iBox Addresses Customer Complaints of Unexpected Product Add-ons at Checkout

Jakarta, Indonesia – Following reports of customers being charged for additional, unrequested products during checkout at iBox stores across Indonesia, Erajaya Group, the parent company of the electronics retailer, has pledged to reinforce service standards and improve customer complaint resolution. The issue, surfacing recently through social media and online forums, alleges staff are adding items to purchases without explicit customer consent.

Erajaya Group operates over 180 iBox outlets nationwide, specializing in Apple products and related accessories. The company’s response comes after growing consumer frustration over the practice, which some customers described as deceptive and a breach of trust.

Senda Parentino, Chief Digital & Operations Officer of Erajaya Group, acknowledged the challenges of maintaining consistent service quality across such a large network. “Our commitment from the center is to provide the best customer service. But with that many shops, it is indeed certainly not easy to apply the same standard. Deviation must be there, but we make sure it does not reflect the values of iBox,” parentino stated during a press conference held August 4, 2025, at the Eraspace Office in South Jakarta.

The company is actively encouraging customers to report any such incidents directly through its customer Care channels, available 365 days a year via telephone, WhatsApp, and Instagram. Parentino assured swift action on all complaints, stating, “We always try to eliminate things like this. If there are problems, please contact us. We will definitely solve it as soon as possible.”

Eric Lee, Chief Category Management Officer of erajaya Digital, identified the issue as a significant internal challenge. He expressed gratitude for media coverage and community feedback, emphasizing that such input is crucial for improvement. “But sometimes there are indeed ‘individuals’ who play,and we immediately acted. Once we get feedback from the community, that is used as input for us to improve ourselves in the future,” lee explained.

to proactively prevent future occurrences, Head of Corporate & Marketing Communications Eraa Stephen Warouw advised customers to carefully review their purchases before completing payment. “So before they pay, they can check any item. So you can,before paying,look at the (item) you wont to buy,” Warouw suggested.

Evergreen Context: iBox and Erajaya Group’s Market Position

Erajaya Group is a leading distributor of mobile phones and accessories in Indonesia, representing brands like apple, Samsung, and Xiaomi. iBox is its flagship retail chain focused exclusively on Apple products,positioning itself as a premium reseller offering authorized products and services. The company’s success is tied to Indonesia’s growing smartphone market, which saw over 65 million smartphone shipments in 2023 according to Counterpoint Research. Maintaining customer trust is paramount for iBox, particularly as competition intensifies from other authorized resellers and the rise of online marketplaces. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by large retail chains in ensuring consistent ethical sales practices across all locations.

Brazilian Confectioner Denilson Lima Captivates with Artistic Sweets
- From Hobby to High Demand
- The Key to Success: Narrative and Connection

Brasília, Brazil – January 10, 2025 – Denilson Lima, a self-taught confectioner based in Brasília, is gaining national recognition for his intricately designed and emotionally resonant sweets. Lima’s creations, which blend traditional Brazilian flavors with avant-garde aesthetics, are attracting a devoted following and sparking a trend in artisanal confectionery across the country. His work has recently been featured in Correio Braziliense, highlighting his unique approach to the culinary arts.

From Hobby to High Demand

Lima’s journey began as a personal passion, evolving from a hobby into a thriving business. He initially honed his skills through online tutorials and experimentation,focusing on mastering techniques in chocolate work,sugar artistry,and pastry design. “The challenges, especially with names and heavy marks, push me to be even more faithful to my identity, consistently bringing something unique and impactful,” Lima explains. He specifically cites the influence of Brazilian modernist architecture, notably the work of Oscar Niemeyer, as a key inspiration for his sculptural candy designs.

lima’s signature style involves incorporating personal narratives and cultural references into each piece. He ofen collaborates with local artists and artisans, sourcing ingredients from regional producers in the Federal District and neighboring states like Goiás and Minas Gerais. A recent commission involved creating a series of 50 bespoke chocolates for a private event celebrating the 60th anniversary of Brasília’s founding, each representing a landmark building or cultural icon of the city.

The Key to Success: Narrative and Connection

lima emphasizes that his success isn’t solely based on the quality of his ingredients or technical skill.”More than a good product, I learned that what moves people is narrative, emotion and connection. My differential is to deliver not only flavor, but presence, identity and soul.Anyone who chooses my work knows that it is indeed taking more than a candy: they are carrying an experience, a signature and a piece of my story.” He currently operates out of a small, home-based studio in the Asa Sul neighborhood of Brasília, with plans to open a dedicated atelier in the city center by the end of 2025.

Despite increasing demand – orders have reportedly increased by 300% in the last six months – Lima remains committed to maintaining the artistic integrity of his work. He states, “More than ingredients, what I deliver is concept, aesthetics and emotion.” When asked about his favorite creations,he replies,”My favorite? Always the next. With each creation, I feel that I’m writing another page of this story.” He is currently experimenting with incorporating native Amazonian fruits, such as cupuaçu and açaí, into his next collection, aiming to showcase the biodiversity of Brazil.
