Thanks for the response, but I don't think I will try HomeShop18 anymore.
Yes you can buy expensive products also. As far as possible, stick to items that are delivered by Amazon itself (marked as 'Fulfilled by Amazon').
Dear Fair800, you can complain against the distributor either in writing (at http://webapp.indianoil.co.in/paribhavam/) or by phone (at toll-free no. 1800-2333-555).
@ameenmca Before posting your comment, I wonder if you saw that the review was written in 2009? Do you think I am a god to know what will be the policy after 5 years??
@Horned_Owl - I will be the last person to buy a ULIP from anyone! I never mix insurance with investment. The Click 2 Protect is a pure term insurance plan from HDFC Life. Sure, I will update my review as and when there are updates. Thanks for your comment!
Yes it's resolved. Thanks.

By creating fake profiles and posting negative ratings and comments against certain brands, these spammers are attempting to devalue certain bra Read more...
Hello BigRock Thanks for your reply. My problem with the Starter Plan is not related to disk space. It is related to monthly bandwidth limit. A 1GB monthly transfer limit is extremely low for anyone to consider even cheap paid hosting. And your Starter Plan isn't cheap! So please consider increas Read More...

No precise details given as to why BigRock is not good. I am hosting my site with BigRock, and while it isn’’t great, it’’s not so bad also. EDIT:Since your issue is now resolved, why not update the same and revise the rating?
