Woodland Complaints & Reviews

I stay in Faridabad ( Haryana ) . I went to Bhopal last week with family . I purchased a foot wear for my son from Woodland store ( E5 / 11, Near Habibganj Police station, Bitten Market, Bhopal ) vide TIN no - [protected], Bill number 576 dated 17.5.09 . The contact number of the shop is[protected]

I am shocked to see that threads are coming out, beading is coming out so badly in less than a week time . The footwear was costig Rs.1595-00 and we have lost faith in the brand of of woodland .

There seems to be something fundamental wrong in the manufacturing process of the woodland factory . How can a footwear behave even worse than a road-side shop quality ??

my child is not able to use this footwear at all now . Please let me know where should i despatch these foowear ... This is surely my last purchase of woodland brand ..

I am extremely dissatisfied with the Woodland product & service. One month ago I purchased a pair of shoes from Woodland Showroom (Begumpet, Hyderabad branch). Shoe got damage because of Woodland spray polish which I purchased along with the shoe. I gave the shoe for repair but the showroom people were unable to repair it and they said that it has to be sent to Delhi at their main branch. I asked them to replace it but they denied it. Its been more than 15 working days and I am still waiting for their response and every time I have to call them to check for the update. At this point of time, I am very upset with all this run-around procedure and will make sure that no one buys Woodland shoes among my friends & relatives. This is the worst service which I have received till date. I hope someone seriously take action on such companies who are just eat-up customer money and never provide the service which they are mentioning on the promotions.

I purchased a fresh pair of shoes (Tin no. [protected]) costing Rs. 2595/ for my son from M/S Aero Club Sop No. 39, Cloud Nine, The Mall Amritsar on 11/10/08 vide cash memo no. 197. The sole of one shoe started to crack after two months. When I approached the show room, they said It won't be further damaged. However within three months It cracked further.
When I approached the salesman there, he advised me to visit some other day because only manager could attend the complaint. Next time after arguments, they agreed to replace the sole for Rs. 450/ .
Actually they should replace the pair and give me the new one. If at all the company only replaces the sole, I should not pay for it.
I request that I should immediately get repalcement or else I shall have to approach the consumer court for the harrassment and the defective product.

Dear sir / madam, My shoes started peeling off from inside leather within 4 months from buying it. When I approached the retailer at Sahara Mall, Gurgaon, he has cleverly told me that the warranty is for 3 months only. However, on persuasion, the shoes were taken for repairs. But after one month, they have indicated that damage is irrepairable and have offered me a compensation eqvt to 70% of the original value. But the catch is that I have...

I Pranav Mehta from Pune(laxmi road), India had visited the WOODLAND showroom and purchased a footwear which has 3 months warrenty but unfortunately in 15-20 days stiches in front of the footwear came out.while puchasing the sandal they did not informs us how to maintain the footwear( about spray) . when footwear was damaged the manager of the showroom was blaming us that it is done by yourself. As soon as we reached the showroom, the manager reacted very carelessly and spoke rudely and really very bad in his behaviour .After the footwear was repaired again stiches came out.while slightly washing the footwear blackish spots would appear and after drying the footwear would become FAINT.
i request you to please replace the footwear due its defect and there is no CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.

Hello

I bought a Woodland Sandal on 22/07/2008 for Rs 1270(Bill No: 2056) (Article: GD 4047 Khakhi Foowear) from Woodland store located at S.V. Road, Andheri (West), Mumbai (Earthline Apparels Private Ltd., Contact no:[protected]. At the time of purchase, I was informed that any kind of damage to the sandal would be covered under Service/ Warranty for 1 year. Also when I queried, why the detail of the 1 year warranty is not mentioned on the bill, I was informed that in case of any problem I should just get the bill along and the repairing would be done free of charge until 1 year.
The cushion below the foot has come apart(torn) within just 6 months o[censored]se.
When I brought this to the notice of Woodland store located in Bhayandar(East), I was asked by the representative at the store to get the footwear and it would be repaired without any charge being levied. On taking my sandal to the Bhayandar store, the representative had changed and new representative informed that it is covered under warranty and not under service period and warranty is only for 3 months and not a year. I was surprised to hear this new policy from a new representative.I directly made the representative speak with manager of the Andheri storeJai Singh(as he introduced himself) and he promised that he would do as promised and get the Sandal repaired. I was asked to contact the store where I bought it i.e. Andheri Woodland store(Earthline Apparels, S.V. Road) and to get the sandals to his store and mentioned he would do as promised.
Today when I called up the store to take the sandal for repair, I was informed Jai Singh is on Leave for 15 days. If this delay continues, I would end up crossing the 1 Year period and then I would get charged for the repair.


