Pathetic after sales service

I had purchased an LG microwave oven in the last quarter of 2010, and it was pretty good and worked well for nearly 18 months, when it suddenly conked out on the 25th of August. We contacted the LG customer care at Kozhikode, Kerala on 27th August, and after multiple calls, a technician came ove...Read more

An expensive mistake
Puma Bags

Does it look like an abused shoe in the photos? Like I said, I have used it for a total of less than 5 days of continuous wear. And there were another 9 people in my party to Malaysia, all of whom walked through the same terrain, and none of whom had any problems with their shoes! I would also like ...to point out that I have been using shoes for the last thirty years, without much problems till I came across this one from PumaRead More

An expensive mistake

I had just had a pair of Reebok sneakers stolen in April 2010, and was looking for a suitable replacement, when I came across a "Shoe of the Day" offer from www.bigshoebazaar.com for a nice looking pair of casual shoes from Puma. I had owned a pair of Puma shoes while in school, nearly 20 years ...Read more

Want to buy a car

Options aplenty Have you tried the new Ford Figo, Suzuki Ritz, Nissan Micra or the Volkswagon Polo? All are excellent cars, but may have a waiting period. The Figo Diesel may be a great option if your daily mileage is high.

The King is Back (Corolla Altis)
Toyota Corolla

Dear Vishpan, Then how can you review a book, movie or service? You don't own any of those things. And I don't recall reading anywhere in Mouthshut that you have to own an item to review it! Do you think all reviews that appear in magazines are by owners?

What on earth is Customer Support?
Ebay

Hi Digital Devil, It is unfortunate that Ebay treats its customers so badly, and still no one gets to hear about it. I wish more people would come forward and comment about their experiences! Ebay is an anachronism of an internet company, that does not allow you to send scanned documents by email ...(for security reasons - apparently they never heard of antivirus software). You have to either fax documents (and they never receive them) or send them to a Post Box number (so courier, registered post or Speed post, where you can get their signature confirming receipt of the mail) are out of the question! Additionally, when you are really frustrated, you have no recourse to escalate your complaint beyond the ubiquitous Kaelyn or Ferdinand!! Read More

Hi, Nice review, but you could have added more details regarding the place and the things you can do there. Think of what a person who has never heard of would want to know before deciding to come for a visit! Keep up the good work. Shankar A

In 2004, I also had a very good experience with their customer support, when someone hac...Read more

How well is your computer protected against "terror attacks"? "Very well", you say.

Toyota Altis (Corolla 2008)
Toyota Corolla

I fail to understand why an electric power steering will not 'go well with the consumer' because it is more frugal on the fuel compared to a hydraulic power steering, as well as cheaper to maintain over the long run. I personally felt that the interiors were quite rich, with leather upholstery in ...the higher versions. The only point was that Toyota was not offering beige upholstery, but that is purely a matter of personal like/dislike. The wood finish really looks snazzy.Read More

Tough luck Did you try the trick that tyre repairers use-immersing it part by part in water, to figure out where the puncture is? Considering the size of the thing though, you may need to throw it into a swimming pool! Also, try using the Fevibond that is specifically made to stick rubber/plastic (i...t comes in a tube, like an ointment). I have found that you can stick even slippers with it.Read More

India's Finest Virtual Supermarket..? Thugs!!!

If you paid by credit card, the card companies might have insurance cover for online purchases, and if you conctact them, you might at least get your money back. Why don't you go to the consumer court for redressal?

Indiaplaza

I have used the site extensively, and never had any great problems. As for items being costlier or cheaper than you anticipated, it shows poor market-searching on your part.

If possible, I also go out and see whether the item is available for a lower price in the local gray market Read More
