Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Emailed the company every other day and received no reply. Their phone number listed on their website does not work. They took the money, promised delivery within 48 hours and no delivery!

I made an online purchase, including payment for 48 hour delivery. The goods failed to materialise. I attempted to chase the order but only got an automated response via Taj's online chat facility... See more

It was awful service

It was awful service! Their contact number on their website does not work it just rings then hangs up, their email aswell is not in use. I ordered a few weeks ago and DPD sent the order back to the store then my order delivery was cancelled. I tried to contact DPD and the store no response as to why my order was cancelled yet money was taken out. Seems like such a scam

Poor customer service no customer care

I ordered items and received a partial order. I was told I would receive a refund. 3 weeks later and several ignored emails later I got a response.
My order was partially refunded!
This company is poorly managed with zero customer service or care.

AVOID.

AVOID.
Ordered a couple of products and was impressed to receive the delivery 30 hours later. Unfortunately I received a substitute which I didn’t want. Contacted them by email twice but was ignored which I can see from the thread of comments below is their modus operandi.

AVOID

AVOID, AVOID, AVOID
Total rip off!!! No communication despite sending numerous emails.
I wish I'd read the reviews on here before placing my order.
I've contacted my bank to try to get my money refunded.

Substandard product, zero customer service

I ordered two food items. Fair play, it arrived the following day. However one of the two items was substandard and not fit to consume. I contacted Taj twice via email and received no response. How are they getting away with this shocking lack of customer service? AVOID!!!

Awful Service.

Very Very bad customer service. We placed an online order on 9th Jan, there was no communication about dispatching my order, I then sent them an email requesting an update on my order and then got a message on 16th Jan that they will dispatch it next day. And till today 21st Jan I haven't received anything..Plus no communication from the store.
When placing order it said delivery in 48hrs.
So please beware before ordering online from them. disgusting customer service.
DON'T BE FOOLED
