DO NOT FALL FOR THIS WEBSITE PLEEEEAAAASEEEE!
Unless you are an avid book lover, who consumes wotever trash comes your way. Their monthly mags are BORRRIIIIINGGG, and the hello-i-never-called-for-any
packages that come to your doorstep have zero content.
I subscribed to a 1-yr membership to their service Booksbuddy, and receive regular offers via email, some interesting, some not. What happens is when you actually ASK them to send you their books. The following things happen in swift succession :
1. No response.
2. No response.
3. No response with further delay.
4. Reach for the phone to call their helpline.

Their helpline is answered by really dumb ’executives’(this term is grossly misused in todays world), who claim that your membership no. is not activated! (this evokes a laugh unfailingly everytime).

Recently, I got an email saying that they are sending a 2500 Rs.Holiday voucher with the next set of books coming my way, for which I had to shell out Rs.500(for 3 books : 1 good, 2 bad). Surprise of all, there WAS a voucher thingy inside, with invalid details. Invalid because everytime I try to claim the voucher online, the details are said to be wrong!

Point no. 4 happens again, and again and then again, and Im still speaking to them, AND emailing them....and India Today lives happily ever after.....just waiting for me to turn into the evil witch!