Arent the Woodland Organisation seniors keen on delivering quality products and service and also have a uniform policy across all stores and all representatives?
This would spare the customer from being fooled.

I hope my complaint reaches the right audience and this issue of harrasing the consumer/ customer with weird company policies comes to halt.

Please look into this at the earliest.

I HAD PURCHASED THE SHOES ARTICLE NO.GS4048 CAMEL 41 FOOTWEAR FROM AEROCLUB, WOODLAND STORE, SHOP # 1, 2, 3, 4, 26A ORCHID TOWER HINDUSTAN PARK, KOLKATA ON 10MARCH 2009. WITHIN 2 DAYS OF WEARING THE SHOES I FACED A PROBLEM. THE SOLES OF THE SHOES GOT CRACKED AND THE LEATHER STARTED WEARING OUT.I WENT TO THE SHOP THE VERY NEXT DAY AND REQUESTED THE SHOPKEEPER TO CHANGE THE SHOES. HOWEVER HE GAVE US A COMPLAINT NO AND ASKED US TO CONTACT HIM AFTER 2 WEEKS SO THAT HE WOULD REPLACE THE SHOES WITH A NEW PAIR. HOWEVER AFTER TWO WEEKS WHEN WE WENT BACK TO THE SHOP, THEY SAID THAT THE SAME MODEL OF THE SHOE WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND THEY INSISTED THAT WE TAKE A NEW MODEL WHICH WAS MORE EXPENSIVE THEN THE 1ST ONE.

I bought a pair of shoes of woodland from PRIME SPORTS, 39/1700, M G ROAD, PALLIMUKKU, ERNAKULAM, KERALA on 03.01.09 vide bill no.8798 availing a discount of Rs.750/- on the marked price of the shoes Rs.2495/- and I paid Rs.1745/- including VAT @ 12.5%
I gave back the shoes to the dealer on 11.03.09 as the sole of one of the shoes was too damaged to use. The shoes were taken by the dealer for sending it to their HQ requsting me to wait for about 20 days
Today 06.04.09 when I went to the shop to enquire the shoes I handed over, I was told that the company stopped production of the model I purchased and said I can take any other model and the value of it will be reduced Rs.1745/- Ipaid for the shoes I purchased.
I bought the shoes only wooed by the heavy discount offered by the company and while purchang it I asked the sales man about the quality of the shoes and he assured me shoes are as good as new and the discount is the yearly discount offer by the company.
My demand is that, I should get a reduction of Rs.2495/- on the shoes I purchase in place of my old shoes I handed over, maintaining the discount I have been given.

Hi,

I purchased a woodland shoe on 19 January 2009 for Rs1, 900.00 from the Lower Parel factory outlet. Haveing barely used it for a week the sole started wearing off on the sides. On 13 February 2009 I gave the shoe for pasting at the Andheri West outlet near Shoppers Stop. It took them two weeks to paste the shoe. It wasnt the time that shocked me but the manner in which it was pasted.

I have now received the shoe but after pasting there are scrape marks and the work is extremely shabby. It is shocking to note that a company like Woodland can provide such a product and was further suprised to see the kind of aftersale service that was provided. One look at the shoe and looks like it has been used for a year!!

I purchased a woodlanf brand khaki shoe apray from'Fusion shoe park' on laxmi roadPune vide bill no:12986 on 10.02.2009. It cost me Rs.175.with product code:[protected]. Iused it just once. When I tried to spray on 18.03.09 the spray nozzle is not workking. When I complained to the shop they refused to listen and said there is no guarantee and company does not replace.
What the use of this poilsh conatiner if I cant use it.
This is really rubbish and careless behaviuour of the company. I need to get the same replaced.

