Yesterday went to Panny showrrom @ Ambattur & Phone enquired with Anna Salai showroom, Not only ST/GT, even X or XT series is not available anywhere in Tamilnadu.. Even i hv Phone enquired with Pondicherry Panny SR. The same situation prevails over there. One of Panny SR sales person informed me that there is some Shipping problem to Chennai which affected the both TN & Pondy. :eek::eek:

By getting irritated by Panasonic's unending Long Delays, i decided to buy from online retailers. But shocked by the below incident reported in Consumercourt.in. Particularly the incident is related to the same TV which i have intended to buy. :sad::sad::sad:

Plasma screen orderd through Indiatimes is delivered with the cracked panel.
Subject: Panasonic Plasma HD Television - TH-P42X50D (3001363317 - for Rs 41990)

Dear Sir,

I Had ordered a panasonic Plasma 42" television through Indiatimes website on 12th Aug 2012 and was delivered on 21st Aug through DELHIVERY Courier service with the AWB # 10111143531.

The TV inside the package had a cracked screen. I Immediately called up indiatimes customer care and registered a complain 373335 and also a mail was sent "[email protected]" and "[email protected]" ID as mentioned in the support website.

Post which i received a call from Indiatimes requesting for the defective product screenshot to be forwarded to the mailbox, I immediately sent the screenshots to all the receipients including "[email protected]" , "[email protected]". After calling up the customercare for another couple of times, i was informed that my case was being worked up by a case manager named Mukesh Kumar, who requested me to forward the chain mail to another ID "[email protected]", which i also did.

I really dont see any progress or actions being taken by the team to get my TV replaced or keeping me updated on the progress. Whenever i callup the customercare to know the progress, i just get a reply that my case has been escalated to a different team who is investigating on the same.

Request this forum to kindly take up with Indiatimes team and get the defective product replaced at the earliest or initiate a refund process if replacement is not possible.Details of the complain are given below.

Order ID : 3001363317
Complain # : 373335
Product Name : Panasonic Plasma HD Television - TH-P42X50D
Tracking No / AWB No : 10111143531

Have attached the defective products screen shot for reference.

Thanks & Regards

So Finally decided to buy from Panny SRs.

Guys,

Please be patient, don't go for online retailers as Its very difficult to catch them in case of any such instances. This will lead to unnecessary mental stress.
Lets wait till Sept. hope the shipment starts by then...
Meanwhile try negotiating the prices with the showroom guys.. see whats the best price that you get for the group...

Hi,
I am in the hunt for a TV, was planning to get one by this weekend.
Sounds like a group buy might yield better prices.

I am new here.

Thanks,
Sathish

Definitely. No harm in asking. At most the dealer may say no but agree to a price that is less than what you were prepared to pay.

I have already requested Lakshminarasimhan to check possibility of getting it in Bangalore.. I am also interested..

If it cannot be done, we can try out in bangalore.. I spoke to couple of dealers and its not available at present. They expect it to be available by mid sept.

But with such demand, i doubt whether we could do much bargaining. Last time I made it till 97k, but then realized stokc is not available.. :D
