IndiaTimes Shopping: Scam | Fraud | Hoax | Cheat Hi,
My first ever buy outside of the trusted online vendors [ebay and flipkart]
I bought a B739163 - Amazon Kindle Touch* for the price Rs 7898 by Net-Banking [As cash on delivery was conveniently unavailable]
My Order Number is 30000019111
[it was the cheapest buy, now my costliest mistake]
The order was placed on 14th dec 2011, and cancelled by me on 28th dec 2011 because the item was not even shipped, "all my calling to customer care" did was raise a query. My latest case no is 71195.
The refund is due since.
Repeated complaints have fallen on defy ears, and all i have been provided for my money is false assurances,
that the money will be refunded immediately.
This plain dismissal on their part by lack of concrete actions, is basically pushing me to register a legal complaint.
Its my one month salary.
I say concrete action because, they do have a Customer Service to vent frustration, but no real authority or power other than raising query.
I even got a call from some "Pratik" from the refund department of indiatimes shopping, not once but twice, and he had no idea that he had called me before also. He did quote that indiatimes has "too many refund request", so my request is taking time.
Any help on how I should proceed with the legal procedure will be great. pointing me in the right direction will do to.
Like where all should i register the complain for E - Commerce. At a police station or with the bank??
Thanks.
Rohit Bhosle.
P.S. -> If someone still wants to buy from indiatimes shopping, I suggest only if Cash on Delivery is a option, if not seriously, trust me just show the finger, and get the item from flipkart or ebay.

If they have "too many refund requests" then that means that they have a lot of unsatisfied customers, how pathetic.
Yeah, a lot of these websites have a lot to hide it seems. I'd earlier ordered a smartphone on Cash On Delivery from Naaptol & I'd already said while placing the order that I'll inspect it first before paying but when the courier-guy actually came with the order, he won't let me inspect it & calling customercare also didn't amount to anything so I let him take the parcel back........then I also checked for the same product on indiaplaza & as you say "conveniently" they didn't have the Cash on Delivery Option!
I agree with you that we should always go for Cash On Delivery & always check the product before paying or be ready to lose our money. A lot of these websites, quite conveniently either don't have Cash On Delivery & if they do then they don't want us to check it & if it turns out to be faulty, we are expected to pay for that, how pathetic!
Sorry, can't help much but I hope someone here will be able to direct you in the right direction.Last edited by CautiousCustomer; 01-26-2012 at 02:26 PM.
