   Just thought will let you all know of my experience with Handloom Paradise, Kaggadasapura in furniture purchase. For your own sanity, keep away from them. No customers deserve such treatment. Such businesses do not deserve customers. Detailing my experience here.

   –

   We had ordered a steel almirah before Diwali. He had assured us that the interior design will be modified according to our wishes and he will need more time for it – two weeks we were promised. So, we gave him a design according out our needs. The almirah was also supposed to have a mirror.

   And then started the nightmare.

   The almirah took 6+ weeks to be delivered instead of two. Unfortunately at the time it was delivered, I was a bit busy and did not notice some of the things, particularly

   The design was nowhere close to what we wanted.
   The mirror was missing.
   And I made the biggest mistake of paying them. Beat me up for that if you will, but it does not justify their behaviour that followed. I would expect neighbourhood shop to be more considerate towards their customers as they would get their customers from the same pool and would expect repeat customers. But nope! This guy is too full of himself.

   When we complained, he behaved as if nothing was the matter. He would get it replaced, get the mirror fixed or whatever we wanted. He said that other almirahs are lying in his godown and ours must have been exchanged with one of them. So, our design should be available. Fair enough. We asked to see those. Not today! The godown was too full. In a day or two, he would have it cleaned up and then we can see.

   For next couple of visits, his godown was still not cleaned up. Finally we gave up and just asked him to install the mirror. Of course, that could be done anytime. We just had to call up. We were not available for couple of weeks. No problems. We just had to call up.
   And the final stage of nightmare started after we tried to get them to install the mirror. Whenever we call up, he is either sending the person by evening or the next day. We called and called. Everytime a new person will pick up the phone and get us confused with several other cases (which tells me that ours was not a one off case – they always try to get away with not providing the mirror or delivering the wrong product!). Finally we got the owners number. Similar assurances one after the other. By 12 ‘o clock, by 6 ‘o clock. By tomorrow and even “just in a while”.
   Today afternoon, I was fed up with this “just in a while” talk. So, we went to his shop. Babuji khana khane gaye hain. We insisted on talking to him. First time the assistant called him up, he did not even bother talking to us. “Bas aaj ho jayega”. We insisted and then he called up again and he promised by 3.30. Of course, nothing happened by 3.30. So, I called him up. And instead of being sorry, he started abusing me. I was being unreasonable – hello – after weeks of running around! Even government offices are better. I told him that the almirah is unused and he can take it back. But no – “hum ye kaam nahin karte hain.” Right! Rectifying a mistake hurts his self-respect, but making a mistake and cheating the customer makes him proud. Now his problem is that the light is not there, so he can not get the mirror polished. Wonderful. How was he promising us to deliver the mirror all this while, if it was not even polished.

   Purely from business point of view, if he returned my money today, I might have considered buying from him again. Now of course, I am a customer lost forever with bad word of mouth. This wasn’t the first purchase we had made there. It is convenient shop for us and we often buy stuff from there. After the almirah, of course, I did not buy either my sofa or new mattress from them. Nor will I ever go to him again.

   But I am feeling so let down today. These guys can get away with all this and even abusing their customers. Today I really want to do something that forces him to close down. But sigh! Do I have time for all this? At least I am going to send this to everyone who I know stays in this area.

   Please do the same. At least some people will be spared the torture.

   Big Bazaar is only a few kilometers away from here. Buy stuff from there and get a pain-free delivery. If you are not the Big-Bazaar kind of buyer, go to Shivajinagar or other such established old-world market and buy things from there. But not this store. Please!

   Handloom Paradise in Kaggadasapura is run by a cheater!

   This is regarding the furnitur shop “Venkateshwara home decor” which is opposite to Lakshmi Hospital.

   Pls do not buy any items from this shop. This is not at all professional furniture shop. They do not have proper knowledge on furniture items. They do not apply their common sense when making the customised order. We had ordered customised bed and diwan, which they did not make as per specifications. Nor they were ready to make the changes.

   Its better to buy from Shivajinagar shops. At least you will have peace of mind and value for your money.
