This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Last year, I a member of the India Today Book Club with membership no. ITBC [protected] placed an order along with prepayment in the form of bank draft for 4 books. Three books were received but one book 'Botanica' was not sent on the ground that it is not available in stock and will be sent once it is available. Even after passage of about 9 months, there has been no further communication. I desire that the ordered book is sent at the earliest.

Dear Sir,

I am Mandeep Singh and I had ordered an Enclclopedia Jumbo Pack for Rs. 574/- ( including delivery Charges) upon seeing your promotional email. That email had promise an assured Gifts a adidas bag worth Rs 499 and holidays pacakge worth Rs 2990/-. But I was very disapointed to just receive a pack of 3 CD Rom's Only.

The Parcel contained no mention about that promised Gifts.

Honestly Speaking I am very Disappointed and forced to mention that YOU ( INDIA TODAY GROUP )has so far failed to deliver the assured Gifts a adidas bag worth Rs 499 and holidays pacakge worth Rs 2990/.

Its the Responcibility of India Today Group to deliver wat has been promised by them.

Following are the Details of LIVING MEDIA INDIA LIMITED's Invice that I have received.

Invoice No. ORA080029466 DT : 30.05.08
ORDER NO. 0GA080020485

MEMBERSHIP NO. ITBC08476851

I request you to kindly look into the matter and arrange to deliver me the promised Gifts immediatly.

HOPING FOR AN IMMEDIATE ACTION / RESPONSE FROM YOUR SIDE.

THANKING YOU.

MANDEEP SINGH

I am Ashraf Moideen. A month back I had received an email from IRCTC (irctcpromotions@irctc.co.in ) regarding a offer (Claim your FREE adidas bag & 2 FREE bestsellers ) which promised me 2 CDs, 2 Books and an Adidas Bag for Rs. 199. I had made the payment through Credit Card on 12/3/2008 and the amount has been debited from my Credit Card account. The website had promised me a maximum of 2-3 weeks for delivery of the same but I havent received any of those till now. I fear that I am in a trap and the whole offer is bogus. Please please despatch me the books or kindly for God's sake credit me the amount back to mty account.

A packet of C.D's were sent to my address by V.P.P. for Rs.525/ plus VPP chgs were wrongfully sent and accepted .

An intimation of the same was sent from my end and Mr Shubham Jaiswal asked me to return the same E-mail: shubham.jaiswal@indiatodaybookclub.com

The same was sent to Living Media India Ltd by courier vide bill # Z66429995 dt. 8th Jan 08 by DTDC.

It is astonishing that the persons concerned are not able to send a mail for the mails sent from my end for refunding the money.

As I adverted to the IRCTC's promotional add by email, I ordered
for some CDs online, and payment has been made online three
months ago. Till today nothing is delivered to me. Even after sending so many reminders by email to them at order@indiatodaybookclub.com, there is not a single acknowledgement from them.

I strongly agree that this kind on "India Today Book Club" is running a big online fraud in india and they should be severely punished and their physical editions to be banned since these kind of cheaters are not gud for our developing india. Its true that these india today book club people cannot manage there orders neither they have the capacity to run a customer care service... Sick of india today customer care wherein noone bothers of the customers..and this is so called "India Today " group... i never knew such a big brand name will be doing a big online fraud wherein it neither respects the customers neither it is bothering to listen to their problem and inspite of all COLLECTING MONEY ONLINE AND THEN NOT DELIVERING THE ORDER ON TIME... ITS BEEN A MONTHS TIME AND TILL NOW I HAVE NOT RECD THE ORDERS AND CUSTOMER CARE PEOPLE TELL ME SOME OTHER ORDER OF MINE TILL NOW WHICH I HAVE NEVER PLACED... how Rubbish... ITS HIGH TIME THAT STRICT ACTION TO BE TAKEN AND BAN THESE PEOPLE FROM DOING ANY KIND OF BUSINESS

I HAD ALSO CALLED YOUR CUSTOMER CARE IN DELHI ITSELF BUT THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME MY MEMBERSHIP NO. WHICH I MAY REQUIRE IF I WANT TO ORDER MORE BOOKS. I AM ALSO NOT ABLE TO VIEW THE STATUS OF MY ORDER .

I received your consignment of 3 cd pack worth Rs.500.00 yesterday (my membership no is ITBC [protected]) but I am unable to run the concise encyclopedia cd...which is showing user MFC application problem. I have all the configurations installed stated by the user's manual in my desktop & I worked hard to play the same ...abortively...plz...do the needful & spare the harassment to avoid judiciary hassles!

Thanking you,
Sincerely,
Manoj Pani.

My membership no. is ITBC [protected] placed an order for 4 books. I have recieved only one book after 2 months through VPP but i was charged for all 4 books (Rs.775/-). As VPP was sealed I could not verify the contents, after opening the packet 1 found only 1 book and the Invoce for Rs. 200/-. I desire that the ordered book are sent at the earliest or if not the excess amount that I have paid for the same.

Same thing happened to me also. India today book club sent me the books I never ordered and speaking to Neha she asked me to send an email to Parivartan Kookreti, and said I will get my money back. Neither Parivartan replied to my mail nor I got my money back. Now no one answers the phone also. Is there actually an India today Book club or this is some hoax?Earlier I had ordered some books also which was never delivered.Since it came through India Today they should take some responsibility, but they don't even connect us to the Book club.
