In case you are a movie buff and are considering seventymm because they claim to have a vast movie collection and would deliver movies right at your doorstep. think again.
This is how their process works.
1) You either call or get a call from seventymm. The person’s objective would not be to share as much information with you as possible so that you can make an informed decision. He/she would rather want to rush and somehow get you to the credit card step so that they can claim a new victim. They wouldn’t even tell you tariff structures properly.
2) So. you sign up. have your dvd player duly connected. have bought some microwavable popcorn and prepare your wishlist of movies on their website. Now you give them a call to order one of these. only to realize that ALL of them are in circulation(mind you. you have a list of some ten movies and all in circulation!) Anyways, you dont bother much and think that this a one time phenomenon. but just go through the seventymm reviews on internet once and you will realize that people have been banging their heads to get movies of their choice. but to no avails.
never mind. your popcorn wont ditch you like seventymm so you can switch on the tv. watch some movie on any channel and munch your popcorn along.
3) Even though you were not getting movies of your choice. some movies that you had put in your wishlist just for the heck of it. to keep getting movies were pouring in pretty regularly. and you were still happy thinking atleast this way you would broaden your horizons and start developing a taste for different genres. But seventymm wouldnt let you have even this share of fun.
first three/four movies would flow in pretty much on time and then presto. some one switches you off at their office. you keep calling to get a dvd picked and get another movie in return. but the delivery guy never lands up. he forgot the way to your house. when you press the executive on phone hard, he/she tells you that the delivery guy came but your house was locked. maybe you were at your house all through the day but for some reason your neighbor had locked you from outside!
4) Angry and frustrated you call and want to get your subscription terminated. the customer rep cries buckets and buckets of crocodile tears to persuade you to continue giving all kinds of assurances(I am sure. if given a chance he would not fail to tell you that the delivery guy will even board a rocket from moon to earth to get your movie delivered if it comes to that!). you are a fool(please agree that you are. why else did you sign up with seventymm in the first place) and so you agree to continue.
5) The same story continues.
6) You call up again to get your subscription cancelled. this time doubly sure. they finally cancel your subscription much to your relief. but then you realize that they have conveniently forgotten about your security deposit refund. now either keep calling them, or go to consumer court. or forgive them and believe that ultimately market forces will wipe them out and your revenge would be complete.
