India Today Book Club Reviews

durgesh.bhawan March 17, 2010
Refund not given (following up ITBC for 12+months)
My membership ID with India Today Book Club is ITBC08774081. I had placed an order (TELESALES/0GA090014244) worth Rs.1897/- for Reebok kit (shirt, watch, belts etc.) on 06-March-09. When the ordered items were not delivered after more than 4 months of order, I requested to cancel my order and refund the payment. I have been following up over phone and emails for more than 12 months, but ITBC team is unable to process my refund till today. What should it be called “fraud”, “failure of a REPUTED company in online business”, ’’shame’’, or what? Is there any chance to get my hard-earned money back?

I have provided them all the proofs (CC statements, Order confirmation emails etc) many times and also send letters in writing to their Noida and Delhi offices by Speed Post, but no replies. They do not care for the customers once they got the payment.

They have started a new company BagItToday to make more money by cheating people.

Thanks for reading!

SUB: Non receipt of consignment no TELESALES/880024141

After reading in Rajasthan Patrika News Paper,
I had ordered for a Rebok fitness kit from India Today Book Club and the
order no. is TELESALES/880024141.It coasted me Rs.3199/- and I had paid
this amount on 2nd Dec, 2009 using my Credit Card. Though they have
received this amount, they are still to deliver me this consignment.
My below attempts have not yielded any results as yet:
1. Telephonic conversation with Mr. Ashutosh Kumar on 15nd Dec 2009, But
there is no record of that it is delivered to the customer nor it was sent
back to India Today Book club. It was confirmed that they are arranging to
send again and the consignment which would reach us in 5 days. However,
till date we have not received the consignment.
2. On dated (22 Dec '09) again we talked over phone to Mr. Kapil. He
confirmed that delivery record is showing that consignment has not reached
us and assured yet again said that in 24 hours they will reply on this
issue after consulting higher officer.
3. Again on dated (23 Dec 2009) we have not received any reply, hence
again we talked over phone to Mr. Mukul (complaint No275585).Inform all
above story to him, Mr Mukul told me to send credit card statement. Hence
its scan copy also enclosed for further action.
4. On dated 24th Dec2009, we have received email, that your order has been
fully processed from our end and has been dispatched on 43588591900 through
the BLUEDART under the 43588591900 consignment details. After going in
detail through BLUEDARART website this parcel belong to Mr OP SHARMA,
Jaipur not to me. To misguide in place of date dispatch no was mention. We
don’t know out why they had given wrong information to us. Moreover we
have paid though my credit card and its details are enclosed to them. It
seems they are not serious to attend our problem tell us correctly. But I
strongly feel they are doing such mistakes regularly and misguiding their
consumers and making profit by wrong practices in the market. India today
is one of the renowned channels and Mr Prabhu Chawala speaks very high. But
reality is totally different they are advertising their product in news
papers. Normal people like us getting trapped and lose their hard earned
money. Government is also keeping silence on this and giving full support
and allowing cheating the common Indian people. They should not allow any
online shopping until unless these agencies are not fully equipped with
backup system with them. They should banned if any complaint is registered
against them. Otherwise normal public will be losing and these agencies
will grow further to play such gambling in the Indian market. My one again
humble request is to look with an open mind and stop such open authorised
gambling.

Kindly let me know every day why one or other story is being
repeated if you want any information tell me at one time and solved my
problem to avoid any legal action on this issue. Till now we had spent more
than Rs 100/ on telephone but none of the officer the India today talked
from their side. Quick reply is awaited.
Thanks

Editor Rajasthan Patrika (Rajasthan)
This order was booked as per RAJASTHAN PATRIKA NEWS paper dated
02-12-2009.Continuosly we are doing correspondence with India today club.
But we are not getting any authentic reply from them. Every time they are
repeating same thing. To me they are advertising their product in news
papers. Normal people like us getting trapped and lose their hard earned
money. Government is also keeping silence on this and giving full support
and allowing cheating the common Indian people. They should not allow any
online shopping until unless these agencies are not fully equipped with
backup system with them. They should banned if any complaint is registered
against them. Otherwise normal public will be losing and these agencies
will grow further to play such gambling in the Indian market. My one again
humble request is to look with an open mind and stop such open authorised
gambling. Please do not entertain such advertisements in your NEWS PAPER.
Please write to them on your behalf, as indirectly RAJATHAN
PATRIKA is also one party because this advertisement was published in that.
By doing so next time they will also not play with any common public.