Dear Sir,

Leather of the one shoe is totally squeezed and looking very shabby and shape of the both shoes also changed. I went to shop for the replacement but he refused.
I would request you to do the needfull in the matter.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear Sir,

Tel No[protected] vide Invoice No 10257 Dated 28th Jan 2009. Suddenly on 14th of January Pasting of Sole of both shoes removed . We were very much surprised that company is charging almost double of the market price of their quality and when...

I had a very worst experience shopping a pair footwear for my wife. I had a very good opinion on the brand name Woodlands, but the bad experience, I had presenting a pair of footwear to my wife made be realize they are just equal to any other footwear shop on the pavement.

I bought footwear for my wife, In just a day or so the black color coating on the toes and heal area of the footwear started to change white, the point I would like to make here is that. One footwear changed color very fast than the other. It was a black and white slipper. I was disgusting time to face my wife.

When I approched the shop were I bought the footwear in Pondy Bazar in Chennai for a immediate replacement, The manager wants 15days to investigate for replacement.

Why as a customer, I should undergo all the trouble to wait 15days, for the manufacturers lack of quality ??

Ultimately a very bad experience with Woodlands & Woodlands is loosing another good customer.

I HAD PURCHASED THE SHOES ARTICLE NO.RIGC 0407107 ASSR 0 FROM AERO CLUB WOODLAND STORE SHOP NO.158 KAPIL VIHAR, PITAMPURA, NEWDELHI, INDIA ON 07 JANUARY 2009. WITHIN 2 WEEK I GOT A PROBLEM AND TRY TO CONVENCE SHOP KEEPER TO REPLACE THE SHOES BUT HE ENSURED ME THAT IT CAN NOT BE REPLACED AND REPAIRED FREE OF COST SO THEY RETURN THE SHOES 12 DAYS AFTER PASTING. AGAIN AFTER 2 DAYS I GOT A NEW PROBLEM AND SHOES IS NOT ABLE TO WEAR ANY MORE...
I TRIED MY BEST TO CONVENES THEM TO REPLACE THE SHOES BUT THEY REPLIED WHAT YOU CAN DO YOU CAN AND AT ANY RATE WE WILL NOT REPLACE THE SHOE.
THE SHOPKEEPER IS NOT READY TO EXCHANGE MY SHOES SO I NEED YOUR HELP .
AND PLEASE LOOK FORWARD THE MATTER COZ HOW MANY TIME I CAN REPAIRED MY NEW SHOES

I, Kuldeep Kumar is a Central Govt. employee servicing in Labour and Employment Ministry, New Delhi. I bought a pair of woodland shoes from one of Karol Bagh Woodland Showroom, Delhi at a cost of Rs. 2095/- in last July, 2007. I am a very fond of woodland shoes as I am using the woodland shoes from my college days i.e. since 1997.

But, after two months, a small dot appeared in one of shoe sole, which I ignored. But after some time, te small dot becomes a hole and subsequently the gap of this hole is become widened and the sole started cracking. I am sure that it is a manufacturing process fault. This was very embarrassing for me.

I visited the Karol Bagh showroom for complaint; they simply told me that the warranty of the shoes was only for 6 months. I was shocked to hear this that Woodland shoes life is just 6 months. Anyhow, I asked them to replace the sole with some cost, they demanded Rs. 450/- for sending these to woodland company for sole replacement charges and this time they too not give any guarantee, whether the sole was actually replaced or after replacement it has no guarantee, which was also embarrassing for me. I wore these shoes only about six or seven months completely.

I send my shoes through courier for sole replacement to Woodland company to M/s. Aero Club, Khasra No.-492/2/1, Vill.-New Kedarpur, Industrial Area, Paonta Sahib, Distt. – Sirmaur (H.P.) on 06.10.2008. But till than there is no answer from the company. I again send a reminder vide dated 20.01.2009, but there is still no answer from them. They should inform me about the progress of my complaint.

Thanking you and waiting for an early reciprocal from you.
