THIS COMPANY CLAIMS ON THERE WEBSITE THAT "timtara.com is Rated No. 1 for “User Experience” by Dataquest Magazine + Sapient-Nitro Research in Jan'11 within 7 months of launch."
DELIGHT MORE SOUNDS LIKE CUSTOMER PLIGHT. What do you think?

Alok / Deepak :
Yes I agree its bad.
No excuse - but we are doubling our turnover for the last 3 months. And we are a little over a
year in biz. The organization and the fulfillment (team, sourcing etc) could not keep up with
the speed for Dec and Jan. Because we are new some customers panicked and others who
got on time were delighted.
We reached out to the affected customers, toned down our marketing, strengthened supplier
relationship and just about come out of the "delay" phase.
Try us out sometime.
Cheers.

I think if you can not honor the value of promise made to your customers you need to close shop & get out of business.

I am also caught by Timtara fraud unknowinlgy, I have ordered on 07-May and order number is 10251642 at that time I got confirmation that I will get my product 8-10 working days. after 8-10 customer care says that my delivery time is 10-15 days and now after 10-15 days they say it is 15-20 days and I am damm sure after that also they will keep on increasing it. I am really fed up with this all and wanted to cancel my order and get refund but that also they are not doing, I have forwarded lot of emails to cancel my order but it has not cancelled yet. Timtara.com is real cheater web site.

Yes, they are cheating customer left right & center. but really what are we doing about this. even customers are falling prey to this kind of fraudulent company. is it too hard to Google the reputation of this company. Please don't be disheartened there are plenty of good & honest companies out their as for your money ask for a refund & inconvenience fee from the company & then go ahead and file a consumer complaint to ensure they go out of business.

Hello Deepak.
I ordered two HTC mobile phones from timtara on 03rd May Order No: 10249734 (Rs 15,050)
I did not get any reply for over a month then last week after several complaints I got an email saying the products will be delivered by 01st June but there is still no sign of the products.
Can you please advice me what should I do. Whether I should just cancel the order and wait for the refund or wait for the products for a few more days.
Thanks,
Rohit

Please do not expect any reply from this company its been a standard practice & modus operandi from them, they take order, do not fulfill it & give no refunds but if you press hard they will try to lure you to get replacement substandard product with zero durability. Do not cancel the order, just ask them to deliver or refund the money with a inconvieneience fee. Please let me know how it goes for you. in case you need any legal assistance let me know.

File a consumer complaint which BTW can be easily done without any help from a lawyer. Local consumer courts are fast track courts. This is only way these thugs will be off the street.

Thanks for the reply Deepak.
I had mailed them yesterday and I got a reply today saying give us 4-5 days more to resolve the issue.
I will wait for 5 days more or take the necessary action.
