“Lovely Skirt”

The skirts and the skirts Sets that Indianroots are providing are beautiful, classic, eye catching, exotic. My sister was very much found of skirts and wanted to buy the particular skirts but could not find it anywhere. Then one day while surfing the net I came across Indianroots and found that skirts there and gifted it to my sister. It was amazing and my sister really loved it. Thank You Indianroots for providing variety of stuff and trends.

I have ordered one saree. It was going to take long time to ship. I canceled ans asked for refund. They used to reply that they are about to process every time I wrote to them. Then, they stopped replying. I have neither got the product nor refund! By seeing other reviews, I wonder how much money they made by fooling so many people!

I had ordered 2 duppattas 5 months ago total worth of $200 plus. Until a month back they kept on sending me apologetic emails for the delay. Now they are not responding to my emails. Looks like they have no intention of refunding my money back. They have no customer support number and no other way to contact them. Now I know why they are set up this way so that they can scam people. This company will not survive long on such ethics.

Sorry but I do not have the time or patience left to be emailing you with order numbers to rectify this, you should already have the info!. Anyone new wanting to order from INDIAN ROOTS please don't you will be disappointed as you will not get your order or your refund. You won't even get an email, only when you chase them for orders do they reply to say it's delayed, then after 3 attempts they cancel the order, is stick to buying from U. K. Shops or actually going to India and getting it, much safer options!

Do not order from this company. You WILL NOT get your clothes or your refund. A very sad process of dishonesty and thievery covered in care and customer service. Wolves in sheep's clothing. I pray those in this company see of their ways, and turn from the darkness to the light of Jesus Christ who died for them. May they turn from these ways, and do what is right, before they close their eyes for the very last time and stand before their maker for judgement.

Stay away from NDTV's Indian Roots. They are bogus. They collect money by showing merchandise and never deliver. My order is *******. I placed a months ago - paid US $ 160. Never received merchandise nor my money refunded. After complain on this site - they cancelled my order but saying they can not refund my money.

Looks like Indian Roots CEO is some kind of drug addict - stealing money from common people.

Wonder after so many people complaints, he is not yet arrested by law enforcement offices in India.

I am not sure what changed. When they first launched I thought they were here for the long haul but appears that they have gone absconding now. All my previous orders were delivered correctly but the last order I placed in Feb for delivery in March - To date I have received 1 out of the 4 that I ordered (Order #*******). Same polite messages I receive every month when asked for status. And now they have even stopped responding to emails sent to their care email id.

The WROST shopping site in India. So untrustworthy, customer service is very unprofessional. I would not recommend any of my friends/family to shop from them.My order number is *******, which was placed 2 months back, is still not delivered fully. I asked for refund but they are not doing that either. I am going to file a complain against them, and make sure I spread the word around.

Too bad I saw these reviews after I placed the order. The site mentions 45 day delivery period but makes not attempt to adhere to it. Cannot be contacted on phone. Their response via mail and FB is far from prompt, And when the customer tired of waiting for the order wants to cancel, they refuse to do it.

Order number *******. Yea I ordered my product in December around Christmas. It is now February. I have received email saying oh wait contact us in a few days or in a week well have it... Nothing... Then the last email I get just tells me to keep waiting because they haven't sent it yet. Don't waste your money by shopping there. It has truly been most unpleasant and possibly a scam

And after each two business days same response we apologize. Trying to make stop payment. Let's see. Just horrible experience. Till date still waiting.

This is regarding my order# *******. I placed the order on Jan 8 and was informed by Indianroots that I would receive it by Jan 26. It is today Feb 2 and I have not received my package, nor have I received any notification about delay, shipping or status information from Indian roots. Please cancel my order and issue me a full refund through Paypal. I am very disappointed in your service.
Your products are wonderful and I wish you had even standard level of customer service.

I had placed an order in Feb, 2017 and upon constant prodding, around May they inform me that they could not procure the order and would issue a refund which remains to be processed. I assumed they would due it in due course and went ahead and placed another order 3 weeks ago which seems to following the same fate as I have no response to my mails on the status of my order. This has been an extremely frustrating experience and am looking for some way to contact the company so I can get my money refunded but there is no contact number listed and all my emails are sent in vain.

I had ordered an ethnic dress from them... they never shipped for several months... of course customer service one of the best trained liars online... give me a different story each time... lot of time and monry wasted...
Finally had to get my bank in the USA involved for a refund.

After this I have observed they don't accept credit cards. Only PayPal.

Next they also blocked my account login... SO BEWARE

HI, i have been supplying to indianroots for 2 years. Last year i managed to get my payment after a delay of 8 months and that to after i went and sat at their office. Yet again my payments are due for the last 5 months. They dont reply to mails or pick up calls. Finally i have decided to not supply any more orders. These guys are going to close down if they act like this.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY. I purchased a product last August and for the THIRD time it could not be procured. After a RIDICULOUS delivery period, I still didn't receive anything. I ordered something else with the credit that I had and again nothing for 3 months. I asked for a refund and have been chasing it for the last 2 months. They have standard, typed responses with zero customer service. NO CONTACT NUMBER. They are pinnacle of inefficiency and represent everything that you worry about when shopping online from an overseas company.

This company is fraud and are just there to make money and destroy Indian companies reputation. Fool and cheat people for their money. Not at all customer friendly, never respond to messages unless you go on their website and they think you want to shop again so they can cheat you. BE AWARE
Bought 4 items from them but they only shipped two and ignore the rest and kept the money never respond to my e-mail about the issue

NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE WITH THIS COMPANY FOR ORDER CLOTHES ONLINE... TOOK MORE THAN 90 DAYS TO COMPLETE MY ORDER AND THEN ALSO DID NOT SHIP THEM. WHEN I ASKED THEM TO CANCEL MY ORDER AND GIVE ME A REFUND... THEY STILL ARE PROCASTINATING AND NOT ISSUING MY A REFUND... ALSO THERE IS ISSUE WHERE THEY ARE TRYING TO REUND ME LESS MONEY THAN WHAT I PAID FOR THE ORDER.
DO NOT TRUST THIS WEBSITE TO DO A GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. VERY BAD EXPERIENCE FOR ME.

One of the worst companies I've ever dealt with in buying items online. I was told I'd get a refund for a few sarees I bought in September which they "couldn't procure" due to "high demand" for these products. I still haven't got a refund processed which I will now inform PayPal about.
This company is a fraud they will not send you your items or refunds. Do not buy from them!

Atrocious business model, lousy helpline. All they have is an exquisite catalogue, period. They take orders accept the moneys, but do not deliver at all. Their helplines are unresponsive. 3 months since I ordered 2× salwarsuits-no delivery andno refund till date. Guess they'll only respond to the consumer forum.

They don't deserve even a one star rating, but had to apply it as a requirement.
I have written several reviews about these frauds who owe me money for goods never delivered. Got several emails with their bogus Namates and greetings and finally said they would contact PayPal on my behalf to see what happened to my refund. And, now they are ignoring my queries.
DO NOT give this lot your business. Warn as many people as you can. They show fabulous pictures of clothing which they probably do not have access to. If you see any positive reviews - most likely written by them.

I ordered few items 3 months ago, I never received any items from them. When i emailed them to find out the status of shipment they never responded back to my email. I even tried to contact them on Facebook messenger but no response received.

Please do not order from this website.
