Rediff.com India Complaints & Reviews

I ordered for an Ipad Mini Cover from Rediff Shopping (Order No: 8283271) which was mentioned to be delivered in 3 days.
Kept waiting but there was no update provided by Rediff.com so I contacted customer care multiple number of times and i was always replied that it will be delivered in next 3-4 days.

I called up again 3 days back and they mentioned we will provide you an update by next day. But still no updates and no information when the product will be dispatched.
Also, I was surprised when they asked me to contact the vendor directly ( No one picks the phone on the number mentioned ). Why would anyone will purchase from rediff when they will have to contact the vendor themselves.

I expect the money to be returned back as i cant keep waiting for the product and keep following up with rediff customer care.

When I checked it after the delivery it wasn't working with any of the sim cards, when I contacted the vendor mimzy (prabin agarwal), first of all he took a month to replace the and when I got the phone or turned out to be defective add well. He promised to get that phone repaired and gave me a stupid temporary phone. It's been more than a month now and he had not been answering my calls. Somebody please help, I need to get my phone back or Atleast the refund. I suggest nobody shops from rediff specially from this vendor mimzy(prabin agarwal)

I had placed my orders on a JBL and an iPhone headset on Rediff Shopping a week ago. Pictures and details found over there said that the products were genuine. Products got delivered correctly and on right time. I asked the courier service personnel whether I can check the material before accepting. They said that this facility is not provided. Well, after that I didn't care much as the website said the products were legitimate. I accepted both of them costing Rs.325.00/- and Rs.300.00/- respectively. I opened them and found that the JBL headsets were broken. Had design problem and other problems in hearing. The sound quality is not clear, sounded almost like those 80rupee headsets available in the Shealdah market. Same thing happened with the iPhone headset. I found that it was a Chinese product provided to me by rediff shopping. Even there is no microphone to be used while making a call. I mean this thing is really ridiculous. They are cheating on their customers by selling fake items over the internet.

I tried to contact them via phone using their toll free customer care number. But every time I ring them up the automated voice response says, "all out customers care executives are busy at the moment". This is one hell of service and its irritating. I found no solution than contacting consumer forum. Looking forward for some help now. If I could, I would have thrashed them all in open public. I want them to either to refund my money or to replace the products with a genuine product. Please help.

HI,
I had purchased an Espirit Mens Watch on Rediff online shopping on 15th June, requesting for a delivery on 20th June. The product was meant to be a surprise gift to my father on the occassion of Father's day and hence we did not inform him. The product was delivered on the 25th June, however my Father refused to accept it as the senders name mentioned on the parcel was not mine and of someone else's ( most probably the shipper). Since it was an unknown person, my father did not accept it due to security reasons.

While I was checking online with the consignment number on the night of 25th June, I found that the status showed as returned to rediff. I got in touch with my father and he confirmed that a courier was refused. I then sent an email to Rediff asking them to reship and that I will pay the additional shipping charge.
Rediff replied on 27th June with the following content:

"Dear Sir/Mam,

Greetings from Rediff.com

Kindly note that we are investigating your order status with the concerned vendor. As soon as we receive feedback from them we will revert back to you.Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.

Also we would like to inform you that kindly place a fresh order regarding the same.

We assure you courteous, prompt service on all your visits to www.rediff.com.

I, however email back to them asking for either a refund of the earlier paid money for the product or reship the product and that I will pay the additional shipping charge. Since then I have sent several reminders, however in vain as Rediff has not bothered to contact me back, nor did they refund the money, nor have they reshipped the product. The original product and the shopping details are as follows:

Product Title: esprit watch es[protected]
order number: 8129138
Vendor: Jatin Chandyok ( [protected]@hotmail.com )
Dispatched through Velocity courier with consignment number [protected]

I presently stay outside India and am not able to dial the Rediff customer support number as it seems that it can be dialled only from within India. I have asked rediff to provide me with the number that can be dialled from outside India, however they have not provided anything.
I would request your support to either get my money refunded to my credit card or reship the product. My details are mentioned below:

Please assist me.I have ordered cake for birthday on 4 July but, when I check my product status there is no details which could tell me when it will be delivered.

I called to customer care to make sure that the things are fine, but I am trying from yesterday and they always provide me with the voice message - all our customer care executives are busy.

Any time I call, I received the same message and according to the instructions in voice message , it says press 7 so that our executive will call you back.But guess, no call , no reply, nothing.Even after sending them email as well, no reply to it. I feel like cheated.Where to confirm when no one is responding.

I am literally confuse now, whether to wait for them and their order or shall I re-order from any other site.

I ordered a pair of lotto shoes UK-9 but they sent the smaller size and those shoes are not of my use because they are not fit for my foot. I called rediff, mailed them as well as I called the dealer also named aggarwal enterprises located in Delhi, but no response from these people. As soon as I got the shoes I raised called and E-mailed them on another day and till now (8 days) they did not reply me. When I called dealer they told me mail rediff and in reply you will get a mail, show that mail to us and replace your shoes. So, they are not going to E-mail me and I wont get the replacement. Guys dont believe these people as they did with me. I lost Rs.1048 because of these people.

Sir,
Rediff shopping has cheated me delivering a cheap and sub standard item, instead of giving me the item i ordered.
I have ordered a 4 port usb hub with power adapter, as per their site description as per order no 8147030 dated[protected] Transaction No.[protected].I paid Rs 769 for the item. But on opening the the packet delivered, i found that the item i received is different- a cheap and sub standard USb hub costing a very less amount. Immediately, i complained to the customer care of rediff shopping through phone and by e mail. But no action has been taken to replace the item. i have been contacting them daily but i do not get a satisfying reply.
I am totally disappointed over the cheating i have undergone and I need justice in this regard. I may be given the item for which i have paid for or refund the amount i have paid, by taking back the the sub standard item they have dispatched.
yours faithfully

Hi Sir/Mam,

I had placed an order (Order number: 8090155) for classic slim lunch Tupperware box on 6th of June.
Have received a wrong product(instead of classic slim lunch box , small slim lunch box delivered) on 17-June-2013.When i called REDIFF customer care they refused to log a compliant and asked me drop a mail for further guidance.But till date i have not received any reply from REDIFF. REDIFF is not bothered about what has been shipped to the customer and i have never faced this kind of torture from any of the online shopping sites.Request you to take necessary actions against this site for being shipping wrong products and not reverting to clients complaints.

Thanks & Regards,
Aparna.P

REDIFF SHOPPING comes with a website to make fool of people. I placed an order of a small piece o[censored]tility furniture for the amount of INR appx 1900/- via order no. 7946060. It came defective. I sent an email for complain, 10 days later they sent me an address and ask me to courier the same on that address.

I spent my money to courier it. The recipient refused to accept my packet and it came back to me. After a three weeks of my follow up and complain they again sent me an address this time of Mumbai and asked me to courier the article there.

From my own pocket I again dispatched the article. Over a month has been passed and no reply has been received from them.

So after spending INR 3000/- and following up for 3 months I have nothing in hand.

Please act on my complaint.

SIr, I had ordered rain suit for 349 Rs from Rediff Shopping on 3 June 2013 (Order No 8080228) , I received the same on 10 June 2013, And I was surprised to see the low quality material and the size of it was very short for me.
On the same day (10 june) I mailed them rediff shopping that I dont want this Item and want to be refunded; I mailed them four times in this matter but still today I have not received any single reply from them.

Sir If I am facing this issue, then there must be lots of middle class like me out there, who face the same issue with Rediff Shopping. Because the material sold by them is easily available in our local markets cheaper and good enough than Rediff Shopping
