    Default Beware of Indiatimes shopping fraud

    An ad was given about toys worth 4000 will be given a discount of 50% that is at Rs 2000, but later on I realized that it was not worth 4000, but just 1300 to 1500, through other shops in local market.
    Customer care service is horrible, i was told the order was cancelled but they dispatched the cancelled product to me. After calling customer service and sent mails to operations@indiatimes and customerservice@indiatimes.com, there has been no proper response at all, these two mail IDs are almost invalid, til date i have not received any response at all. I do not really understand why they have given these 2 IDs when they do not respond.

    I was also told a gift coupon worth Rs250 for credit card purchase, which I am yet to get, when I call customer service, they say that it wil be sent in 72 hours, then 72 hours just pass, and there is no mail sent. The one toy that had been sent does not work at all.

    This will be the first and last time that I will be shopping through indiatimes. I hope people will learn from my experience and keep away from indiatimes shopping.

    Default Fraud

    If you are talking about 10 toys for Rs 3999. I am with you.

    I am just searching for their postal address. Does anybody have that?
    I am sending a legal notice to them for cheating.

    My problem was 2 folds:
    1. They shipped one toy less, so shipped just 9
    2. Broken toys

    When I contacted them, since May-23rd, it looks like they are just "following up with the merchant"

    I have already contacted the lawyer, I am so damn angry that I am ready to spend more and teach them a lesson.

    Those toys were for my 2 year old son and we were eagerly waiting for that, they played with emotions as well.
    There is no remorse or feeling of guilt in their support staff at least.

    I do lot of shopping online, I never had this experience. Pathetic, for lack of words and agonizing.
