For the past 3 years, I've been shopping there.. Most recent purchase was a Imate SP5M for a friend for 10.5K... No glitches whatsoever.. Only once my order was unexpectedly cancelled due to limited stock, but that won't be an issue with HP 7..!

u obviously aren't a harry potter fan if u find 500 pages too much. a true harry potter fan like me wishes the book would be 3000 pages and if it were, i'd still be unsatisfied

Sneak peak at first chapter of HP7
Chapter One.The Dark Lord
Ascending.The two men
appeared out of nowhere,a few yards apart in the narrow,moonlit lane.For a second they stood quite still,wands pointing
at each other's chests:then,recognising each other,they
stowed their wands beneath their cloaks and set off,side by
side,in the same direction.
"News?",asked the taller of the
two.
"The best," replied Snape.

Is it just me, or are other's also slightly disappointed from the OOTP movie. First of all, I HATE this Dumbledore. Dumbledore is supposed to be calm and cool, and he is supposed to kick Voldy's ass. But in the movie, Dumbledore was actually struggling against him! Also, they left out the whole prophecy scene. That was the MAIN scene in the book. Otherwise, it was pretty good.

Even I haven't got the book. The wait is getting really frustrating now. On hindsight, I felt I should have ordered the book offline rather than go the online way!

If they don't deliver it today, that is, the D Day, I am never going to shop online again!

P.S. Someone in Chennai has got it http://blog.sapauljoseph.info/2007-06-25/book-7-harry-potter-and-the-deathly-hallows/#comment-81

But what about Delhites? Any clue?

I am wondering, if we don't get the book today, aren't they violating something??? Coz they 'assured delivery on 21st July' for major cities and payment before 20th July... And if they don't deliver it, can we do anything to kick their.... for the frustration they have caused us today?

Damn it ! In my enthusiasm i paid 980/-Rs and bought the book from some stupid book store only to realize that other Store were giving discounts.
Though i had downloaded the book from internet ( Real Leaked ) and was about to read it on my pocket PC ( I have read a lot earlier versions and its more comfortable to me) somewhere i felt it wrong.
That was the last book and i had to pay for it ,just as my sincere thank you from the heart for such a lovely experience.

tremendous, awesome , just how i liked...:), superb.

it just made up for book 6 toooo, after such sloppy story , no no i was not talking about book 6 ending , but the story in general, but any ways i am really happy for the money spend on the book...:) and ofcourse the whole series.

by the way , i got it on 21st itself...:)

Finally got the book from Indiaplaza! But no CD/DVD??? Did anyone get it? I am in Delhi.

P.S. I already read the book. So I am contemplating keeping it as a momentum/selling it? What say?

I tracked my book delivery on the DTDC site!!! The book was shipped on Monday, 23rd July and I got it today. So much for 'assured release day delivery' in metros!!!

Culprit : Indiaplaza
Crime : False hopes, lies!
Punishment : Won't buy again!!!

"Booked by: PRAKASH BOOK DEPOT, DELHI On: Monday, July 23, 2007
No of Pieces: 1 "

P.S. DTDC is blaming the delay due to the worldwide release time???? Didn't they take that into account before promising people???

Indiaplaza/ DTDC - bunch of liars!

i have a doubt plz clear it
when i ordered the book usin my dad's sbi visa card..i went to the citibank portal
chose other cards...confirmed my order..
then the page redirected me to indiaplaza.in
their they asked my username & password for logging in.i put it but then it showed some internal server error..
is this a problem..as i couldnt login for some time..
i logged in later & checked my pending orders..& their it was saying pending authorisation
after some days it changed to ready to ship
but it is the 25th now & it still says ready to ship instead of shipped :(

what to do?

Well.. Having been an indiaplaza customer for the past 3 yrs, I haven't seen the Shipped enry against my orders even once.. :D \As for the internal error, I don't think it matters.. Check your SBI account status online, and see if the payment has actually occurred.. If it has, then there is nothing to worry about.

^^that is again a personal choice....:)

@ssk_the_gr8.....hey dude, called up customer care? or mailed them yet? if u can call them up....blast them to smithereens :D, they had said that max its gonna take upto monday/tuesday for the books to be delivered. also, it matters if u have placed your order at the last moment or maybe about a week back. they are obviously gonna fill orders placed earlier first.

its no personal choice...its a downright insult to JK Rowlings hard work:mad:

i know i ordered a week ago..but come on yaar 1 hafta late nahi kar saktey hai..1-2 din chalega

i couldnt get through on the phone.. so i mailed them & blasted them to smithereens...:D

i said...that if they cant deliver in a day or so then it would be better if i canceled my order(i wud never do that though :D)
i said that i would make sure none of my friends ever buy any thin from indiaplaza:D....& if they delay any more i would sue them in consumer court:D

seems like it worked -his reply-

we would like to inform you that the ordered title " Harry Potter and the
Deathly Hallows " has been shipped out. The courier details and
consignment number will be updated shortly.

Our sincere apologies for the delay and inconvenience caused.

Please feel free to revert for further clarifications.

but if the book didn't get released on the day of release itself, it defeats the entire purpose of pre-ordering it.

I also ordered from Indiaplaza and got it on 23rd monday at 3:00 p.m. infact i got it early as i live in patna(father got transferred from delhi, this city su*** man) and wasn't expecting it before 30th.

btw i didn't get the game dvd with the book. i emailed indiaplaza and they said they would ship it and i will get it after 2 days. but i haven't got the game till today and am getting frustated.:mad:

Which game is it?

well guys this is what i found out....this guy who got in 2 days....has been a regular customer of indiaplaza...since the last 6 months and has made purchases of about 50k......and had recently also orderred a k750i cell phone....so heres my point they are looking for prospective buyer....xbonez do tell if ur a regular customer??.......to confirm it i checked with some of my college friends...and again the same regular customer crap....regular ones got it earlier than the buy and leave ones....i dont think they believe in serving cstomers...they just believe in minting money out of them...now the time has come tht u have to buy more to be serviced well:mad::mad::mad:........thts what i like about ebay..as soon as u purchase a good..the seller calls u or mails u....no big company big buyers S***......i think u guys are getting what i mean??

and ya i forgot to tell...tht friend of mine also got a gift coupon of Rs.633.75!!!!!! talk about luck!

i live in patna and i got the book on 23rd july at around 3 p.m. i am not even a regular customer, it was the first time i bought from indiaplaza. i hadn't received the dvd and then i complained to them and got it today.

i even got a 634 rupees gift certificate but i can only renew it on purchases made above 2500 rs. also got 6 month book club membership.

overall, i think the guys at indiaplaza are excellent and their customer service is one of the best (if u compare it to rediff shopping, sify or indiatimes). i don't know how u all are facing so much problems.

as for the bookclub membership, i don't have any time for it.
