A candid memoir of a satisfied customer!

The lines which you will be reading are a perfect example of how a customer-friendly website can win the laurels of a customer with some really appreciable services.

I am an avid traveller and used to book my journey tickets either through the counter itself or through the brokers. This obviously means wastage of time and postponement of other activities. However, one day while searching through the Internet for a service provider to take care of my travel needs, I found www.retailsdirect.com.

I was simply amazed to see almost 110 destinations covering all parts within India at this website. In addition to that, it also looked after my hotel bookings and other travel needs. I am quite sure that people like me with a flair for travelling will really like the concept of a one-stop service provider like this.

Let me tell you the complete online travel packages offered by the portal. The holiday packages at the site allow you to visit any place in India at an unbelievably low price. The cheap holiday vacation packages are suitable for even the middle and low income class. You can even specify a particular airline carrier such as Air Deccan and Air India to name a few while making an advanced search. These all benefits surely mean that the journey of a traveller is made complete and hassle free at affordable prices.

As soon as I placed a request for a travel package after selecting one from a comprehensive list of tour packages, I got a confirmation number and a pleasant call from a customer care executive to validate my booking. The hotel booking done at my behest allowed me to enjoy my brief holidays even at the peak holiday time of the year. All these benefits and that too at such an unbelievable price made me a true patron of Retails Direct for the years to come. I really wish that there must be many more portals on the Internet just like this one so that the lives of those portal owners who do not care about their esteemed customers get worse, so that they can learn the important lesson of surviving in the present day market.

Going against the wind!

Every year at the time of Valentine Day, I get confused as to what to buy and gift my beloved ones. Same was the case this Valentine also. Clad in a blue dress I was all geared up to celebrate my first valentine with my Husband only to find that I still haven’t bought any gift for him. Well I always believed that gifts are the replica of your love for “that” someone special in your life.

It’s been almost four years that we know each other but every time I leave him, I again want to come back. The feeling is something beyond words, beyond imagination; it’s like the first dew in a rose petal. Well, I don’t want you to go deep inside my story. Let’s come back to the D day when I was waiting for him at my place. Every minute seemed like an hour and every hour a day. Guess I was too petrified with my own feelings that I didn’t remember to buy him a gift. Suddenly I was stuck with an idea. I immediately switched on my laptop and started browsing online shopping stores.

To my delight, these shopping portals have the widest range I have ever imagined. There are numerous gift items for you to choose from. My husband is very particular about gifts and his personal favorite ranges from ties to consumer electronics to that of perfumes. To my dismay I initially couldn’t locate any website for consumer electronics. But then with little browsing I was able to trace hundreds of websites in no time. These online shopping portals have a magnificent range of Valentine gifts. So, this time I planned to buy him a gift through one of these shopping portals. After reading different shopping reviews in the websites, I finally managed to catch hold of one website that can deliver the gift within 24 hours. I was simply blessed and that too with all my husband's favourite consumer electronics.

While surfing the net I also came across different institutes offering gifts online. By buying gift items from these special websites you can also contribute into charity. This Valentine I bought some gifts for my husband and in turn at least contributed a little towards the development of the unprivileged children.

I did what I thought was right but what about you?

Holi Gifts: I got lucky this time what about you?

Holi, the very name enlightens my heart and soul, every time I think of it. It is celebrated in almost every part of India with fun and frolic. It sees no boundaries and is celebrated with full enthusiasm. Personally, I believe that Holi originated from the English word “Holy”, which associates itself with life and saintly feeling.


This colourful day is celebrated by throwing coloured power and water at each other. The emphasis is laid on the burning of Holika or lighting of Holi. In many places it is attributed by some to the burning of Holika, Holaka and Putana.


Times are changing and so are we. We have grown naïve enough to acknowledge even our own happiness. People have forgotten the meaning and values associated with this festival. They are stuck off in their own rock-pool life. I wonder why people don’t concede the child within. Let your spirit free this Holi and feel the difference it would bring in your life.


Well, for me this is the best time when I play with colours as it helps to bring out the child within me, which I have kept hidden for so long. Holi actually contravenes the line that exists between Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Christian. I could see the Indian civilisation changing in front of my eyes. Good or Bad I can’t say but the fact that many unsocial elements have started playing this game in hideous manner creates problems in the society. Guess, this is the sole reason that backs me from celebrating my favourite festival.


And I tell you, to buy a gift for your younger sister is the toughest job in this entire world. Guess, not any more! With online shopping portals we have numerous options and products to choose from. Just to allure more and more customers, these websites are also offering free gifts and hampers. I bought a Laptop for my sister from a well known site called retailsdirect and got a Xerox printer half its price. Guess am lucky but what about you?

Shopping Review: A happy and satisfied customer!

Some members of the reading community are of the view that they do not have access to purchase world renowned books, and if they do get the access, the price is quite a restricting factor. This belief was shared by me too until the last week. Do you know why? Let me tell you. One of my best friends, Rahul, who is also an avid book reader told me about this website www.retailsdirect.com and asked me to have a brief look.


The first two days were quite busy for me, so I just could not take the time out. However on the third day, I decided to pay a visit to the website. I was amazed to see such a vast collection of books from some of the biggest names in the world of literature and writing. This website has special sections for law, history, fiction, non-fiction, poetry and what not. I was searching for this book called "Ignited Minds: Unleashing the Power within India" which is written by A P J Abdul Kalam, the ex-President of India. My search ended and not only that, the price which I had to pay was unbelievably low, thanks to the heavy discounts offered at the website.




After I ordered the book, I proceeded to the consumer electronics section and had a look at the Philips DVP3146 DVD player. Within no time, I ordered that stunning masetrpiece. Lucky me on two occasions. One of my aunts paid a much higher price when she made an online purchase from another online shopping portal, a few days ago. She even got the delivery after 15 days and that too, after reminding the customer care agents some 2-3 times. I was given a delivery time of 10 days and within 2 days. Both my products were delivered to me in a safe and undamaged condition with manufacturer warranty and original bill. After I told my aunt about all this, she was quite amazed and is a regular customer of the website these days, thanks to my perfect shopping review
