[Resolved]  www.Saholic.com & Karbonn Mobiles — Defective handset sold by www.saholic.com & Karbonn Mobiles refuses to repair the handset in warranty period.

Address:Andhra Pradesh

Hi,
My name is Mir Mustafa Ali, I purchased the Karbonn A1 mobile handset online from www.saholic.com website A Spice group venture. Order # 46867 ordered on 14/01/2012 for Rs: 4299 paid them at the time of delivery Invoice no.[protected]. Delivered on 18/01/201 IMEI No: [protected]. The handset had a ringer problem so I lodged a complain to saholic.com customer relations on 20/01/2012. Got a reply from them to contact the Karbonn service center for further assistance & cannot be replaced.

After my multiple attempts of reaching the Karbonn service center on phone, I finally visited their service center : PRIME TECH SERVICES located at: #11, Sagar plaza, City center upper ground floor, Abids, Hyderabad-500001. The service technician there clearly told me that the ringer problem of the A1 handset cannot be repaired, as the Karbonn does't supply spares for it also this is a common problem for Karbonn A1 model and I need to contact the seller for replacement as the handset purchased by me is a defective product.

Please refer to the attached DOA certificate given to me by Karbonn Service center and also the invoice provided by saholic.com n purchase of product.

My Question firstly is to the seller: www.saholic.com A Spice group venture is why was a defective product sold to the customer.
Secondly to the manufacturer of the handset Karbonn Mobiles as why are they selling such a product into the market for which they cannot provide basic repair service.

Also to emphasize the fact is there no regulatory body which controls the sale of defective products in to the market through online, allowing the sellers to cheat the end customers by selling the defective products.

I would also like to make a point clear that a brand like Karbonn is selling a products in the market to customer, with a promise of service warranty. However, when the customer approaches its service center for service it is not well equipped with adequate spares and technicians. How could a brand like Karbonn sell a product and doesn't provide the essential spares to its service centers?

I would also like to warn people from buying products online from such sites, which sells defective products and to also be aware about such mobile companies which sells the products that they cannot service.

Thanks
Mir Mustafa Ali

Did you hear from anyone on this complaint?
Hi I was contacted by Mr Suraj from saholic.com. He assured me that the defective product will be replaced. I received a new karbonn A1 mobile yesterday, after sending the defective product to saholic.com via their representative courier. It was a really quick response from saholic.com customer relations. Also would like to thank https://www.consumercomplaints.in for this. Happy using the new mobile replaced by saholic.com, looking forward for more shopping...

Subject: Defective product (Karbonn A1+) sold by www.adexmart.com (Lakee eShopping India Pvt. Ltd (Chennai))

Hi All,

I had purchased Karbonn A1+ mobile phone from Adexmart.com in Feb, 2013 and I received it within couple of days of booking, however, the mobile was not working with any Sim Card and the usb cable was also defective as it was not keeping plugged in. After contacting the service center (Suri Telecom, West Guru Angad Ngr, Delhi), they said that they have repaired the set and tested it against their server software to confirm its working fine. However, when we tried to insert the Sim it again had no signals.

Once again we went to the Suri Telecom to ask for clarification and the guy attending to us said that we had tested the phone on the software not with Sim Cards and this seems to be a bigger problem and you'll have to leave the mobile with us for atleast 15-20 days. After repetitive calls and follow ups finally I got the phone today (13 April, 2013; almost after 2 months from date of purchase) and the guy said it was a motherboard issue which had to be repaired. Luckily the phone showed few signal bars this time but again we are unable to call any number as the bars disappear when the call is about to connect.

Request someone either from Karbonn/Adexmart to take this forward as we are tired of dealing with your service center guys. And request you to replace the product as it is defective. We have not been able to use this product even for one day, it a shame for Karbonn, Adexmart, Lakee eShopping India Pvt Ltd (Chennai) & Suri Telecom.

I am mentioning the details of my phone below. Please take a corrective action soon.
