be more better than these CDs. you have made people fools by luring them with offers which are never to be seen i never have expected this from you under the banner of India today so according to you Indiatoday is a bogus name which fools people by giving them false promises and minting money by sending CDs which are not worth it.

                                        I am equally affected person like the other complaninants. We feel it is very disgraceful on the part of such a prestigeous Organisation like India Today.
                                        However, so far any gifts on the renewal of subscription, We used to get.

                                        Perhaps this is the first time that such an unpleasentary situation is being faced. Hope that at an early date, the concerned authoriies of of the Book club will resolve these problems and set right the situation.

This site does not open when attempt was made to open it. It says site is not available. How to claim free gifts in such circumstances. This is certainly not the courtesy meted out to the privileged customers.

It is very surprising for me and I feel that how this has happened in case of 'India Toda' group.
                                        Kindly resend the same at your earliest and also note my details pertaining to get free gifts and others.
