India Today Book Club Complaints - Order not shipped even after 3 months!

Review all India Today Book Club complaints

India Today Book Club

Order not shipped even after 3 months!
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 3 votes
I had ordered some books and CDs from India Today Book Club on 20th Feb 2007. Till 13th April 2007, I did not receive the books and the CDs. Many emails sent to their customer care department remain unanswered. Though the company belongs to a reputed media group, their service level is very disappointing. I intend to lodge a complaint with the cyber crime cell of Mumbai Police if they do not respond to my mails and deliver the promised merchandise within a week. I was told that this issue can be classified under cyber fraud. Looks like the company will wake up only when a summon is issued by the Police to its MD.

Hi

I suffer from the same case. I paid on 19th December and have been sending repeated reminders to response@indiatodaybookclub.com and calls.

No replies. Though it is reputed company, it has a pathetic service. How can they just ignore emails and phone calls.

Hi,

There seems to be something wrong in this, the same happened to me, i ordered for some books and cds on the 27th April, 2007 and paid online, and with in seconds got a mail from orders@indiatodaybookclub.com, stating that the payment has been received and orders would be dispatched within 2 to 3 weeks. Still date the order has not been received. I think we should take up the case with Cyber Crime Branch.

Regards,
Senthil

I have also been a victim. I placed an order more than 2 months ago and paid at that time through credit card. I'm yet to receive the books and the CD's I ordered. An email query was never responded to! Some time back, though, I got an email saying that delivery would be delayed. Numerous attempts to call up their Delhi telephone nos. went unattended. I am planning to take it up with Aroon Purie himself by email, failing which I'll take it up with consumers' court. Let's see...

I had also paid by credit card and it has been 40 days but have not received the books I ordered. I tried the Delhi numbers and e-mail address as mentioned but no response till now. This is disgusting.

I am a member of ITBC for the past several years. My membership number is ITBC 99018637.

Reecently I have been getting communication from ITBC showing my membership number as ITBC 07266989. Please do clarify why I have been given two membership numbers. This creates coinfusion in ordering of books, payments etc.

I would prefer that my original number 99018637 is retained and the new number deleted.

It appears that the company is not bothered at all about their image. May be they think they are a media giant and therefore could get away with anything!!

I had ordered some CDs and material through mail order. Made the payment through credit card. Got a mail from them stating that they have received the payment and that the shipment will reach me shortly. Even after three months, I haven't received the material. Mails to their email id simply bounce every time.

I had ordered one year subscription of India today through India Plaza website which is a reputed online selling company. After online transfer of money to India Today account I was told by their website that payment unsuccessful. However the money is taken out from my account. Customer care of India Today asked me to send me email with details which I promptly did but after that no response from them. Even India plaza people are making excuses. What is this nonsense . Is their any agency or law which can punish these people and save our rights as consumers. Please advice me as I am very disappointed.

I got the Adidas bag... i got the CDs... I got regular subscribed books...
and the offers are available...
they are not fools to give everything free... (no offence)

every one has their own means to attract people and make their own business...
its a kind of collaboration... promotional offers...

say, u have choosen a holiday trip... stay is free... but not food... so, definitely u wud be consuming sth for ur diet... u spent sth.. /// this ans. may not really satisfy u... but some way or the other they will make u to spent some money... marketing, sales & distribution strategies...

This is regarding an Concise Encyclopedia Britannica CD sent to me by you, received after payment of Rs. 199/- . The details are as follows:

I would like to thank you for the CD and the accompanying Adidas bag.
But later I found that the the CD you sent me was a scratched unit and it cannot be read in a CD Drive. I am sorry that I received a CD that cannot be used.
It is quite unbecoming of an establishment like the India Today Book Club.
Kindly replace the CD with one that can be of use for me.
Expecting a quick response in this matter,
I remain,
Yours Expectant,
Joseph John
