It is a handbill in the form of a newspaper meant to sell substandard goods to gullible customers.
One is tempted to avail special price for Mumbai Mirrior readers. When the cheque is paid there is no further communication or sign of the material. You will then start asking for the item purchased. They have located their complaints office somewhere in corner of Delhi and not Mumbai. People on the phone where you had booked order act helpless.
If you get refund after contacting Delhi you are really lucky as you will know below--
If you thought you were lucky as the goods reached you after several follow ups, think twice. They are made in such a way that they barely survive warranty period. One piece will fail just within warranty and when it gets over another component gives way.
Although the paper is given free or with minimum price , the cost is high considering the money you lost by purchasing substandard goods.
News items are without depth and editorial are nonexistent. Do you need an editorial for a handbill?
Like warning on cigarette packs there should be one below each special offer "Purchasing goods under this scheme is injurious to your mental and financial Health"
Layout is OK for reading advertisements. The paper is good for raddi.Overall net gain negative due to loss on items purchased.
