Times Of India Complaints & Reviews

I am from production house, for our new movie we needed some pictures of 1960s, which we thought that it will be available with you. For same i called your landline number of head office, fort. As i was not having any contact person name, i asked your receptionist to connect me to relevant team to get the pictures. She connected me to 1 extinction but call was unanswered. I tried trice but no 1 received the call. On another attempt your receptionist was angry and said we do not provide help, also we do not have time to help anyone in getting the pictures of newspaper. On which i asked to provide me appointment so i can visit and get the details. But she denied loudly and disconnect the call directly.

I request you to pull out the call and listen it. The whey she has spoken to me. It was really very rude and unprofessional. Such unprofessional people may spoil the name of big brand of toi.

I am writing this to you in hope of action will be taken on her for unprofessional-ism.

Toi is cheating and giving false promises to its readers when it says "no minimum purchase" vouchers of ₹500/- from lenskart. Since past few days, lenskart has disallowed the use of these vouchers on products priced at below ₹500/-. If this is their new condition, then why are you claiming no minimum purchase. This is a clear case of mis-information and cheating readers of toi.
Toi is still advertising on their front page every day, these vouchers are with no minimum purchase condition, whereas the facts are different. They have even gone to the extent of cancelling orders which were initially accepted, by claiming that products are out of stock.

My customer id is [protected]. I have been a regular subscriber of toi newspaper for the last 4 years. The local vendor, chandar kumar, is very poor service provider. Repeated complaints against his poor service have been made by me to mr. Balaji, (Mobile # [protected]), but he expresses his inability to control this nasty vendor. Balaji says that the vendor faces no competition from anyone else. That is the main reason he cannot recommend changing him.
The higher authorities of toi must device a wayout to handle such a nasty vendor. Try to raise the commission for the vendor for my area. That may attract more vendors.
If toi has no solution to tackle this problem, kindly refund to me the recently subscribed sum of rs.599/- as subscription for another one year with effect from december 1, 2019.

Today i called him and told him why are u keeping the paper there and not at my place, he told me i wil not deliver it there be whatsoever or else come and collect it from the stall and threatened me and told go do what you want, and top of that he tells me ur subscription is over long back for which i will attach the order cum receipt with this for the proof that my subscription lasts till dec’19.
I request you to take action against this man at the earliest
I’m attaching his photo how angrily he was giving us his looks, the pic of newspaper condition and the order cum receipt

We have subscribed times of india newspaper from 5 months but only one month we received the paper after that till today we never received the paper. We contacted the subscriber and authority they never took the responsibility and did not give any proper response. I would kindly request for delivering paper regularly or refund the amount. We are ready to lodge complaint and claim refund by approaching consumer court.

I had made a booking for times newspaper subscription under order id: ts0003617 on 7 sep 2019. My services has still not started status as on 26 sep 2019. Please advise. No response from customer care. No response on emails.

I have to inform you that i am buying toi, nbt and et newspaper from the above center from your salesmen santosh.
Salesman santosh is himself a hawker who is unable to deliver newspapers in time to the rest of the hawkers, as work of both a salesman and a hawker cannot be done by a single man, as both have the same timings, from many days to me and others it is inconvenient to get your newspaper easily.

This morning, i reached to pick up the newspaper at around 5:04 am, at that time, salesman santosh was filling the supplements in his newspaper. He told me to take a bundle of times of india, and to come later when i will be free and take navbharat times and et, it has happened many times before also.

Here i also want to make you aware that if santosh is in a hurry to distribute his newspapers, so do the rest of the hawker take the newspaper for the trash, if we do not get the newspapers in time, then we will not be able to deliver the newspaper in time to the reader.

When i said that i want the newspapers now, he refused to give the newspapers and also argued with me. Due to which today toi, nbt and et newspapers could not be distributed to the readers.

Therefore, in the interest of both the press and the hawkers, it is necessary that the present salesman mr. Santosh be replaced by another salesman, who will be able to deliver the newspapers to everyone in time.

Please take appropriate action immediately considering the above issue

A call and a letter has already been send to ci of nanakpura center but no action has been taken instead an support is been provided to salesman.

After waiting 1 month and continuous follow up, yearly toi paper subscription not happening.

Two days they have delivered again toi total team sales, operation and delivery guy absconded.

After getting money is this ethic way of doing business.

I will take it up legally further if any response to mail or personal follow up.
