Nadeem, Tohfay is making money (like all businesses - it has taken its course). 2008 closed with yearly revenues of $117,500. To give you an idea, 2006 closed at $34,900. So we are excited with the result and have a projection of $175,000 for 2009. Asif, Pakistan has little infrastructure at the moment, but it is getting there. Companies like Raseen Technologies and banks such as UBL are enabling customers to shop with convenience through Netbanking. Mobilink has a vision also with its GENIE and MMO initiative. To share with you, we are already getting calls for inquiries for products and prices, which is telling us - hey people are out there "Googling" and coming to our website for answers. Convenience is in! Yes, we are excited. We have a vision. And the best part of it is - we are loving providing the services with Tohfay, MIP and Doodhpatti because people at the receiving end have a need for it. Thank you Furgan for sharing your Tohfay experience! Please do visit the site www.tohfay.com.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1408','Safia Rafi'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Thank you guys for the feedback.

They have pretty satisfying customer support service. They delivered my gift on time. They even put on customer support calls to ask whether the gift is received or not. They are using UBL Net Banking for money transfer, so quick and easy. I loved their service and i am definitely going to avail it again.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1394','Furqan Saleem'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> I have personal experience with TOHFAY.com.

They can’t be blamed because over the past few years, they have heard a lot of horror stories about not receiving the right products, not receiving products in time. But still hopes are alive & surely this business will be on fast track soon in Pakistan because I believe lots of trusted people & companies are working on the same.
