I purchased one HUSH PUUPIE shoe from Bata in Patiala in Punjab (INDIA) from auth. showroom in the month of April 2006. But that shoe get cracked just after 4-5 months, I approached to the dealer but he said they can't do anything because Guarantee is valid only for 70 days... SHOCKING for me I purchased this shoe on the cost of 1100 Rs. after 50% less mean actual cost is 2200 Rs., so according to dealer the life of the shoe is only for 70 days for thier top brand. Its totally a fraud with the customer. And then I approached to companies head office, written a mail and faxed the complaint but still no reply. Attached is the mail which I have sent to the Bata head office but no reply, even I have copy of fax which I sent for same. Everyone beware, never buy buy defective Bata shoes!
