Dear Sir/ Madam,

I had purchased hat the product The Children's English Learner Laptop as a new year gift for my child. The product & shopping details are as follows

Product Title 1011 laptop delivered for Transaction #[protected] for which the Order Approval Dt was 27/12/2008.

To my utter dismay the kids laptop was not working.

Feedbacks were posted on the company website but there was no revert. Mails were also sent, calls made to the company but there is no response.

It has been very bad experience with the first internet shopping I have done.

Would request your help in getting a refund from the company

Sir, Madam
Please tell me the solution for this problem i could not get the chatroom list its just block on fetching chatroom pls pls i am having this problem frm 10 days

I have ordered a “TITAN Ladies Watch - Karishma-2211YM01” on dated 14th Nov 2008. I paid the money Rs. 1830 online from my ICICI A/C to Rediif shopping.

Then after my request they (Gautam shah- customer representative, please see attached mail) at Rediff shopping, approved this item and told me they have couriered it to me.

This item was dispatched via BLAZE FLASH Couriers with the airway, but it did not reach me. When I contact them they say they have sent back the consignment to the office where it came from. I asked them which office, they did not say anything.

As you can see that the consignment is moving to places but did not reach me. You can also see that there is no mention of my name & address.

I think this is a fraud case and I want this not to happen to anyone else.

I bought a portable sewing machine online as a gift to my mother from Rediff online shopping on 10 October - Order number-4933225. On 15th October i received a hand sewing machine, which was nothing more than a 'STAPLER with a thread.' I tried calling Ojjas Enterprises who were the sellers for the product, but it is busy 24/7. I then posted a complaint on Rediff, Vineesh Jain responded, asking me to courier the product. Which i did and sent an email to rediff confirming the same. But till now I haven't got any response whatsoever. I am thoroughly disgusted with the customer service. Inspite of 5 chasers, there was no response at all. I want everyone to be aware of the service of Rediff Online Shopping cheating tatics.

i purchased below product from Rediff Shopping on 11/11/2008 and recd it on 17/11/2008 and paid Rs978 in cash
but when i opened the Parcel... found both product defective.

Product # 1 - Formal watch - with free Sunglasses
AWB # [protected]

Product # 2 - Educational Laptop with Free Electronic Musical Synthesizer worth Rs. 399 /- And Electronic Locomotive Complete Train set worth Rs 249/-
AWB# [protected]

but found both product are defective and i returned them back on 22nd November
but till today i have not recd refund money

Dear Sir,

The item (Ben 10 Ben's Omnitrix F/X Watch With Light & Sound) ordered by me was delivered today at 5:45pm. But it is most annoying to note that the item in the packet has been replaced with Ben 10 - Ben's Omnitrix Alien Disk Shooter. This is done intentionally as the original packing was found tampered. This kind of act is fraudulent and one would never expect this from a reputed company like yours.

I would request you to send me the product I have ordered immediately and impede me from making extreme measures. My advocate refrain me from returning the item delivered to me, unless I am supplied with the item I have originally ordered.

Hope you will resolve the issue immediately. I am attaching the photos of the product received, as in condition.

Regards,

Vrijmohan T.

I purchased 1GB Shuffle Mp3 player With USB Charger via order 4912751 approved on Thu, Oct 2, 2008 at 9:50 AM. I received the approval via email from [protected]@shoppingmails.rediff.com

It has not even been 30 days and the instrument is now not working properly. When plugged via USB to the computer, the system doesn't recognize this USB Device. The volume has also gone down drastically and the ear piece seems to be of the worst quality.

I did speak with Mr. Shah @ [protected] few days ago and was told to courier the player at your office in Hyderabad. I did contact with couple of courier services, none of them are willing to courier the item as it carries a risk factor.

Since then, I have been trying to call on the same number [protected] and did not get any response.

Even i had send lot of mails to rediff but dsn't get any kind of reply from their side.

Thanking you
Naveen

Dear Sir,

I had ordered an Strings MP3 Player(with Arm Clip) FM Tunner with 1 month warranty from Rediff shopping on 27th October 2008 against order no.4972532. After one week I got a different product from Mayank Electronics, 4-4-312, Giriraz Lane Kothi Hyderabad-500095 Andhra Pradesh. Ph.32443594 and Mob no.[protected] (Mr.Mayak). I kept on calling them and now 3 weeks are passed and they are doing nothing about it.

Kindly do the needful. I do not intend to take any type of product from them and wish to get back my cash.

It is an advise to everyone that do not buy things from Rediff shopping especially Mayank Electronics, Hyderabad. It is really frustrating and disgusting.

recently i bought clothes worth rupeees 1350 from rediff shopping...to my dismay the clothes delivered to me were not the one s i had selected on the net and were of very poor quality.stay away from rediff shopping, the brands on display are not originals but cheap imitations which one can instead pick up from the roadside.Disgusting to say the least i thought rediff was a reliable company dont be fooled by their cheap prices!!!

Dear Sir,
I ordered (Order# 4981781) Rediff Shopping online a 22CRT GOLD FORMING ADJUSTABLE KADA (PAIR) of Rs 299 on 3rd November 2008. Also Paid Shipping and handling charges Rs.75. I paid the amount thru credit card. I received a mail from rediff abt the dispatch, but till date there is no delivery.

The vendor's ( Mamta Arora) mobile number is fake. And the consignment no ([protected] ) of Aramex provided by rediff is also fake. I sent 3 mails to rediff customer care, but there is no response. Then i called on phone to the customer care, still no response.

Pls look into the details. I will be grateful to you.

Regards
