So many people are asking what was there in that goodie bag and still no one is responding.

I just read a bloggers experience and i had a hard time believing the fact that:
She was given the IPOD directly.
Inditeam are you listening?aka reading? Why such a haywire process???

Thats exactly what we were told too, but no ipod given
.. And to all those who asked abt the goodie bag, i never got it and instead was promised that they will have the iPods sent to our postal address at Ghatkopar Reliance Digital.

Why would 'Reliance' give a 'Flipkar' voucher :P

from hyderabad |
Kept reading the post wondering why there were no photos at all and then saw the reason.
Nice post.

I got used to Flipkart vouchers and now vouchers = flipkart and nothing else.

So whats finally happening....
are we getting the goodie bag or not?
Sherna Jayaraman
from Hyderabad |
Good question. It actually depends on the store you are choosing!
Punit Dubey

Haven't gone through the reviews, but rules say every valid "entry" will earn the blogger an ipod shuffle, that suggests it would be post-Blogging. Now, for the case where someone has got it on the store, probably the store guys messed it u and later realised their mistake...
Renie Ravin

Lots of confusion with this one, I see!
Firstly, sorry about the goodie bags - Reliance did not expect so many bloggers to sign up! Me thinks they underestimated the IndiCommunity. We'll make sure all of you who did not get goodie bags will get them delivered.
If an iPod was given at the store, that was indeed a mistake! @Snuffles - who was this blogger?
Sherna Jayaraman
from Hyderabad |
Renie: i shall drop you an email today with the link to that blog post.

just a word of suggestion..y dont the inditeam inform reliance about the no of bloggers well in advance...coz registration is closed...indiblogger team have the exact statistical data

When will the iPods be given? I have submited my post...And will the iPods be sent to our address or to be collected from the store again??
Ranjith
from hyderabad |
The i pod will [ most probably ] be sent to your address.
If at all it needs to be collected from the store, they will inform you by mail.

Had been to Ghatkopar outlet and was told that the goodie bags were unavailable and that they shall send it to our postal address.Yesterday, I got a call from them and the lady said that you are supposed to collect your 'iPad'..yes..'ipad'..I was dumb for a moment. I neither had received any goodiebag, nor wrote a blog post, neither got an iPod..so how on earth was I eligible for iPad?I asked her to get it confirmed, and then a guy came on the phone and told that it was 'iPod' and that I need to come to their store again to claim it. I tried to clear the air and asked them, how was I eligible for ipod if I haven't wrote any post. He was lost and said 'ok Madam as you wish' and disconnected :-(Cant decide whether to laugh or to moan ;-)

The Reliance people are getting confused.

update us when you receive your ipod
Tushar Kumar Singh
from Delhi,Mumbai |
If I were you, I'd have immediately started the call recording app on my cell, would have drifted this conversation towards him divulging more details about me collecting the sacrosanct "iPad", and then would have eventually hung up, boarded something to the store and would've asked for my iPad starightaway. In case he refuted afterwards, I'd already have a testimony whose copy I'd have already mailed to a few wellwishers who could've taken it forward just in case it got a little more, Messy 
. My goodness, he was actually ready to give away an iPad even without you having shared your experience. That's a classic example of that platitude "luck knocks at the door"

Lolz...I wish I was that techsmart ( to record the conversation) I was so dumbstruck when the lady said that I am supposed to visit the store to claim my free gift of iPAD...anyways not interested in this anymore...most of their staff even dont know about the indiblogger thing..they just keep forwarding contact numbers of some other staff person, to contact them for the update . Not worth it, I say! :-(

@R: (1) almost 50 % strike rate, dude you are a prodigy.
(2) And about the statistics u maintain, I think ISI shall welcome you with a a red carpet.
NB: ISI= Indian statistical Institute
Ranjith
from hyderabad |
50 % strike rate
The secret is participating in every contest - some of the contests receive less number of entries - so higher probability of winning
ISI shall welcome you with a a red carpet
WIth all your blessings, I hope that my success rate crosses 90%

Just came back from Malad Store Awesome experience, store Manager and staff was courteous and our own Nihaal was there to welcome the bloggers. Spent like 1 and half hr at the store
Din get any goodie bag though!!

Update: YEsterday my hubby, who is a tech indioblogger visited the Ghatkopar outlet with his friends and guess what? Not only was he taken to a shop tour, but was directly given the iPod (yeah, before blogging). At the end, when hubby told them how his wife (me) was disappointed with the way things went on Sunday, the manager told that it was a bad day for the staff and that he was into some kind of mess on that day and hence cudnt welcomed the bloggers. He even handed over an iPod for me too ;-)Thank you Indiblogger team! Now wondering what to write on my blog, since I didnt got any 'digital experience' but still enjoying an iPod :-D

If an iPod was given at the store, that was indeed a mistake! @Snuffles - who was this blogger?
this was Renie's reply to snuffles above, i think u are supposed to collect goodie bag not ipod.
Sherna Jayaraman
from Hyderabad |
@nandini and the mistake is fromt he same store. History repeats itself :/
Ranjith
from hyderabad |
I think that they have too many i pods - that's why they are giving them before blogging!

I went to the Andheri store on 8th and it seemed like I was the first one there with Indiblogger invite. They said I'll get my gift within a week and in excitement I totally forgot to collect my goodie bag :( Could they send me the bag as well when they send the ipod to my adress? How do I make sure this happens? Renie please reply.

I had a horrid experience!! And I've written all about it. I may not get an IPod shuffle now after I've trashed the Reliance store so much! :P But for the torture they put me through, this is the only thing I could do!
I never did get any Goodie Bag and I was told it was out of stock. They expected me to give them some "ID Proof" so that they could process the order. The fact that I was holding the IndiBlogger Invite, spoke of my blog with so much clarity was not reason enough to believe. Anyhoo, I'm not gonna go back just to get a Goodie Bag! (P.S: I admit I was a little excited to see what was in the goodie bag & that was why I went so far in the first place. But I ain't going so far again just to get a goodie bag that apparently may not even exist!!)