Editor : News papers
With a humble request to publish in your News Paper.
Thanks

Cheating
After procuremnt of one item the Tele person called me up over telephone and intimated that you are shortfall of some points to be ranked in top ten and to be eligible for the surprised gift and lucky draw to be held today you can procure any one item out of the three described by him. Accordingly i procured one more item. Soon after that another call came and responded similarly and to be among top 5 I procured the third item. This is the story behind the procurement of three items.


Now I have the last word to say please arrange to pick up all the two delivered items from my residense and arrange to refund my money immediately.


I do not want any relation with India Today Book Club being the cheater company and it will be conveyed to all my dear ones not to procure any item from India Today Book Club online.


This is what i feel about the India Today Book Club.


Can u please forward the number of your managing Director or the Chairman of your company.

Free Holiday package not being given
I had purchased 16 CDs of music from India today Book Club alongwith which I was offerred a free gift of 3D/2N stay at good hotel at selected destinations.

To avail my gift I was asked to send a draft of Rs 800/- to indianhotelreview.com in Noida. This was not mentioned in the original terms and conditions but even them I submitted it.

But in their reply email the Co. infromed that the destinations that I had chosen were not available on the said dates or even after those dates upto Jan 2010.

Now I am running from pillar to post to get my free stay offer. Their customer service people are horrible.
My ITBC membership no. is ITBC 09825660
and invoice no. is ORAO 90003717

Now I have offerred them that I am available on all dates in January but they have not bothered to look into my complaint.

Cheating
I am a member of India Today Book Club and admit that I had received one or two good deals from them.This in turn made me believe them when I got an offer for an HTC Touch2 phone over my mobile.I asked the rep whether it was a 3G enabled phone.After confirming with his senior he replied in the affirmative.

Still, I sent a mail to HTC for confirmation and they sent me a reply in negative. I informed the tele caller about the same when he called on the next occasion. I also sent a mail to India Today Book Club affirming my request not to execute the order if it was not 3G enabled.

I received the phone last week. To my horror, it did not have a Touch2 set and was instead having an HTC P3470 inside the box! Phones do not get past the IVRS of India Today Book Club. Fax is either busy or no reply and mails are not answered at all!

I really wonder what has gone wrong with such a reputed organisation like the Living Media Group.It is very frustrating and depressing when such reputed names too act in such strange manner.

Cancellation of order and refund of money
Sir,
My complaint against India Today Book Club
My name :V.PANDU RANGANATH
MEMBER ID: ITBC08379816
BOOKING ORDER ID : 440011985 booked on 27/10/2009 for a package for Rs. 5298/- where in the package was for one 10.0 megapixel camera, One DVD player, one Raybun sunglasses, a three nights and two days stay for five adults in a star hotel. after 15 days of my booking I called upon the customer care of India Today Book Club and on having conversation with india today book club executive @13.30 hrs. on 07/11/2009 I was estonished to hear that the offer which was stated to me over telephone is being differed.

I was told by their executive on the date of booking (27/10/2009) that a 10 megapixel camera + raybun sunglasses + DVD player(PHILIPS) and a 3 night and two days stay in star hotel for five adults, but on 07/11/2009 when I talked to their executive I came to know that the earlier stated offer is being differed, and Iam not being given the DVD player and only two adults with five year old child is being extended the offer to stay in star hotel.

As such I gave several e-mails to the india today book club repeatedly to inform that I do not need the offer and requested them to cancel my order and arrange to refund me the full amount which their executive promised me today.
But till date I did not receive any communication till now. So I request you to help me to get back my money from India Today Book Club please.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
