Alright, this has been a harrowing experience for me, to say the least. Around a couple of months back, after asking whether they had the items in stock, I placed an order for a Steelpad QcK Heavy and 2 Intellimice 1.1. I was told that i should get them in 5-7 days.

Since there was a delay on part of the courier company through whom I'd sent the cheque, it reached Abhi only after 5 days or so. So he promised me the stuff would arrive next week.

But next week also there was nothing. All i kept getting were lame excuses, like yes we are shipping it etc etc..

I finally received my QcK heavy in Feb end, and I was told that the Intellimouse was out of stock and I should get it the coming week.

After that, it has been only excuses and more excuses on their behalf. I call up Abhi, and I am told to find out the status from Saurabh (another V-S rep) and so on and so forth. Then one fine day Saurabh tells me that they are unable to get the mice and he will order it from TATA Chroma in Mumbai and gives me a date on which I can expect it to arrive. That date comes and still nothing.

I have to call him up to find out whats happening and he tells me that it is out of stock there as well.

So i tell him to offer me a refund nearly 2 weeks ago now, and he says I would get it after 3-4 days. After 3-4 days I still get nothing, and on calling him up I find out that there was some problem in my account and cash can not be deposited, so he tells me a cheque will be deposited.

On Saturday i got an SMS from him saying that the cheque has been deposited, but when I checked my account I had nothing. On calling him up he said he would clarify. Even today morning there is nothing in my account yet and I am still waiting for his clarification.

I didnt want to bring this out in the public, but enough is enough and I really want compensation for all this that I have gone through.

At the least, after reading this hopefully I will get my refund soon.

Sorry for the rant.
 
Damn, that's bad. The result of Indian online shopping :/

Dude, I'd suggest to buy only directly from stores in India, if you still wanna buy online then stick to reputed online sites like naya anda [newegg] :P

About your current situation if worse comes to worst, threaten them with a police complaint or something, do anything you have to, just work on getting your money back, if they give you the mouse it'll probably be 2nd hand, work on getting your money back.
 
I am sorry about your experience....but it is the same story in online indian sites everywhere...Hope you get your money refunded
 
Update : I got a call from them. Told me that a guy has gone to deposit the cheque in my account. And they said they would like to offer me a complimentary gift such as a mousepad.

I'll post an update when I get the refund.

Yeah, i've made numerous purchases from Ebay.com and the items have reached me in great condition and on time on every instance. I guess this is the first and the last time I will purchase anything online here.

And too bad NewEgg doesnt ship to India.
 
indian online aint that bad. its people like abhi. he is the most unreliable person i have met. really good in lying, has lost all respect.

^^ Exactly. I called him up one day, and he said that he had received a shipment of mice, and will be sending them the next day.

3 Days later I call up Saurabh only to find out that they still don't have the mice.
 
Stormy is right, it's really not all Indian retailers.... it is individuals who are new to this business (or any business) that will play around like this.
 
there must have been some goof up. v-street guys are very good. even some of my stuff didnt reach me as their partners will say that they shipped it and they didnt actually. however i got my razer db in 1 day.

I'm sure it will be fixed very soon.
 
Some goof-up? I'm sorry I just can not dismiss the above incidents as only a goof up. It has been two months of lies, and damned lies.
 
abhi has been busy for some time with setting up new office and stuff. it might have been missed but they are not kinda ppl who'll cheat or lie for few hundred bucks

so abhi is busy & his staff ppl are not trustworthy. how is that amaresh's fault. and abhi sure lies a lot himself so its nothing new if his staff also lies to their customers. abhi busy or not busy he is the most unreliable person.

i hope u get ur stuff soon amaresh.
 
i hope u get ur stuff soon amaresh.

IMHO at this point their stuff can't be trusted, it'll be 80% 2nd hand stuff, he should just work on getting his money back and take his stuff from stores :/

I am not getting my stuff anytime soon, all I want is my money back and hopefully i will get that soon.

Send this thread link to Abhi, you'll get your money back fast... noone wants negative publicity like this, and a ton of people visit TE. You waited 2 months, I have no idea how you'd been so patient... 1 week and I'd give up with any site.
 
^^Thats the easiest and most sensible thing to do... Gah I hate unscrupulous indian hardware dealers :@. I don't get it why they need 1 week to deliver either :|.

Too bad because of you I had to snub off Vivek who was gonna give me his piece, and I can't even give you a big fat negative in itrader. :@

I would but Abhi has blocked me from MSN most probably, he used to be online daily and I havent seen him from the last few days. And I doubt he would read any email that I send him.
 
Try sending an email anyways Amaresh, it's worth a shot... could help you get your money back fast. I haven't seen Abhi online as well, if I do I'll point him here so he can resolve this quickly - this can't be good for business.
