Hi Mr.Juneja,

Sorry about the Inconvenience caused.
Any issues should be reported within 48 hrs from the time of delivery to process Replacement/Refund.
However we are checking with the concerned team to get this resolved in assisting with repair of the product.

Regards,
Homeshop18 Online Support
Actually this is not as much about money refund as is with imposing strict quality checks and marketing ethics so that we can have faith in Indian products and Indian companies. How can we dream of bringing our economy back on track if we cannot help buying imported items. If the foreign traders are pulled out we will be left with no option but to bear with monopolistic exploitation of local manufacturers.
